The 2026 NFL trade deadline is right around the corner. Teams have until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 10, to make deals in an effort to either improve rosters for a playoff push, or prepare for a rebuild over the upcoming offseason.
But some teams have not waited to push deals across the line.
Monday began with the news that the Atlanta Falcons were sending defensive back Jessie Bates III to the Jacksonville Jaguars, as general manager James Gladstone tries to improve a defense that is already considered one of the best in the league.
While we expect more deals to come, here is a running list of the trades that have gone down so far. This will be updated as new deals come through.
Trade deadline week kicked off in style with the Atlanta Falcons sending veteran safety Jessie Bates III to the Jacksonville Jaguars. For the Jaguars, it is a move to shore up the secondary as Jacksonville tries to maximize the current window of contention. For Atlanta, it is a move to get something for Bates ahead of his free agency, and with the Falcons currently looking at over $100 million in cap space, they might not receive a compensatory selection for Bates should he walk in free agency and Atlanta make the most of those resources.
Here are the full terms of the trade:
With Arizona benching quarterback Jacoby Brissett, and the Ravens suddenly looking at life without Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley for at least the next few weeks as both are dealing with injuries, this move makes a good bit of sense. Brissett gets a chance to play on a team that is trying to stay in the playoff chase, the Ravens get a quarterback that gives them a chance to do just that, and Arizona … well maybe they could have handled things differently but they got some picks in return.

Now this was a big one.
With the Chicago Bears trying to keep pace in the tough NFC North, and the defense remaining an issue, general manager Ryan Poles swung for the fences, bringing in defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons in a trade with the Tennessee Titans. Simmons paid immediate dividends, as he was stellar in his Chicago debut against the Seattle Seahawks.

Changes are coming in Indianapolis.
After parting ways with general manager Chris Ballard, the Colts began moving players with an eye to the future. One of those deals saw Indianapolis send DeForest Buckner back to the San Francisco 49ers, returning the defensive lineman to the team that drafted him with the seventh-overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Here are the full terms of the trade:
Indianapolis started their impending fire sale with a move involving guard Quenton Nelson. Still one of the premier interior offensive linemen in the NFL, the Colts sent him to Seattle as the Seahawks look to shore up their offensive line.

It just never seemed to click for Marvin Harrison Jr. in Arizona.
Billed as one of the top wide receiver prospects in recent memory, Harrison never quite lived up to that hype with the Cardinals. Arizona selected him as the fourth-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and after catching 62 passes for 885 yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie, he caught just 41 passes during 2025 and had only pulled in five receptions through the first four games of the season with Arizona.
In a move that reunited him with former college teammate C.J. Stroud, the Texans acquired him to try and give Stroud a familiar target in the passing game.

Back at the start of October, the Baltimore Ravens swung a deal for offensive lineman Cam Jurgens of the Eagles.
The move was made to shore up the interior offensive line, in the wake of center Tyler Linderbaum signing with the Las Vegas Raiders last offseason. Baltimore’s top three centers were on injured reserve at the time the move was made, and the Ravens were using rookie guard Olaivavega Ioane in the middle.
Here are the full terms of the trade:
October began with the Pittsburgh Steelers finally coming to a decision on cornerback Joey Porter Jr. Porter was seeking a contract extension from the team, but the two sides were unable to come to terms on a new deal. He also missed each of Pittsburgh’s first three games of the season due to a lingering back injury.
So Jerry Jones stepped in, acquiring the cornerback in yet another move to try and shore up a struggling defense.

The first big trade of the 2026 NFL season came back at the end of September.
When the New York Giants lost quarterback Jaxson Dart to a knee injury, many wondered if the team would swing a trade for a quarterback.
Enter J.J. McCarthy. With the former Michigan passer on the losing end of a camp battle with Kyler Murray — and relegated to the QB3 spot to begin the year behind Carson Wentz — he found a fresh start in the Big Apple. And he has taken over as the team’s starting quarterback, leading the Giants to wins over Houston and Philadelphia over the past two games.
