Jaguars' trades for Bates and Davis could sway NFL deadline
The Jacksonville Jaguars completed trades for All-Pro safety Jessie Bates III and defensive tackle Jordan Davis, surrendering multiple draft picks, a move that could shape other clubs' decisions before the 4 p. m. ET deadline on November 10.
Earlier in the week, analysts outlined ten possible trade scenarios and CBS Sports ranked twenty players with the highest potential impact if moved. The Chiefs, Vikings and Giants were listed as likely buyers, while the Colts and Chargers were among probable sellers. After Week 9, teams weighed defensive needs and the trade-deadline window saw a record ten deals recorded for 2026, surpassing the 22 swaps made the previous season.
