NFL Transactions: Trades, Backup QB Landing Spots, and More

Four trades occurred within 24 hours, involving players like Skyy Moore and Devaughn Vele.

The Jets were particularly active, acquiring Harrison Phillips and Jowon Briggs in separate deals.

Potential landing spots for backup QBs like Jameis Winston and Anthony Richardson are being discussed.

The Broncos traded Devaughn Vele to the Saints for draft picks to trim their WR room.

Skyy Moore (WR) to 49ers:: The 49ers acquired Moore from the Chiefs for a 2027 sixth-round pick, while the Chiefs received a 2027 seventh-round pick. This is a low-risk gamble for the 49ers, who are looking to add depth to their receiving corps.

Devaughn Vele (WR) to Saints:: The Saints obtained Vele from the Broncos in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick. At 6-foot-5, Vele provides a tall target for the Saints' quarterbacks. Sean Payton indicated the trade was influenced by the progression of Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant, creating a crowded receiver room in Denver.

Harrison Phillips (DT) to Jets:: The Jets bolstered their defensive line by acquiring Phillips from the Vikings, along with a 2027 seventh-round pick, in exchange for 2026 and 2027 sixth-round picks.

Jowon Briggs (DT) to Jets:: In another move, the Jets acquired Briggs from the Browns for a 2026 sixth-round pick.

Jameis Winston:: Could be traded to the Vikings, who need a reliable backup for J.J. McCarthy. Sam Howell's lackluster preseason performance has raised concerns about the Vikings' QB depth.

Kenny Pickett:: A potential fit for the Cowboys, who may seek a more experienced backup than Joe Milton III.

Anthony Richardson:: If the Colts decide to move on, potential destinations include the Ravens and Rams. The Ravens have a history of developing dual-threat quarterbacks, while Sean McVay has a track record of maximizing quarterback potential.

Andy Reid Incident:: In May 2024, a bullet was fired into Andy Reid's office at the Chiefs' practice facility. Fortunately, Reid was unharmed, and security has since been increased.

Urban Meyer on Jim Harbaugh:: Former NFL coach Urban Meyer believes Jim Harbaugh should be suspended by the NFL due to NCAA infractions committed while at Michigan.

Broncos' WR Room:: Sean Payton explained that the Devaughn Vele trade was a matter of numbers, with the team needing to narrow down its receiver room. The emergence of Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant influenced the decision.

Kicking Battles:: The Panthers and Patriots are closely watching their kicking competitions to determine who will win the job.

Cornerback Battles:: The Giants are evaluating their cornerbacks, with Deonte Banks battling Cor'Dale Flott for a starting role.
