With Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season underway and the trade deadline on Nov. 10, ESPN insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano have been canvassing sources around the league for the latest trade market news and notable buzz. Which teams are most likely to bring in help, which players could end up in a new city, and will the Colts keep dealing away players?
The Kansas City Chiefs appear poised to add at wide receiver. Injuries to Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton have left holes in the passing game that Kenneth Walker III alone cannot mask, and Sunday night's loss in Seattle showed how poorly the offense can look without downfield playmakers. Fowler points to the Colts' Josh Downs as a potential fit, while the Browns' Jerry Jeudy is also an option, though Cleveland is unlikely to move him without a significant offer. Graziano expects Kansas City to add at least one pass catcher or offensive lineman.
The bigger intrigue lies with the surprise contenders. The first-place Giants could trade draft picks for a win-now player, and the AFC North-leading Browns, now 5-2, might be tempted to reward their surprising start by adding help. Cleveland is considered a team to watch, with defensive line depth and a versatile tight end or H-back as possible targets.
The AFC North remains chaotic, with the Browns on top and the Ravens in last place. The Jets' struggles and the Colts' willingness to sell players also remain central storylines as the deadline approaches.
