The 2025 NFL trade deadline brought plenty of surprises, with star players and rising talents finding new homes across the league. From blockbuster defensive moves to depth-building trades, teams made bold choices to strengthen their playoff pushes.

Conducting a three-round 2026 NFL mock draft for the New York Jets following their NFL Trade Deadline activity.

The NFL trade deadline was once a nothingburger. From 2000 through 2024, the NFL had a total of 42 deadline day deals, compared to 211 in the NBA, 499 in the NHL and 759 in MLB. The NFL, a league that made itself the main character of the American sports landscape for roughly 12 months a year, was not part of the trade deadline industrial complex.

The Miami Dolphins received plenty of phone calls, but ultimately decided to keep De’Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle.

According to Jonathan M. Alexander of The Houston Chronicle, multiple sources have confirmed that the Texans reached out to the New York Jets about the possibility of acquiring running back Breece Hall, but ultimately decided that the price would be too high.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane was reportedly the subject of multiple trade inquiries leading up to this past Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.

Naturally, the line has shifted away from the Jets, as they go from favored to 1.5-point underdogs. The main reason it didn't shift more is they play a lowly Browns team that is starting a rookie quarterback and is also among the worst teams in football this season.

How did this year's NFL trade deadline moves shake up the 2026 mock drafts? This projection has the Saints taking a big risk at QB at first overall.

A new report, a day after the NFL trade deadline, indicates that the Pittsburgh Steelers almost traded away one of their established players.

The Bears have tried going for the homerun swings in free agency, or by finding a value later in the draft. They need to invest in an edge rusher with a first-round pick, and Keldric Faulk is perfect. A unique blend of speed and power that can both rush the passer, but also stop the run.

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane leveled with everyone else that follows his team following the 2025 NFL trade deadline. Beane said he was "mad as any other fan" that he was unable to pull off a trade earlier this week when he went home when the 2025 trade deadline closed on Tuesday.
