Some team executives are wondering why the #Colts were in such a rush to trade Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner today with the trade deadline still two weeks away. Nelson and Buckner were, in the eyes of some, the top G and DT available on this year’s trade market. The interest — and potentially the value — for both players likely would have increased as the deadline approached and teams entered “now-or-never” mode. There’s a strong argument that the Colts could’ve gotten more.

The #Colts are trading 3x Pro Bowl DT DeForest Buckner to the #49ers for a 4th-round pick. Buckner was drafted by the 49ers as a 1st-round pick in 2016 and is now going back to SF.

The #Seahawks are set to receive a 3rd-round pick for losing Nolan Teasley, who became the #Vikings’ GM. That gives Seattle an extra 3rd-rounder, so giving up a 3rd for Quenton Nelson is a bit easier. They’re also expected to receive four compensatory picks in the 2027 draft for losing Kenneth Walker, Tariq Woolen, Kobe Bryant, and Boye Mafe in free agency. Seattle might not be done. They are loaded with picks.

BREAKING: The #Colts are trading 8× Pro Bowl G Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, per @AdamSchefter. Nelson, one of the best guards in football, joins a 4-3 #Seahawks team in a major trade.

A very honest answer from #Ravens HC Jesse Minter on player leadership when things are snowballing: “We have guys that care and want to do it right, but there are also moments in the game where it’s like, ‘Who’s the guy that’s going to grab everybody and get them together on the sideline?’ I think, as a team, we’re working through who that is. Who is that person? Who are those players? … I think there are moments where we need a little bit more.”

#Jets HC Aaron Glenn was asked today about the viral stat that New York has been outscored 107-6 in the final two minutes of the first half under his watch: “We're trying. We do a two-minute jog through on Wednesday and then we come back and we have a live two-minute on Thursday and then we have another two-minute on Saturday. So, it's not like we're not trying to get that done.”

#Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker, who dealt with a pulmonary embolism with blood clots in both lungs in high school, was asked about Jalen Hurts today: "He went on the flight, huh? And everything? Yeah, that's crazy. Just stay positive."

#Bears starting G Jonah Jackson, who suffered a hip injury on Sunday, has gutted through it and will play tomorrow night vs. the Patriots.

The #Giants have released RB Najee Harris.

BREAKING: #Colts have fired GM Chris Ballard.

The #Rams running this play on 4th and 8 and on the verge of losing to the #Cardinals is blowing my mind. What. The. Heck.
