​With just one week left until the 2026 NFL trade deadline, texts and calls are bouncing from front office to front office.Multiple landscape-shifting trends have already materialized. The Chicago Bears’ trade of two first-round draft picks for defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons is the richest and perhaps highest-ceiling move. The New York Giants’ fifth-round pick for now-starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy may net the best value.Since the season’s start, the Houston Texans have traded for receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., the Dallas Cowboys have traded for cornerback Joey Porter Jr., the Seattle Seahawks have traded for left guard Quenton Nelson and the San Francisco 49ers have traded for defensive tackle DeForest Buckner.Who could be next?Yahoo Sports spoke with NFL general managers, salary-cap executives, personnel evaluators and more to take a pulse of the trade deadline landscape. All were granted anonymity due to the competitive implications of the intel. The summary: Expect more moves during the next week. But also consider the average impact of most moves (we’re not looking at you, Bears) more conservatively than initial hype may dictate.“Usually if you’re looking at this time of year, a real need, you’re probably not filling it,” a high-ranking NFC executive said by phone Tuesday. “You might be solidifying it. I call it, patching a leak. … You might not have planned for the Colts to be in a spiral and now their guard who is going to be a UFA, but he comes available. “Relax and just see if there’s any opportunities.”An executive from a second NFC team explained they’re “always willing to make moves … if the price is right.” But how often is it?“Unless you’re paying up for this stud, do any of these deals really make sense when prices are kind of flying all over the place?” the executive told Yahoo Sports. “That, to me, is never really where the best deals get made. … But if there’s a [deal] that’s available that feels too good to be true or the other way around, you get an offer you can’t refuse? “I think obviously you have to come into that with eyes wide open.”Is Jags’ Brian Thomas Jr. ‘going to be better for the second team’?It’s easy to draw parallels between Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and Houston Texans receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. That begs the question: Will any team pay for Thomas the second-round draft pick (slightly discounted with a seventh/sixth-round swap) that the Texans paid the Arizona Cardinals for Harrison?The Jaguars selected Thomas 23rd overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, 19 picks after the Cardinals selected Harrison the same year. Thomas’ career peak thus far was higher, with 87 catches for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie to Harrison’s 62 catches for 885 yards and eight touchdowns the same year. Each player’s production and catch percentage have fallen since, and Houston banked on a reunion with Harrison’s college quarterback, C.J. Str
