What happened: Arizona has told interested teams it is not planning to trade Josh Sweat. A midseason move could resurface if circumstances change before the Nov. 10 deadline.

Why it matters: Sweat’s status remains consequential for Arizona after his Aug. 24 activation from PUP. Keeping him preserves a key edge defender as the season begins.

What to watch: Arizona opens the 2026 season Sept. 13. Sweat’s role and the team’s early results will shape whether trade interest returns.
