Updated November 12, 2026
The 2026 NFL trade deadline passed at 4:00 p.m. ET (1:00 p.m. PT) on Tuesday, November 10. NFL.com's trade tracker lists 17 completed trades from the start of the regular season on September 9 through the cutoff, and 10 of them came in the final five days. This page lists every one of those trades as NFL.com records them, separates them from two deals that were agreed to and then fell apart, and explains what teams can still do now that trading is closed. The list was read on the morning of Thursday, November 12, Pacific time.
When Trading Closed for 2026
The league's 2026-27 important dates calendar sets the rule in one line: "All trading ends for 2026 at 4:00 p.m., New York time" on November 10. Trading for 2027 opens at 4:00 p.m. ET on March 11, 2027, per the same calendar. Our explainer on how the NFL trade deadline works covers why the cutoff sits after Week 9 and what counts as a completed trade.
One day later, on November 11, a second calendar rule kicked in. Released veterans with at least four pension-credited seasons now go through waivers for the rest of the season, which changes how teams can fill holes from here on.
Trades Confirmed on Deadline Day, November 10
NFL.com lists five trades dated November 10. In each case, the first team listed received the player.
- Ravens get C Ryan Neuzil from the Falcons. Atlanta receives OL Andrew Vorhees and a 2028 sixth-round pick.
- Chiefs get WR Josh Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Colts. Indianapolis receives 2027 fourth- and fifth-round picks.
- Vikings get QB Kirk Cousins from the Raiders. Las Vegas receives a 2027 third-round pick. NFL.com's tracker headline describes it as the Vikings bringing Cousins back.
- Bills get S Amani Hooker and a 2027 fifth-round pick from the Titans. Tennessee receives a 2027 second-round pick. NFL.com describes Hooker as the league's interception leader at the time of the trade.
- 49ers get WR Keenan Allen from the Colts. Indianapolis receives a 2027 sixth-round pick.
Indianapolis sent away two receivers on deadline day after trading DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson on October 27. Running back Jonathan Taylor does not appear on NFL.com's tracker. FOX Sports' deadline live blog reported that the Colts kept him.
The Final Weekend: November 6 and 9
Five more trades landed between Friday and Monday. Four of them came on Monday, November 9, and three of those were made by Jacksonville.
- Jaguars get DT Jordan Davis from the Eagles for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.
- Jaguars get DT Davon Godchaux from the Saints for a 2028 conditional sixth-round pick.
- Jaguars get S Jessie Bates from the Falcons for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.
- Lions get S Andre Cisco from the Jets for a 2028 sixth-round pick.
- Ravens get QB Jacoby Brissett and a 2027 fifth-round pick from the Cardinals (dated November 6) for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick. NFL.com ties the move to injuries to Baltimore's other quarterbacks.
One date note: the tracker dates the Davis and Bates deals November 9, while the NFL.com transactions page logs both on November 10. The terms are the same in both places.
Earlier 2026 Trades, September Through October
Seven trades came before deadline week. We covered several of them when they happened.
- September 28: Giants get QB J.J. McCarthy from the Vikings for a 2027 fifth-round pick. NFL.com's headline ties it to an injury to Jaxson Dart.
- October 1: Cowboys get CB Joey Porter Jr. from the Steelers for a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick.
- October 7: Ravens get C Cam Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Eagles for a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick.
- October 12: Texans get WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and a 2027 sixth-round pick from the Cardinals for 2027 second- and seventh-round picks.
- October 27: Seahawks get G Quenton Nelson from the Colts for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. Our Quenton Nelson trade breakdown has the details.
- October 27: 49ers get DL DeForest Buckner from the Colts for a 2027 fourth-round pick.
- October 29: Bears get DT Jeffery Simmons and a 2028 fifth-round pick from the Titans for 2027 and 2028 first-round picks plus a 2027 fourth-round pick. Our Jeffery Simmons trade recap covers what Chicago gave up.
Tennessee made two of the bigger pick hauls of the season: two first-round picks from Chicago for Simmons and a 2027 second-rounder from Buffalo for Hooker, per the tracker's terms.
Deals That Were Agreed and Then Called Off
Two trades were reported as agreed on deadline day and never completed.
Daiyan Henley, Chargers to Broncos. Denver announced late Wednesday night, November 11, that the trade for the Chargers linebacker would not be finalized. "The proposed trade involving Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley will not be finalized," the team said, per NFL.com's report on the called-off trade. The deal was pending a physical and would have sent a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to Los Angeles. It does not appear on NFL.com's tracker.
Arnold Ebiketie, Eagles to Bengals. Cincinnati and Philadelphia had reportedly agreed to a trade for a 2027 sixth-round pick. The Bengals backed out because completing it would have cost them a third-round compensatory pick, according to NFL.com's story on the nixed Ebiketie deal. Head coach Zac Taylor said of the decision, "It was on our end."
Other names that came up in trade talk, including Khalil Mack in Los Angeles, do not appear on NFL.com's list of completed trades.
What Teams Can Still Do Now
With trading closed, teams can still change their rosters in three main ways:
- Waiver claims. Players released by other teams can be claimed in waiver priority order. Since November 11, that includes vested veterans, which our explainer on why veterans go on waivers after November 11 walks through.
- Free agent signings. Players who clear waivers, or who were never under contract this season, can sign with any team.
- Practice squad moves. Teams can sign players to their practice squads, elevate them for games, or sign them to the active roster.
Draft picks acquired this season cannot be traded again until the 2027 trading period opens. For Henley, the Broncos' statement says only that the trade will not be finalized.
