More on the Chiefs trading All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Rams, with @nateatkins.bsky.social and @jessenewell.bsky.social:

The Rams still own the No. 13 pick, acquired from the Falcons during a draft-day swap last year. They trade their own first in the 2026 draft for a proven outside option, addressing one of their biggest offseason needs by adding Trent McDuffie.

The Chiefs are acquiring pick No. 29, a fifth, sixth, and 2027 third-round pick for McDuffie, per source.

As the QB market plays out, trade targets remain in play for several teams. I’m told teams have reached out to the Broncos about backup Jarrett Stidham, whose lone start of the season came in the AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

A.J. Brown’s situation is similar to Maxx Crosby’s. League sources say the Eagles have set a high price for the three-time Pro Bowler, and Howie Roseman has remained firm, even dating back to last season: To get Brown, it will take a big package. Teams remain interested.

So where do things stand right now with Maxx Crosby? Based on several conversations with league sources, the Raiders have not moved off from their asking price of two first-round picks and a player. (1/2)

“Crosby hasn’t made a stink publicly, partly because of his deep affection for the Raiders’ fan base, but it’s clear that he has exhausted all efforts in Vegas. He’s had a new boss every 12 seconds, with one winning season out of seven to show for it.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

2026 tag season wrap-up: Franchise tagged: 🏷️ Cowboys WR George Pickens 🏷️ Falcons TE Kyle Pitts 🏷️ Jets RB Breece Hall Transition tagged: 🏷️ Colts QB Daniel Jones

Kyler Murray's time in Arizona will soon be coming to an end.

More on the Colts placing the transition tag on QB Daniel Jones, and how it affects WR Alec Pierce:

As Alec Pierce’s reps and the Colts continue to negotiate at this hour, one other note that helps Indy: Alec’s brother Caden, a standout basketball player for Princeton, recently transferred… to Purdue.

The Colts’ goal has been to keep both of their top free agents — Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce — off the market. With the transition tag placed on Jones, Indy turns its attention to Pierce, hoping to get a deal done before he becomes one of the top free agents available next week.

Indianapolis has been consistent in its desire to have Daniel Jones lead its QB room in 2026. As the two sides continue to negotiate a longer contract, the tag (worth $37.8 million) gives the Colts the right to match any offer sheet Jones signs with another team.

NEWS: The Colts are placing the transition tag on QB Daniel Jones, per sources. Jones, who signed a one-year deal with Indy last offseason, was pacing for a career year before tearing his Achilles in Week 14.

This was never seriously considered by the team. I’m expecting Hendrickson to have a strong market based on talking to several teams interested.

The trade is pending physicals for both players and cannot be processed until the start of the new league year. Tennessee’s scheme switch made Sweat a trade option, while Robert Saleh’s history with Johnson made him an ideal target for the Titans' new regime.

Jermaine Johnson, a 2022 Jets first-round pick, drew trade interest ahead of last year’s deadline. The Jets hung onto him then, but deal him now to the Titans and reunite him with Robert Saleh.
