NFL trade deadline LIVE: Latest deals, rumours and news as Detroit Lions land Za’Darius Smith and Khalil Herbert heads to the Cincinnati Bengals

Norv Turner, the former head coach of the Raiders, is going back to Las Vegas to join their offensive staff.

His son, Scott Turner, is also on the Raiders coaching staff.

The added benefit of pushing back the trade deadline is that it could incentivize more teams to make moves – which would spice up what is typically a boring affair.

The Athletic conducted an analysis of the trade deadlines of the four major leagues and how many trades have been made on Deadline Day since 2000.

MLB led the way with 759 deals, the NHL has seen 499 trades, and the NBA has swapped 211 players.

With the Titans struggling, they may look to move two key defensive players

The Carolina Panthers are sellers. That’s not a surprise considering they’re in the hunt for the first overall pick… again.

On the outside, trading the guy that they picked 39th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft feels a little premature as he could have blossomed into a great piece to build around Bryce Young (or another quarterback they may choose to draft this year if the Panthers are truly done with Young).

But Mingo has struggled in his transition to the NFL. He has under 550 receiving yards in his career and has never caught a pass for a touchdown. This season, he

This could eventually be a good move for Dallas (emphasis on “could”) – who have been begging for wide receiver help [their WR2 is Jalen Tolbert, WR3 is Jalen Brooks]. But it’s hard to tell if this fresh start will be truly helpful to him this season – especially with quarterback Dak Prescott reportedly heading for the IR.

Mingo has the raw talent to develop into something great, but the fact that the Panthers got a fourth-round pick for him will likely lead many to declare that Carolina fleeced Dallas. He’s still on his rookie deal, which makes him a free agent in 2027.

The pass catcher was traded to Kansas City from the Tennessee Titans and broke out a dance evoking the movie “Remember the Titans” when he scored a touchdown over the weekend.

Hopkins now clarifies that this was an homage to his former team.

Bengals owner Mike Brown is notorious for being stingey at the trade deadline. With one move already done, could we see another today?

• Carolina Panthers: WR Adam Thielen
• Cincinnati Bengals: WR Tee Higgins, DE Trey Hendrickson
• Cleveland Browns: DE Myles Garrett, TE David Njoku
• Jacksonville Jaguars: OL Brandon Scherff
• LA Rams: WR Cooper Kupp, QB Matthew Stafford
• Las Vegas Raiders: DE Maxx Crosby
• New England Patriots: WR K.J. Osbourne, WR Kendrick Bourne, CB Jonathan Jones
• New Orleans Saints: DE Chase Young
• New York Giants: OLB Azeez Ojulari, WR Darius Slayton
• New York Jets: WR Mike Williams
• Tennessee Titans: OLB Arden Key

Now, some of you may be wondering “why does it feel like the NFL trade deadline is later this year?” That’s because you’re right! They did change the deadline very slightly this season.

Before the season began, back during the March annual meetings, the league decided to move the deadline back one week – to Week 9 rather than Week 8.

What that does is help teams who may feel like they’re still in the race for the playoffs (and beyond) with more time to make decisions on pieces to their puzzle. It also aligns with other leagues (the NBA and NHL specifically) whose deadlines are closer to when their seasons end.

Now, all that remains is if the new NFL Trade Deadline provides the same level of excitement as the NBA and NHL ones do.

The Cincinnati running back room looked very different this season as compared to the one prior.

Out went star Joe Mixon and reliable backup Samaje Perine, in came rookie Chase Brown and Zack Moss – who is currently injured.

Herbert has over 1,700 career rushing yards and has played in Chicago his entire career after playing college ball at Kansas, then Virginia Tech.

TRADE: The Chicago Bears send running back Khalil Herbert to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick, as confirmed by the team.

Ever since losing Aidan Hutchinson to a season ending leg fracture, the Detroit Lions have been looking for a pass rusher.

Enter Za’Darius Smith from the struggling Cleveland Browns.He’s already got five sacks this season and will compliment James Houston by playing on the right side of the defensive line.

At a return of just a fifth and a sixth rounder (Smith’s deal expires at the end of this season) this is a great rental piece for a Lions team with Super Bowl aspirations.

TRADE: Cleveland Browns send Za’Darius Smith and a 2026 7th round pick to the Detroit Lions in exchange for a 2025 5th round pick, as confirmed by DailyMail.com. The Lions will take on the remaining $605,000 in his contract.

It might be the second most important thing going on in the United States today, but it’s certainly worth covering.
