Oct. 15
The Minnesota Vikings have acquired running back Cam Akers for the second time in 12 months, this time from the Houston Texans in an exchange of 2026 conditional draft choices, the team confirmed Tuesday. The Vikings will send a conditional 2026 sixth-round draft pick to the Texans in exchange for a conditional 2026 seventh-round draft pick.
The Buffalo Bills acquired Amari Cooper in a trade Tuesday with the Cleveland Browns, adding a true No. 1 wide receiver for star quarterback Josh Allen. The Bills received Cooper and a 2025 sixth-round draft pick for a 2025 third-round pick and a seventh-round selection in 2026.
The New York Jets are expected to finalize a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders for wide receiver Davante Adams, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It will be for a conditional third-round pick that can turn into a second-round pick, per sources. And the Raiders are not paying any of Adams’ remaining salary; the Jets will be assuming the balance of it.
Oct. 14
The Seattle Seahawks are acquiring defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, a source confirmed to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Seattle is giving up a 2026 sixth-round pick.
Robertson-Harris, 31, gives the Seahawks a reinforcement for a defense that has been short-handed over the past three weeks and has struggled against the run.
Oct. 2
Carolina wide receiver Diontae Johnson has come up in trade speculation as a potential fit for teams like the Chiefs, but Carolina coach Dave Canales doesn’t “see that happening.”
Johnson, 28, is in the last year of a two-year, $36,710,000 deal he signed while in Pittsburgh, fueling speculation that Carolina (1-3) would trade Johnson before the Nov. 5 trade deadline for value instead of risking losing him in free agency.
