What happened: FOX Sports published a league-wide look at potential NFL trade-deadline movement. The focus is which veterans could shake loose as the standings sort contenders from sellers.

Why it matters: Deadline deals can reset depth charts for the November push without waiting for free agency. Sellers can bank draft picks while buyers fill a starting gap at lower acquisition cost than the offseason.

What to watch: Watch which teams losing ground commit to selling in the coming days. The first confirmed moves will set prices for the rest of the market.
