Really surprised Colts didn't move Taylor. They need a major overhaul which is a couple seasons away at the earliest. By then Taylor is hitting 30 & had nearly 1000 carries coming into the NFL.
"Middle of last week, I was being told, 'They're not trading him. Not gonna happen because no one is gonna offer a 1.'" — @JayGlazer on the Jonathan Taylor non-trade.

My guy, @JayGlazer, is shedding light on what a lot of GMs and coaches are discussing regarding the draft and top picks. At a time when it’s harder to find guys who “love” the game, teams prefer established players whom they know personally or through their connections (ex-teammates with current players or players who’ve been coached or recruited by staffers). Although draft picks are still valuable, more teams are prioritizing culture and character over pure talent. Team building is more art than science #NFL

#Packers HC Matt LaFleur on the Raiders trading QB Kirk Cousins to the Vikings:
"I was surprised they didn't get more for him, quite honestly. I was shocked when I saw what they traded him for. It was mind-blowing to me."
Sounds like terrible negotiation by Spytek to me
Per @Schultz_Report the #Raiders asked for a 2nd round pick, got rejected, then asked for the 3rd rounder Minnesota got from Philly, before settling on the Vikings’ 3rd round pick in exchange for Kirk Cousins.
So they tried, but the reality is that the market wasn’t better than a 3 for the 38-year old QB
To not have an expectation that a trade for Cousins may occur before the trade today is a lack of preparedness on Spytek.
Raiders GM John Spytek said he did not have any conversations with Kirk Cousins before today about being traded because "there was nothing to speak about."
"We didn't have any expectation that this was coming."
Said he and Klint Kubiak talked him through the trade before they made the decision today.
"I think we owed him that respect. It wasn't the easiest conversation that I think either of us have ever had, but it was a very productive conversation."

So the #Chargers won’t trade Khalil Mack, but they’ll trade their 27 year old starting LB to a division rival?
What a ridiculously run team

Late 3rd round pick for a QB 2nd in the league in TD passes and under contract next year as well.
Excellent deal for the Vikings. Was expecting the Raiders would get more than that.
Would have waited right up to the deadline since they had the leverage.

Two things can be true.
I can’t wait for Fernando and it is exciting to watch his growth the rest of the season
Also, I don’t care about a 3rd round pick next year.
NZ Raiders retweeted
Yes.
Absolutely.
The Seahawks had the best Defense in the NFL last year, and won the Super Bowl
The Vikings have the best Defense in the NFL this year
Kevin O’Connell only needs Kirk Cousins to play as well as Sam Darnold.
My prediction: Vikings trade for DJ because the asking price is less than Cousins. DJ makes zero difference on O because he is completely washed & the Vikings completely waste a dominant D then watch Flores leave at the end of the season.
Developing: The #Vikings have begun making calls around the league about trading for a quarterback ahead of today’s 4 pm ET deadline, per @AdamSchefter and me.

KOC is just like Gruden. He has been given the label as a "QB Guru" despite never actually developing a young QB.
All Pro returner
RB Dylan Laube (@dylan_laube) breaks free for a 54-yard kickoff return.
He now has 4 kickoff returns of 50+ yards in 2026. No other player in the #NFL has more than 1.

The Raiders have now tied a modern NFL record by giving up 30-plus points in six straight weeks within a single season.
