Three days before the NFL trade deadline, the biggest names are mostly staying put. That was the theme of Saturday’s reporting from Adam Schefter, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero: the Colts are fielding calls on Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor but are in no hurry, the Ravens are keeping Derrick Henry, the Chargers are keeping Khalil Mack, and the Broncos were told no on Trey McBride. The deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 4 p.m. ET, and Pelissero wrote that executives expect the real action to start only after Sunday’s games.
There have been eight trades since the regular season began, the most recent being the Ravens’ deal for Jacoby Brissett on Friday. Here is where the rest of the market stands.
Colts: calls on Daniel Jones, Taylor likely stays
Indianapolis has held trade talks on Jones as multiple teams have called about the quarterback, Schefter and Rapoport reported. Baltimore checked in before it landed Brissett, and Minnesota, a team Jones has history with, has come up in speculation. The Colts (2-6) are expected to keep taking calls through Tuesday because they want draft capital and less financial risk. Jones signed a two-year, $88 million deal in March, and a $10.51 million injury guarantee for 2027 becomes fully guaranteed on March 15 if he is still on the roster. Pelissero, on the other hand, reported that the Colts have told interested teams they are not trading him. Jones is set to start Sunday against Dallas.
It’s not just Jonathan Taylor; the Colts have received calls from multiple teams inquiring about trading for Daniel Jones, per @RapSheet and me.

Taylor remains the biggest name on the board, but Pelissero wrote that the most likely outcome is that he stays in Indianapolis. The Colts quickly turned down an offer of a 2027 second-round pick plus another pick, and no team has come close to the premium price they want. Taylor is 27, signed a two-year, $44 million extension in August, and could have just as much value in March, when a new general manager will be in place after the Colts’ sell-off that began with Chris Ballard’s firing.
Other Colts are more available. Indianapolis has told teams it has a fourth-round offer for receiver Josh Downs, who asked to be traded in the final year of his contract; the Colts had first asked for a third. Keenan Allen has drawn inquiries, and defensive tackle Grover Stewart has interest, though the asking price is higher than teams want to pay.
Henry, Mack and McBride are not moving
The Ravens recently told Henry they have no intention of trading him and never considered it, Schefter reported, ending talk that grew after Baltimore lost Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley at quarterback. The only Ravens running back the Giants asked about was Justice Hill. Henry said after Thursday’s 33-10 loss to Jacksonville that he has not talked about going anywhere. He passed Jerome Bettis and LaDainian Tomlinson that night and is seventh on the career rushing list with 13,707 yards.
In Los Angeles, the Chargers are 0-7 and still not selling. They have told teams Mack will not be traded, and calls on Justin Herbert, Ladd McConkey and others have been met with hard no’s, as they were earlier in the week. “I want Khalil Mack here,” Jim Harbaugh told reporters. “Khalil Mack wants to be here.” Jeremy Fowler summed up the team’s view: Day 3 picks can be had any time, so why trade good players for them?
Denver has been calling around about tight ends and went as far as asking Arizona about McBride, who grew up in Fort Morgan, Colorado, and played at Colorado State. The Cardinals said they have zero intention of trading him, and the Broncos moved on to other targets.
The Denver Broncos have checked in around the league on tight ends, going so far as to ambitiously — and some would say outrageously — check on Cardinals star Trey McBride, who is from Fort Morgan, Colorado, and played at Colorado State. The Cardinals made it very clear they have zero intention of trading McBride.

The receiver market and the Aiyuk wrinkle
Kansas City, Pittsburgh and San Francisco are all looking for receivers, and Pelissero called it a good bet that more than one will be moved by Tuesday. Names to watch include Downs, Tennessee’s Calvin Ridley, who could cost only a late-round pick, and Jacksonville’s Brian Thomas Jr. The Jaguars have resisted calls on Thomas for years, but he played only 19 snaps on Thursday night without a catch, and the Chiefs remain interested. Jacksonville is also looking for a defensive playmaker after losing DaVon Hamilton. The 49ers are checking on tight ends too, in case a receiver deal does not happen.
The Chiefs, Steelers and 49ers are among the teams calling around for WR help, and it’s a good bet multiple receivers will be traded by Tuesday’s deadline, with Brian Thomas Jr., Josh Downs and Calvin Ridley among names to watch.

One more name could come into play. Washington has not completely given up on Brandon Aiyuk, who was linked to the Commanders in the summer. It is “not a no, but it’s also not a yes just yet,” Schefter and Rapoport wrote, and several people would have to sign off first. Aiyuk is still not reinstated after Friday’s meeting with the 49ers, which ended with Drew Rosenhaus saying only “to be continued.”
Who else is shopping
The Giants have made it clear they want to make a big move, looking at running backs and defensive tackles. Their interest in Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne before his injury showed that John Harbaugh and general manager Joe Schoen are willing to spend future picks. Tennessee is listening on Ridley but does not want to trade running back Tony Pollard.
Most of the remaining decisions will wait until after Week 9. A bad Sunday can turn a buyer into a seller, and an injury, like the ones that sent Baltimore to Brissett, can create a new buyer overnight.
