The trade deadline is in a few hours. Jordan Schultz predicted there would be more than eight trades on Tuesday. We will see if this comes true. The morning has been relatively calm so far.
Nothing yet on the San Francisco 49ers front. Jake Moody has found work. The Falcons signed him to their 53-man roster from the Ravens’ practice squad.
We’ll keep track of every rumor, like the Niners having their eyes on wide receivers. Speaking of which, Schultz also said that Brandon Aiyuk could land with an unnamed NFC team, likely on their practice squad, once the 49ers release him.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said there was interest in Broncos tight end Evan Engram, but he was unlikely to be traded because the Broncos didn’t have a replacement.
Fowler also said the Jaguars plan to keep Brian Thomas Jr. until the deadline.
Commanders are listening to offers but, according to Ben Standig, they are unlikely to trade players before the deadline.
The Vikings, after a terrible performance from Carson Wentz on Monday night, are making calls across the league for a quarterback. If you’re the 49ers, upgrading a contender doesn’t make sense unless Minnesota overpays for Mac Jones. Kirk Cousins is everywhere in this situation.
The Eagles traded Arnold Ebiketie for a sixth-round pick in the 2027 draft. Ebiketie played under Raheem Morris in Atlanta.
Albert Breer reported that the Jaguars made a significant offer for Will McDonald before Monday’s trade. Perhaps this is a sign that the Jets’ asking price for McDonald is too high.
Update from Kyle, 10:25 a.m. PT: Surprise, surprise. Adam Schefter tweeted that the Vikings have identified Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins as a leading trade candidate.
