The trade deadline buzz centers on tight ends as the Denver Broncos explore upgrades while Evan Engram struggles this season. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Engram is on other teams’ radars but unlikely to move because Denver lacks a ready replacement. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers could benefit from the market, eyeing low‑cost options like Ja’Tavion Sanders as they position themselves to cash in. The Broncos also considered a deal for Arizona’s star TE Trey McBride, but the Cardinals rejected any offers.
WILMINGTON, N.C. – The Kent State University men's basketball team (1-1) is back on the court on Wednesday, Nov. 11 on the road at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (2-0).

The NFL trade that would have sent Eagles defensive end Arnold Ebiketie to the Bengals falls apart, NFL insider Jordan Schultz confirms. The deal’s collapse isn’t due to physical or performance issues but appears tied to compensatory pick calculations, as analysts note the Bengals could lose a 2027 third‑round pick after losing Trey Hendrickson in free agency. Ebiketie, a 27‑year‑old who posted 25 tackles and two QB hits in nine games this season, remains in Philadelphia amid the Eagles’ recent roster churn, including the Jordan Davis trade. The Bengals, dealing with a defensive‑line injury, now face the Steelers with unchanged depth concerns.
On Nov. 7, 2026, a homecoming weekend at Winston‑Salem State University turned deadly when two shootings erupted on campus. The first, at about 9:45 p.m., killed 19‑year‑old Peyton Patterson and wounded Alyssa Ellerbee; 20‑year‑old Ziyaire Spinks is charged with murder and Cequan Brower with misdemeanor affray.

Former Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar, who led the SEC with 274.2 passing yards per game in 2025, signs with the Arizona Cardinals' active roster after a stint on the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice squad. The move follows Gardner Minshew’s season‑ending UCL tear and the Cardinals' recent trade of Jacoby Brissett. With rookie Carson Beck poised to start against the Rams, the 3‑6 Cardinals, coached by Mike LaFleur, are building for the future despite a slim chance of a late‑season surge. Aguilar’s addition adds depth to a quarterback‑scarce roster.

During Monday Night Football’s Bills‑Vikings clash, former quarterback Troy Aikman humorously quipped he’d need a loan to try on Justin Jefferson’s massive diamond chain, a jab that underscored his contract limbo at ESPN. While Joe Buck recently secured a six‑year, $108 million extension, Aikman is heading into free agency after the final year of his $90 million deal, sparking well‑publicized tension in the booth. The light‑hearted exchange highlighted the stark contrast in their job security without diverting from the game’s action.
At the midpoint of the Chiefs' 2026 campaign, Arrowhead Pride names rookie defensive back Chris Roland‑Wallace its Most Improved Player. Undrafted out of USC, Roland‑Wallace earned a roster spot in 2024 and now shines on special teams and defense, posting a 72.2 PFF overall grade (20th among safeties) and a 77.6 coverage grade (6th). He’s logged 14 solo tackles, limited opponents to 6.4 yards per completion, and has been snapping over 70% of defensive snaps after L’Jarius Sneed’s IR move. With his rookie contract ending, he’ll be a restricted free agent in 2027, prompting speculation of a modest Chiefs extension.
Jones said the addition will likely come through free agency rather than a trade after Goodson injured his knee in Sunday’s win at Indianapolis.
The rumored trade that would have sent Eagles defensive end Arnold Ebiketie to Cincinnati has collapsed, according to Jordan Schultz. The deal fell apart for salary‑cap reasons, not performance, because the Bengals would have forfeited a 2027 third‑round compensatory pick they were slated to receive after losing three free agents (Trey Hendrickson, Joseph Ossai, Noah Fant). Instead, Cincinnati offered a 2027 sixth‑rounder, which would also erase the extra third‑round compensation. Ebiketie, a 2022 second‑round pick and former Penn State standout, is in his first year of free agency after a $8.8 million contract, posting 25 tackles in nine games for Philadelphia this season.
Buffalo’s defense leaps to 15th in the new Defensive Impact on Passing (DIP) metric after Week 9, climbing from 23rd at midseason. Despite facing lower‑tier QBs like Lamar Jackson and Max Brosmer, the Bills now boast a negative DIP score—meaning opponents’ passing performs worse against them than against other teams—and rank fifth in the AFC. The article explains DIP, its EPA‑based calculations, and why the recent two‑game, 16‑point hold isn’t merely a fluke, offering a data‑driven view of the unit’s resurgence.
As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the Denver Broncos—sitting atop the AFC West at 7-2—are fielding inquiries about tight end Evan Engram. Two‑time Pro Bowler Engram, 32, has recorded 169 yards and a touchdown this season, with only three 30‑yard games so far. ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler says teams are interested but the move is unlikely, as Denver lacks a clear replacement and favors retaining the veteran. While a tighter line‑up could boost Denver’s 20th‑ranked offense, Engram may prefer a more prolific passing attack elsewhere, though the Broncos’ current success dampens trade talks.
It took Viggo Bjorck 17 games to hit the scoresheet for the first time in his NHL career. While offense is just one dimension of what makes the 18-year-old such a special prospect, how has he handled his role with the Winnipeg Jets early on?
The NFL trade deadline tracker highlights the Jacksonville Jaguars’ aggressive buying spree while the Philadelphia Eagles begin offloading assets. The Jags lock up Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis for a 2027 first‑round and a 2029 second‑round pick, and also acquire safety Jessie Bates III and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, surrendering multiple future picks. Meanwhile, speculation that Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. could move stalls as the team decides to keep him, and the Eagles trade a 2028 sixth‑rounder to Detroit for safety Andre Cisco. The Steelers receive compensation for Josh Downs and face the Jaguars on Monday Night Football.

Pro Football Talk reports the San Francisco 49ers will likely waive WR Brandon Aiyuk by the end of today’s league business day to avoid a $1.52 million salary hit. Aiyuk, reinstated to the roster yesterday, remains on a contract dispute after a 2024 ACL tear and a voided guarantee. The 49ers seek repayment of roughly $13 million in bonus money, and at least one NFC team is already discussing a practice‑squad deal for him. Aiyuk, a 2020 No. 25 pick, posted 23 catches for 351 yards in seven games last season, making him a potential trade‑deadline wild card.

Four Pittsburgh Steelers rookies earn spots on Dane Brugler’s Midseason All‑Rookie Team, highlighting the impact of a draft class that flew under the radar. Despite limited hype in April—aside from Navy’s Eli Heidenreich and the missed USC wide‑out Makai Lemon—the 2026 rookies have already made their mark, with standout performances that merit midseason recognition.
It is the day of the 2026 NFL trade deadline, with some stars already on the move, and others possibly to follow.
Jones said Dallas has not had a meaningful dialogue about any player in two or three weeks, with the 4-5 Cowboys hosting the 49ers on Sunday.
The Carolina Panthers, sitting 3-5 but still atop the NFC South, restructure offensive tackle Taylor Moton's contract on Nov. 10, 2026, converting $5.3 million of his salary into a signing bonus and freeing $3.5 million against the 2026 salary cap. The move brings the Panthers' 2026 cap hit to $17.4 million and creates wiggle room for potential deadline moves, such as signing free‑agent cornerback Jack Jones or adding inexpensive veterans to cover injuries to Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson and Will Lee. While the extra $3.5 million won’t fund a blockbuster trade, it gives the team flexibility to address depth needs.
The Kansas City Chiefs are back in the win column after blowing out the New York Jets in Week 9. The team desperately needed a game like this after dropping back-to-back games and losing their lead in the AFC West.
