Giants Inquired About Ravens RB Justice Hill
The New York Giants have reached out to the Baltimore Ravens to gauge the trade market for veteran running back Justice Hill, according to Adam Schefter. The 28‑year‑old, a 2019 fourth‑round pick, currently has a two‑year, $4.5 million contract and has logged 240 rushing yards and a touchdown in nine games this season (7.3 yards per carry). Schefter notes Hill, not Derrick Henry, prompted the Giants’ inquiry.
Commanders Still Interested In WR Brandon Aiyuk
The Washington Commanders keep eyes on 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk despite his lingering legal trouble. Reports say the team must negotiate with multiple parties before moving forward, hoping Aiyuk resolves his active arrest warrant for a December misdemeanor speeding charge after posting a video of him driving over 100 mph in a 40‑mph zone. Agent Drew Rosenhaus says Aiyuk has filed reinstatement paperwork and is healthy. The 49ers have retained him on the left‑squad list, preferring to wait for a trade rather than absorb his $120 million contract. Aiyuk, a 2020 No. 25 pick, recorded 23 catches for 351 yards in seven games last season.
Colts Received Offer Of Fourth-Round Pick For WR Josh Downs
The Indianapolis Colts have received a trade offer of a fourth‑round pick for wide receiver Josh Downs, falling short of the team’s asking price of a third‑rounder, according to Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport. Downs, a 2023 third‑round selection (79th overall) from North Carolina, is in the final year of a four‑year, $5.52 million rookie deal and has logged 30 catches for 330 yards and a touchdown in eight games this season. The Colts are also fielding calls for veterans Keenan Allen and defensive tackle Grover Stewart as the trade deadline approaches.
Chargers Have No Interest In Trading Khalil Mack
The Los Angeles Chargers say they will not trade veteran pass rusher Khalil Mack, despite trade rumors ahead of the deadline. Head coach Jim Harbaugh confirms he wants Mack to stay, and the team is also holding onto WR Ladd McConkey and QB Justin Herbert. Mack, 35, joined the Chargers in 2022 and re‑signed on a one‑year, $18 million deal for 2025‑26. In 2026 he’s played seven games, tallying 21 tackles, five TFLs and three sacks.
Ravens Released QB Austin Reed
The Ravens have cut quarterback Austin Reed, just weeks after adding him to the practice squad, NFL reporter Adam Schefter confirms. The move follows Baltimore’s trade for veteran Jacoby Brissett amid a spate of injuries at the QB spot. Reed, 26, entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Chicago Bears in 2024, bounced between practice squads and a futures deal, and spent a brief stint at Ravens training camp in August. He logged 14,488 passing yards and 138 TDs over 52 college games.
Broncos Checked On Availability Of Cardinals TE Trey McBride
The Denver Broncos have inquired league‑wide about acquiring Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride, according to Adam Schefter. Arizona firmly rejects any trade talks. McBride, a 26‑year‑old former second‑round pick (2022), is entering the final year of his rookie deal and earns a $5.2 million base salary in 2025. He recently secured a four‑year, $76 million extension—the richest contract for a tight end—with $43 million guaranteed. In 2026, he’s logged 66 receptions, 544 yards and five touchdowns over eight games.
Colts Receiving Calls From Multiple Teams On QB Daniel Jones & RB Jonathan Taylor
The Indianapolis Colts are fielding trade inquiries for both running back Jonathan Taylor and quarterback Daniel Jones, according to Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport. Taylor has been a trade target since the team’s roster clear‑out, and now multiple franchises are also asking about Jones, who recently avoided a benching decision from head coach Shane Steichen despite backup Anthony Richardson’s marijuana possession case. Jones, the 2019 No. 6 overall pick, is on a two‑year, $88 million extension after finishing his rookie deal. In 2026 he’s played seven games, posting 1,398 yards, four TDs and seven interceptions.
Ravens Not Expected To Trade RB Derrick Henry
Adam Schefter says the Baltimore Ravens are unlikely to trade veteran running back Derrick Henry before the deadline. The 32‑year‑old, a former Titans second‑round pick, has a two‑year, $30 million extension with Baltimore after a $16 million deal last year. In 2026 he’s logged 158 carries for 632 yards (4.0 YPC) and eight rushing TDs, plus 12 receptions for 75 yards and a receiving TD in eight games. The report notes his contract history and that updates will follow.

In a notable trade, the Cardinals send QB Jacoby Brissett and a 2027 fifth‑rounder to the Ravens for a 2027 fourth‑round pick and a 2028 seventh‑round pick, with the Ravens also swapping those same picks in the opposite direction and waiving QB Austin Reed. These transactions were posted on NFLTradeRumors.co on November 7, 2026.

Meanwhile, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans praised rookie OT Braden Smith’s debut, highlighted the steady play of rookie lineman Keylan Rutledge, and urged second‑year tackle Aireontae “’Tae” Ersery to maintain his motor in the second half.
