What happened: Speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport pointed to pass rusher Khalil Mack, wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who recently surfaced as a trade fit following the DeForest Buckner deal, and running back Jonathan Taylor as names to watch before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Mack, Thomas, and Taylor headline trade discussions as front offices evaluate roster moves entering Week 8.

Why it matters: Acquiring the 27-year-old Taylor requires taking on $34 million owed across the 2027 and 2028 seasons from an Indianapolis squad sitting at 2-5 with a 7% playoff probability per DVOA. Meanwhile, Los Angeles sits winless at 0-6 as prospective buyers weigh the cost of adding veteran pass-rush or skill-position help for the second-half push.

What to watch: Week 8 results across the league will determine seller leverage before the NFL trade window closes on Nov. 10.
