The 2026 NFL trade deadline is Nov. 10, at 4 p.m. ET. But the deals have already kicked off. With quarterback Jaxson Dart undergoing surgery on his left knee last Friday, the Giants traded for Vikings quarterback J.J. Mc Carthy. Amid contract extension negotiations that went nowhere, the Steelers traded Joey Porter Jr. to the Cowboys.
The Steelers are trading Porter to the Cowboys for a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-round selection, sources confirmed to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe and ESPN's Todd Archer. The trade marks the end of a months-long saga that stretched throughout the Steelers' offseason as Porter, one of the team's 2023 second-round picks, awaited an extension and was sidelined with a back injury.
The Giants traded for Vikings quarterback Mc Carthy on Monday, sending a 2027 fifth-round draft pick to Minnesota for the 2024 first-round pick. Mc Carthy, taken by the Vikings with the No. 10 pick, was the third-string quarterback in Minnesota behind starter Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz.
