The NFL trade deadline arrives Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and Monday delivered one of the busiest trading days in recent league history, with stars such as Jeffery Simmons, DeForest Buckner, Quenton Nelson and Marvin Harrison Jr. all changing teams before the deadline.
The Chicago Bears landed the biggest prize, acquiring star defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons and a 2028 fifth-round pick from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for first-round picks in 2027 and 2028, plus a 2027 fourth-rounder.
The Indianapolis Colts were the day's biggest sellers, trading two cornerstones of their roster. Guard Quenton Nelson went to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, and defensive lineman DeForest Buckner returned to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2027 fourth-round pick.
The Arizona Cardinals dealt wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Houston Texans for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick. The Cardinals also sent veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick.
The Ravens also added Eagles offensive lineman Cam Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick, sending Philadelphia a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick. The Minnesota Vikings traded quarterback J.J. McCarthy to the New York Giants for a 2027 fifth-round pick, and the Pittsburgh Steelers sent cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to the Dallas Cowboys for 2027 sixth-round and 2028 second-round picks.
The Detroit Lions added Jets safety Andre Cisco for a 2028 sixth-round pick. The moves followed the Jacksonville Jaguars' three defensive additions reported earlier Monday — defensive tackle Jordan Davis from Philadelphia, safety Jessie Bates III from Atlanta and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from New Orleans.
Running back Jonathan Taylor remained the biggest name still in trade discussions as Tuesday's deadline approached, with the Colts reportedly listening to offers. No completed transaction involving Taylor had been announced as of Monday night. All deals are subject to the players passing physicals.
