What happened: Tom Pelissero broke Monday's deal sending Kayshon Boutte to Houston for Jaylen Reed and a 2028 seventh-round pick. He beat Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport to the news.

Why it matters: The scoop came barely a month after ESPN cut Pelissero while retaining Schefter and Rapoport. Pelissero has since joined The Ringer and Netflix Sports, creating new competition for NFL news.

What to watch: The next major transaction will offer another test of the reshaped NFL newsrooms.
