2026 NFL trade deadline QB rankings: Mac Jones, Kirk Cousins lead 10 best targets
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 ...]

NFL Week 7 early odds: Undefeated Chiefs are underdogs, first-place Browns are favorites
Believe it or not, we're inching closer to the midway point of the 2026 regular season as Week 7 is on the horizon. The league is hot off the heels of a wildly entertaining Week 6 slate, which included some notable upsets like Cleveland taking down the Ravens to claim first place in the AFC North, as well as the Cardinals dropping the Rams to 2-4 on the year with a win at SoFi Stadium. Now, as we come down from the dramatics of the weekend, we begin looking around the corner to see what Week 7 has in store for us. The slate features five divisional matchups, headlined by Packers-Lions and Cowboys-Eagles, along with a heavyweight contest on "Sunday Night Football" between the Chiefs and Seahawks . We'll also continue to have an international flair to the week, as Sunday's action will begin in France, with the Steelers and Saints playing the first game in Paris. As we gear up for Week 7, let's take a look at the early odds for the slate and see who the oddsmakers have coming out on top. Note : Buffalo, Los Angeles ( Chargers ), Washington, and Jacksonville are on the bye in Week 7. All lines via DraftKings ; all games on Sunday unless noted Patriots at Bears (Thursday) Bears -2.5 49.5 Patriots +130, Bears -155 Steelers at Saints (in Paris) Steelers -2.5 44.5 Steelers -142, Saints +120 Colts at Vikings Vikings -6 42.5 Colts +215, Vikings -265 Bengals at Ravens Ravens -3 50.5 Bengals +150, Ravens -180 Giants at Texans Texans -9.5 43.5 Giants +370, Texans -485 Dolphins at Jets Jets -4.5 38.5 Dolphins +185, Jets -225 Browns at Titans Browns -1.5 36.5 Browns -125, Titans +105 49ers at Falcons 49ers -4.5 50.5 49ers -225, Falcons +185 Bucccaneers at Panthers Panthers -3 43.5 Buccaneers +150, Panthers -180 Broncos at Cardinals Broncos -4.5 43.5 Broncos -205, Cardinals +170 Packers at Lions Lions -3 52.5 Packers +150, Lions -180 Rams at Raiders Rams -5.5 46.5 Rams -258, Raiders +210 Chiefs at Seahawks Seahawks -2.5 42.5 Chiefs +110, Seahawks -130 Cowboys at Eagles (Monday) Cowboys -5.5 44.5 Cowboys -238, Eagles +195 The Bears have bumped up closer to a full field goal favorite as they face the Patriots at home Thursday. They're now laying 2.5 points after initially laying 1.5 points at the open. That could be thanks to Caleb Williams looking sharp in his return, as well as injuries to New England's offensive line on Sunday. Chicago is 4-2 ATS this season, which includes a 2-1 ATS mark at Soldier Field. So far this season, New England is 1-1-1 ATS on the road. The total for this game also ticked up a point to 49.5 after opening at 48.5. The Under is 7-5 between these teams this season. This is a neutral-site game and the first NFL regular-season game in Paris, France. Currently, the Steelers are favored, laying 2.5 points in this international contest. The total was also held at 44.5 at the open. Pittsburgh is 4-2 ATS this season, while the Saints are 3-3 ATS. The Over is 8-4 between them this season. The Cleveland Browns emerged from Week 6 in first place in the AFC North. They'll look to maintain their position atop the division when they roll into Nashville as a 1.5-point favorite over the Titans. Tennessee, meanwhile, will be looking to build off of its first win of the regular season after taking down the Colts in Indy. Despite the 1-5 start to the year, Tennessee is 3-3 ATS with a 1-2 ATS mark at home. The Browns are 4-2 ATS, but 1-2 ATS at home. The total for this game moved down to 36.5 after opening at 37.5. The Vikings are a 6-point favorite over the Colts after they emerge from the Week 6 bye. That's up from the 5.5-point spread at the open. Minnesota is 4-1 ATS this season, but 1-1 ATS at home. Indianapolis is 1-1 ATS on the road so far this season. Meanwhile, the total dropped to 42.5 after opening at 43.5. The Under is 4-1 in Vikings games this season. New York dropped to 2-4 on the season with a loss to New England on Sunday, but is still a 4.5-point favorite [... truncated ...]

The Pats have rediscovered the groove which had them as AFC champs a year ago, with back-to-back wins over Buffalo and Vegas. New England has increased its passing yardage every game this year, with 371 on Sunday versus a Raiders team that had allowed just 202.8 passing yards through its first four games. The Patriots have covered in three straight matchups with the Jets, with a 16-point average margin of victory. New York's 27th-ranked scoring offense won't be able to keep it within a touchdown as New England covers well over 50% of the time. See which other teams to pick here . Another one of its Week 6 NFL predictions: the Cardinals (+12.5, 52.5) cover at the Rams at 4:05 p.m. ET. Arizona is forecasted to cover the spread in well over 50% of simulations and continue its success as a road dog. The Cards are 11-5 ATS as an away underdog since 2024 -- including 2-0 this season -- with that 69% cover rate the third-best record over that span. Arizona had a season-high of three passing scores this past Sunday -- as losing Marvin Harrison Jr. may be addition by subtraction -- and it gets to face a Rams squad off a short week. Also, Los Angeles has a minus-five turnover differential, which is third worst in the NFL and should allow the Cardinals extra possessions to stay within this massive number. The model also has the Under hitting well over 50% of the time. See which other teams to pick here . The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other game on the Week 6 NFL schedule and just revealed five teams who outright win in over 70% of simulations, potentially giving you a huge payday.

The Giants' trade for J.J. McCarthy makes no sense -- for more reasons than one
The New York Giants have found their new quarterback to pair with Jameis Winston , as Joe Schoen sent a fifth-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for former No. 10 overall selection J.J. McCarthy . If you were confused or surprised by this, you're not alone. This trade doesn't make sense -- in more ways than one. We knew that McCarthy was on the Giants' list. Not only is there a Harbaugh connection, as John's brother coached McCarthy during his successful career at Michigan, but ESPN reported that he was on New York's short list that included Jimmy Garoppolo , Arizona Cardinals backup Gardner Minshew , San Francisco 49ers backup Mac Jones and Kansas City Chiefs backup Justin Fields . Maybe McCarthy isn't the worst quarterback on that list, but trading for him maybe makes the least sense out of all those options. The Giants have a prospective franchise quarterback in the injured Jaxson Dart -- unless you want to argue this move means the Giants are interested in McCarthy as their long-term signal-caller. Then, the Giants have one of the better backup quarterbacks in the NFL in Winston. I'm not claiming this fun-loving walking quote is Nick Foles , but he's better than many of the second-stringers out there. So, is McCarthy an upgrade over him? Or did the Giants throw away a fifth-round pick for another backup? "Really happy, very excited to add J.J. McCarthy," Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday. "Think he's a strong young quarterback. Has some experience in National Football League. Obviously, was a very high draft pick, very talented player, and is going to make us a stronger football team. So excited about it. Think it makes us better and get him in here as soon as we can, get to work on learning the offense. Obviously, that's going to be a challenge. But we'll go to work on that, and that's where we're at." Is McCarthy really going to make this a "stronger football team?" Was this swing even worth it? Let's examine why this trade was confusing. I don't have to prove that McCarthy has struggled through his first three NFL seasons. He famously lost the Vikings quarterback battle to Kyler Murray this offseason, and was demoted to QB3 behind Carson Wentz . In his one season as the starter for the Vikings, McCarthy went 6-4 in a year where Minnesota finished 9-8. That's a pretty decent win-loss record, but McCarthy became the only first-round pick at quarterback since 1970 to finish last in completion percentage and TD-INT ratio in their debut season. It's true that every young quarterback needs some time to develop. After all, it was Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell that once said, "Organizations fail young quarterbacks before young quarterbacks fail organizations." However, his tune changed when it was the quarterback holding the rest of the team back. Minnesota had a top three defense in 2025 and a talented supporting cast headlined by Justin Jefferson . It's understood why O'Connell elected for a change. Completion percentage 57.6% Passing yards per game 163.2 TD-INT 11-12 McCarthy is still learning the position, but now he's going to be asked to enter a new building, learn a new system and make a legitimate impact in the next few months? Is he even an upgrade over Winston? That's definitely not a given. No one is claiming that McCarthy's NFL career is over, but he's in some dangerous company right now. According to the Elias Sports Bureau , McCarthy is just the fourth first-round quarterback over the past quarter century to start 10 or fewer games for the team that drafted them. The others are bona fide busts in Paxton Lynch , Trey Lance and Johnny Manziel . Lynch and Manziel were never traded for, while the Dallas Cowboys made the baffling decision to trade a fourth-round pick to the 49ers for Lance in 2023. He ended up making just one start for the team, so Jerry Jones probably regrets that trade. Here's the real reason the trade doesn't make sense to me. I would imagine the ideal l [... truncated ...]
