Meanwhile, the Cardinals’ OLB Josh Sweat draws trade interest despite salary hurdles, while OLB Baron Browning emerges as a more feasible mover and CB Garrett Williams may be on the chopping block, according to The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones.

No Quick Resolution Expected For Brandon Aiyuk As 49ers Seek Bonus Repayment
The saga over 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk shows no quick fix, with San Francisco aiming to reclaim a $13 million bonus after his last game in 2024. Legal troubles linger—a December misdemeanor speeding warrant remains active—while Aiyuk’s new agent, Drew Rosenhaus, says the player has filed reinstatement paperwork and is ready to return. The Washington Commanders stay interested but must navigate multiple negotiations. Aiyuk, a 2020 first‑round pick with a $120 million extension, posted modest 2024 numbers (23 catches, 351 yards). The resolve may take days, weeks, or months.
Jets Still Turning Away Trade Interest In RB Breece Hall
The New York Jets are rejecting all trade offers for running back Breece Hall, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Despite interest from contending teams, the Jets turned down a third‑round pick last season and remain committed to Hall as a cornerstone of their rebuild. Hall, a two‑time All‑American and former Big 12 player of the year, was drafted 36th overall in 2022 and recently signed a three‑year, $43.5 million extension after being franchise‑tagged. In 2026 he’s logged 163 rushing yards on 51 attempts (3.2 YPC) with one touchdown and 102 receiving yards on 10 catches.
North Carolina State Hiring Philip Rivers As Head Coach
North Carolina State is close to appointing former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers as its next head coach, succeeding Dave Doeren after a 14‑year tenure. Rivers, a 44‑year‑old NC State alum (2000‑03) and ex‑first‑round pick, has no major college or pro coaching experience beyond a stint coaching his sons' high school team and a surprise three‑game return with the Colts in 2025. His son has committed to play quarterback for the Wolfpack in 2027, adding a family tie to the hire. Rivers' résumé includes 247 NFL games, 425 touchdowns and eight Pro Bowls.
Giants Offered 2nd/5th For Jonathan Taylor, Colts Expected To Keep Him Through Trade Deadline?
The New York Giants' offer of a second‑round pick and a 2028 fifth‑rounder for RB Jonathan Taylor has been withdrawn, and the Indianapolis Colts are expected to retain him through the trade deadline. Sources say the Colts will revisit a deal in the offseason, targeting a first‑round pick or a package similar to the 49ers' McCaffrey trade (second‑, third‑, fourth‑, and fifth‑round picks). Taylor, 27, is entering the final year of his recent two‑year, $44 million extension, having logged 610 rushing yards, 8 touchdowns, and 202 receiving yards in eight games this season. The article will update as the deadline approaches.
Vikings Promoting WR Odell Beckham Jr.
The Minnesota Vikings have elevated wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their 53-man roster, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The 33‑year‑old, a former No. 12 overall pick in 2014, has bounced around the league—traded from the Giants to the Browns in 2019, brief stints with the Rams, Ravens, Dolphins, and a short return to New York—before landing on the Vikings practice squad. In 2026 he has played three games for the Giants, seeing only one target. The move gives the Vikings a veteran talent with a $1.3 million one‑year deal, adding depth to their receiving corps.
Seven Teams Contacted RB Dameon Pierce After Eagles Release
Veteran running back Dameon Pierce receives interest from seven NFL clubs after the Eagles cut him from injured reserve. The suitors—49ers, Cardinals, Dolphins, Jaguars, Panthers, Ravens and Titans—reach out as Philadelphia clears roster space, not because of a severe hamstring injury. Pierce, 26, was a 2022 fourth‑round pick from Florida, finished 2026 with the Eagles posting 96 rushing yards on 37 carries (2.6 YPC), seven catches for 14 yards and two touchdowns in three games. He’s on a settlement that blocks an immediate return to Philadelphia for at least four games, leaving his $4.48 million rookie deal, now expired, open for a new team.
Sam Darnold Could Miss Week 10 For Seahawks, Too
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold faces another week on the sidelines as rib and quad injuries keep him out of the Week 10 matchup against the Raiders, according to Adam Schefter. With a bye in Week 11 and a pivotal Week 12 showdown with the 49ers, Seattle hopes the 29‑year‑old returns healthy. Darnold, a former 2018 first‑round pick, has logged seven games this season, posting 60.2% completions for 1,478 yards, 10 TDs and nine interceptions. His contract history includes stints with the Jets, Panthers, 49ers, Vikings and a three‑year, $100 million deal with Seattle.
Giants Have Cooled On Trading For Jonathan Taylor?
The New York Giants appear to have stepped back from pursuing Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, citing an overly steep price. Sources say the team is focused on adding a defensive tackle and is unwilling to match Indianapolis’ asking price of a first‑round pick or a package similar to the 49ers’ McCaffrey deal. The Giants reportedly offered a second‑rounder and a 2028 fifth‑round pick, which wasn’t enough. Taylor, 27, is entering the final year of his contract after a recent two‑year, $44 million extension and has logged 610 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in eight games this season. The Colts are likely to keep him for now and may revisit trade talks in the offseason.
Lamar Jackson Has Six To Nine-Week Timeline To Return From Thumb Injury
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson faces a six‑to‑nine‑week recovery after thumb surgery, according to Ian Rapoport. Jackson urged teammates to stay alive in the playoff hunt while Baltimore added veteran Jacoby Brissett following a benching by the Cardinals. The team also lost backup Tyler Huntley to a turf‑toe injury and has relied on undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, who struggled in recent defeats that left the Ravens 4‑5. Jackson, a 2018 first‑round pick, has posted 967 passing yards, six TDs, one INT and 144 rushing yards this season. The franchise tag and a $260 million extension keep him locked in through 2027.

LB Ty’Ron Hopper adds two interceptions, a sack and five pass breakups, showing rapid improvement.
