Overview
- ESPN reports the Steelers, Bills and Broncos are the most aggressive teams pursuing a wide receiver before the deadline.
- The Saints are seeking to extend Chris Olave and are viewed as unlikely to trade him, with league reporting shifting attention to Rashid Shaheed and Brandin Cooks.
- New Orleans is fielding offers and wants a third-round pick for Shaheed, while NFL.com says a Cooks deal is very possible given his low 2025 salary.
- Jacksonville is taking calls on Brian Thomas Jr., though The Athletic’s Dianna Russini characterizes a trade as highly unlikely.
- Buffalo is exploring help at wide receiver and safety with roughly $2.5 million in cap space, and potential targets mentioned include Jakobi Meyers and Rashod Bateman.
