NFL trade deadline live updates: Latest news, rumors after Week 8 - USA Today
The NFL trade deadline is approaching with significant player movement already occurring, including major trades involving the Seahawks, Colts, and Bears. Teams are actively reshaping rosters, with further high-profile trades expected before the November 10 cutoff.
Why it matters
Mid-season trades significantly alter the competitive landscape of the NFL, impacting playoff races and team strategies.
The NFL trade deadline is closing in, and more deals might materialize well before the Nov. 10 cutoff.
Last week saw a significant acceleration of action on the player movement front, with multiple contenders making bold moves to reshape their short-term outlook. The Seattle Seahawks patched up one of their key vulnerabilities by adding eight-time Pro Bowl offensive guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts , who later the same day shipped off defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers . But perhaps the biggest in-season stunner came in the form of the Chicago Bears' acquisition of All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons , who netted the Tennessee Titans two first-round draft picks in return.
