NFL Trade Rumors NFL Trade Rumors

Commanders

  • Commanders HC Dan Quinn said the team will go through a final medical meeting and consider all opinions on QB Jayden Daniels‘ dislocated elbow to make a decision later this week. (Jones)
  • Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, there’s no sense that Daniels’ injury is season-ending, but it’s still being determined how much time he’ll miss and if a stint on injured reserve is necessary.
  • Fowler adds that from there, the trajectory of Washington’s season is a factor, as once the team is eliminated, there’s no reason to risk further injury to the franchise quarterback.

Cowboys

Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer shared his excitement over the team’s deadline trades for DT Quinnen Williams and LB Logan Wilson.

“It’s exciting,” Schottenheimer said, via Pro Football Talk. “Kudos to Jerry [Jones] and Stephen [Jones], Will [McClay], being aggressive but then smart. A couple of moves we made, you’re getting guys not just for this year but beyond, which I think is great. . . . I think it’s two terrific players, but also terrific young men…They’ll both be coming through here for physicals, and we’ll get them the things they need, the iPads and things like that, but they’re both veteran players. They’ve both played a lot of football. . . . But we’ll get them up to speed, and both guys I think should be fast learners and pick it up pretty quick. You should expect to see them make a fast transition.”

  • ESPN’s Dan Graziano says at one point he heard the Jets were in talks to send both brothers, DT Quinnen Williams and LB Quincy Williams, to the Cowboys, but talks fell through for the latter, and Dallas pivoted to trading for Bengals LB Logan Wilson.
  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says other teams that talked to the Bengals got the sense they would have traded DE Trey Hendrickson for a second-round pick, but ultimately they stood pat. Fowler adds the Cowboys inquired but thought the asking price was too rich.

Eagles

Eagles GM Howie Roseman told reporters that the trade for former Packers and Ravens CB Jaire Alexander is a risky one that could turn out to be rewarding.

“I remember when he signed in June with Baltimore, thinking what a great signing by them,” Roseman said, via Pro Football Talk. *“It didn’t work out the way that he wanted or that they wanted or he wouldn’t have been available to us. But the relationship we have with Baltimore, being able to have honest conversations and understanding what he went through a little bit in training camp and getting back to health, [he] obviously missed a lot of time last year. Then just really doing a deep dive on him and how successful he’s been, what we thought of him last year when we were in Brazil playing them, and then for the first part of the year. Then, having [passing game coordinator/defensive backs coach Christian Parker] who’s with him and getting to know...
