Winners and losers after ending the losing streak
The 2026 NFL trade deadline is fast approaching, and already some major deals have come down across the league. For instance, the Chicago Bears just made a blockbuster trade, sending multiple picks (including two first-rounders) to the Tennessee Titans for star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons . The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks also landed All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson in a trade with Indianapolis. Those deals may have been the first, but there will certainly be more before the Nov. 10 deadline. Most of the conversation surrounding the deadline has largely centered around pass rushers, running backs and wide receivers. That said, the quarterback market could also heat up as a few teams across the NFL could be on the hunt for a signal caller. That includes both the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles , who each lost their starting quarterbacks. Then, there's the Minnesota Vikings , who could also eye an upgrade at the position with Kyler Murray struggling despite the team's 6-1 start to the year. With that in mind, we combed the market and identified 10 veteran quarterbacks who could be available for the right price on the trade market. Milton is on the active roster of the Eagles after he was signed off of the Cowboys practice squad. He's backing up starter Tanner McKee , who ascended the depth chart in the wake of Jalen Hurts being put on the shelf with blood clots in his lungs. While Philadelphia would lose some depth at the position, Howie Roseman could see shipping away Milton as an opportunity to continue gaining future draft capital, albeit in the Day 3 range. The 26-year-old was a sixth-round pick of the Patriots in 2024 out of Tennessee and spent his rookie season in New England before he was traded to Dallas in the spring of 2025. He's appeared in five games over the course of his career (one start) and has completed 69.8% of his passes for a 90.4 career passer rating. Milton is still raw, but has ability that could make him an intriguing addition. Keenum has started games this year for Chicago, so while he may be 38, he has recent starting experience that could be useful for a team looking for a QB. After Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent got hurt for the Bears earlier this year, Keenum started the club's Week 3 matchup against Philadelphia and impressed. He completed 24-of-34 (70.6%) for 247 yards and two touchdowns, while adding another score on the ground in a 27-7 win over the Eagles. Keenum also saw some action in Week 5, but the results were not as prolific, completing 11-of-19 for 108 yards and an interception. Still, he's shown an ability to come in and play at a serviceable level, which is really all you can ask for at this time of the year when searching for a quarterback. Dalton is another notable name who could be had, as he's in a crowded quarterback room with the Atlanta Falcons . The 39-year-old began the year with the Philadelphia Eagles, but was released by the team on Oct. 9. He then signed on with the Falcons, who released Cooper Rush to make room for him on the roster. Dalton is currently in a quarterback room that consists of starter Michael Penix Jr. , Tua Tagovailoa , and undrafted rookie Jack Strand . Dalton made a brief appearance in the Eagles' Week 3 loss to the Bears, attempting one pass that was intercepted. While that doesn't exactly instill a ton of confidence, Dalton is a seasoned veteran who has 16 years and 169 career starts under his belt. The Colts are blowing it up. They already traded away Nelson and DeForest Buckner , and Jonathan Taylor seems like he could be next if the price is right. If Indy is willing to move that caliber of player, trading Anthony Richardson for any sort of return should be on the table even after benching Daniel Jones late in the Week 8 loss to Jacksonville. Richardson has been a bust so far for the Colts after they selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Florida. The 24-year-old is 8-7 as a sta [... truncated ...]
Cousins praises Bowers’ play, likening him to elite WR Jefferson and noting the coaching emphasis on throwing to covered targets
Vikings lose undefeated streak to Lions
The Dolphins picked up their first win of the 2026 season against the Jets at MetLife Stadium in Week 7 and the Raiders found it to be a hospitable place to play in Week 8. Kirk Cousins threw three touchdowns and ran for another as the Raiders ended their four-game losing streak with a 38-33 win over the Jets. The victory bumps their record to 4-4 ahead of a Week 9 trip to face the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium. Cousins’s third touchdown pass of the day went to Jalen Nailor with 11:33 left to play in the game and it put the Raiders up 35-30 after they trailed by nine points at halftime. They allowed the Jets to drive the ball to their 13, but their defense was able to come up with a stop that led to Jason Sanders’s fourth field goal of the day. Raiders running back Mike Washington ran for one first down and the Jets used all their timeouts before a Cousins sneak on third down gave them another one at the two minute warning. The Jets were able to stop the Raiders on the next third down and Matt Gay hit a 53-yard field goal with 27 seconds left to play. The Jets got the ball back and a penalty on a Garrett Wilson catch got them into Raiders territory, but Smith chucked one into the end zone from the 35-yard-line and it was picked off by Jeremy Chinn to the end the game. Sanders’s first two kicks also came on Jets drives that got the ball into the red zone and the failure to score touchdowns haunted the Jets a day after Halloween. They churned up 424 yards and scored on their first six possessions, but settling for field goals and a defense that lived down to Ashton Jeanty’s slam of them got them beat on Sunday. Jeanty was little more than a third-down back for the Raiders, but he did have a 45-yard catch to set up one touchdown. Washington ran 25 times for 83 yards and the Brock Bowers/Michael Mayer tight end combo had 12 catches for 145 yards. Two of Bowers’s catches went for touchdowns and Cousins was 19-of-26 for 247 yards on the afternoon. The Raiders scored on six of their nine full possessions and they also got a 95-yard kickoff return from Dylan Laube on their way to the win. The Jets’ defensive shortcomings crushed them on a day when Braelon Allen, Adonai Mitchell, and Garrett Wilson all had big days against an overmatched Raiders defense. There’s a lot to like about the amount of talent on the offensive side of the ball for the Jets, but Aaron Glenn’s defensive acumen is creating no reason to believe he’s the right man for the job. The Jets fell to 2-6 with the loss and they will be in Kansas City next Sunday
Defense has been lacking for both teams at MetLife Stadium and the Raiders have taken advantage of the Jets’ shortcomings to move back into the lead. Kirk Cousins hit wide receiver Jalen Nailor for a two-yard score with 11:33 left to play and the Raiders now lead the Jets 35-30. It’s the first time the Raiders have been in front since early in the second quarter. Cousins has now completed three touchdown passes on the day and he has run for another score. Cousins’s biggest passing play on the drive came on a short pass to running back Ashton Jeanty, who stumbled and got up without being touched on his way to a 45-yard gain. The Jets scored on their first six possessions, but punted after a penalty and a sack left them with a second-and-27 on their last possession. They’ll need to get back into their offensive groove to avoid a third straight loss

The Jets couldn’t punch the ball into the end zone on their first drive of Sunday’s game against the Raiders, but their visitors from Las Vegas had more success. Kirk Cousins dropped a 12-yard pass into the hands of tight end Brock Bowers for a touchdown that put the road team up 7-3 with just over seven minutes to play in the first quarter. The drive covered 60 yards in just over five minutes. The Jets opened the game with a 31-yard pass to Garrett Wilson and then got back-to-back 15-yard runs by Braelon Allen to move inside the Raiders’ 5-yard-line, but a negative run and a pair of incompletions forced them to settle for a Jason Sanders field goal. Bowers also had a 23-yard catch on the Raiders’ opening drive and Jalen Nailor had a pair of catches for 24 yards

Brock Bowers scored his first multi-touchdown day of the season with 7 catches for 92 yards and 2 scores
The Las Vegas Raiders will continue to play quarterback Kirk Cousins "as long as possible," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. While there has been some chatter about the transition plan to No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza in recent weeks, it doesn't sound like the Raiders are ready to make a quarterback move. Vegas opened the season 3-0 but now finds itself in the midst of a four-game losing streak. However, Schefter reports that the Raiders don't believe Cousins is responsible for their latest woes. The 38-year-old has impressed to the tune of 1,877 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and just five interceptions this season, although some of those positive statistics did come during garbage time. Still, the veteran quarterback has the team in a decent spot ahead of the midway point of the 2026 season, and we should expect to see him leading the offense for the foreseeable future while Mendoza continues to develop and watch from the sideline
