Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the 2026 NFL trade deadline. After weeks of splashy moves, swirling rumors and increasingly frantic speculation, we’re finally approaching the moment of truth. The clock is ticking and all 32 teams have until 4pm ET (9pm GMT) to get their affairs in order.
It’s already been an eventful trading season. The Chicago Bears made the biggest splash by acquiring All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons from the Tennessee Titans for a package including two first-round draft picks. The Jacksonville Jaguars made a trio of moves to bolster their defense, headlined by a trade with Philadelphia to land defensive tackle Jordan Davis. The Indianapolis Colts have been busy dismantling their roster, shipping eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to San Francisco. Meanwhile, Marvin Harrison Jr has landed in Houston, Joey Porter Jr has joined Dallas and the injury-ravaged Baltimore Ravens have brought in veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett.
But plenty of questions remain unanswered. Will Indianapolis continue their fire sale by parting with star running back Jonathan Taylor? Which contenders will make one last push for reinforcements? And could another blockbuster deal emerge before the window slams shut?
We’ll be following every confirmed trade, credible rumor and last-minute development throughout the day, with instant analysis of what the moves mean for the playoff race and beyond.
Strap in. Deadline day has arrived and there’s plenty still to play out.
