Overview
- Ten trades were completed on Nov. 4, matching 2022 for the most deadline-day deals this century.
- Indianapolis sent two first-round picks and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell to the Jets for All-Pro corner Sauce Gardner, whose press skills align with Lou Anarumo's 70.4% press-coverage defense.
- Dallas acquired defensive tackle Quinnen Williams for a 2026 second-rounder and a conditional 2027 first and also added linebacker Logan Wilson for a 2026 seventh to stabilize a thin second level.
- Philadelphia landed edge rusher Jaelan Phillips from Miami for a 2026 third-round pick, with his 16.5% pressure rate addressing the Eagles' depleted pass rush.
- Seattle traded 2026 fourth- and sixth-round picks for deep threat Rashid Shaheed and Jacksonville sent the same picks for Jakobi Meyers, while the Jets' broader sell-off amassed multiple future first- and second-round selections.
