2027 NFL Trade Deadline: What We’re Hearing on Justin Herbert and Other Big Names
Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- The NFL trade deadline is set for 4 p.m. ET on November 10, after which teams must finalize their rosters for the rest of the season.
- The Chicago Bears made a major trade acquiring All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons from the Titans, while the Seahawks traded for guard Quenton Nelson from the Colts, and the Colts sent defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the 49ers.
- Despite the Chargers' 0–7 start, quarterback Justin Herbert is unlikely to be traded unless a package including at least three first-round picks and other assets is offered.
- The Indianapolis Colts are in a fire-sale mode to clear salary and gain draft capital, with star running back Jonathan Taylor and receiver Josh Downs possibly available for trade.
- The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs are also active in trade discussions, with the Eagles potentially moving key players like DeVonta Smith or Saquon Barkley, and the Chiefs looking to add receivers, possibly including Stefon Diggs if Washington decides to sell.
