The biggest rumors
These are reports and rumors, not done deals.
Jonathan Taylor, RB, Colts
ESPN reported on Oct. 31 that the Colts are open to trading Taylor. The Broncos, Packers, Vikings, Giants and Seahawks have shown interest. Taylor is waiting for an answer. "No one wants uncertainty," he said this week. Indianapolis’s 42-7 loss to Jacksonville in Week 8 only adds to the pressure to sell. More.
Josh Sweat, edge rusher, Cardinals
Sweat asked for a trade in the offseason. Arizona (2-5 before Week 8) could sell, and CBS names the Cowboys, Bills and Packers as possible landing spots.
Josh Downs, WR, Colts
Downs has asked for a trade. Possible destinations: Rams, Patriots, Falcons and Chiefs.
Jauan Jennings, WR, Vikings
A reported trade to the 49ers fell through, according to CBS, because Jennings did not want to go back to San Francisco.
Not happening (for now)
- Saquon Barkley: ESPN reports the Eagles will not trade him, even after six straight losses.
- Garrett Wilson: The Jets receiver reportedly wants to stay in New York.
Buyers and sellers
| Likely buyers | Likely sellers |
|---|---|
| Chiefs: want a receiver for Patrick Mahomes | Colts: already traded Nelson and Buckner |
