Dallas grade: B
Cincinnati grade: B
Each groups get one thing out of this deal. The Cowboys get assist for a beleaguered protection, and whereas Wilson is just not going to resolve every little thing in a single day on his personal — let’s not overlook he was dropping snaps to a fourth-round rookie in the course of a porous Bengals protection — Dallas wants all the assistance they will get on the defensive facet of the ball.
As for the Bengals, Wilson requested a commerce, they usually have been capable of get one thing in return. So, good job everybody.
Titans commerce EDGE Dre’Mont Jones to the Ravens
The Tennessee Titans proceed promoting, buying and selling move rusher Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens for a conditional 2026 fifth-round choose.
Tennessee grade: B+
Baltimore grade: B-
Let’s begin with the Tennessee facet of issues. The Titans are in vendor mode, and after shifting cornerback Roger McCreary, they half methods with Dre’Mont Jones. They’re getting a conditional fifth-round choose within the 2026 NFL Draft, and that would flip right into a fourth-round choice if circumstances (that are unknown presently) are met.
It is a respectable return for Tennessee. Jones was enjoying on a one-year deal and the Titans are unlikely to obtain compensatory picks for departing free brokers this offseason, given the $108.6 million in cap area they’ve for 2026, per OverTheCap. Getting one thing for Jones now’s higher than getting nothing within the spring.
As for Baltimore, buying and selling away Odafe Oweh earlier this season after which including Jones is a curious course of. However he has racked up 4.5 sacks this season, and fills a necessity, so it isn’t a foul transfer. Simply … a curious one.
Dolphins commerce EDGE Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles
The Miami Dolphins traded Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles in alternate for a 2026 third-round choose:
Miami grade: A-
Philadelphia grade: B+
Let’s begin with the Dolphins’ facet of issues. Jaelan Phillips was set to hit free company within the spring, and with adjustments already underway in Miami, there was an opportunity the Dolphins weren’t going to maintain him past this season. Getting a third-round choose in return looks as if good enterprise relatively than watching him stroll out the door in free company. Miami is paying a portion of Phillips’ wage, in response to Ian Rapoport, to safe the higher of the Eagles’ picks within the third spherical. Philadelphia at the moment has its personal third-round choose, in addition to the New York Jets’ third-round choose.
As for the Eagles, that is nonetheless transfer even when Phillips finally ends up being a half-season rental. Philadelphia has a necessity alongside the defensive entrance and throughout the 2023 season, Phillips recorded 6.5 sacks in simply eight video games earlier than his season ended because of an Achilles damage.
His defensive coordinator that 12 months? None apart from Vic Fangio.
Then there’s this: If Phillips indicators elsewhere subsequent spring in free company, the Eagles will get a compensatory choose. As confirmed by Area Yates:
That looks as if a sensible little bit of enterprise.
Ravens commerce CB Jaire Alexander to Eagles
Philadelphia despatched a 2026 sixth-round choose to the Baltimore Ravens in alternate for veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander.
Baltimore grade: B+
Philadelphia grade: B-
It’s clear that Howie Roseman believes the protection is the largest drawback in Philadelphia, or maybe the best concern to resolve. Including Jaire Alexander simply days after buying and selling for Michael Carter II illustrates that the cornerback place reverse Quinyon Mitchell is an space that Roseman desires to improve.
Alexander offers Roseman and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio an alternative choice to resolve that riddle, however it isn’t clear Alexander is that reply. The veteran CB has performed simply two video games in Baltimore this season, regardless of the Ravens having some defensive issues of their very own. However given the fee, it’s a relatively cheap dart throw for Roseman.
As for the Ravens, getting one thing again for Alexander makes this an honest transfer for them.
Jets commerce CB Michael Carter to Eagles for WR John Metchie III
The New York Jets traded cornerback Michael Carter II to the Philadelphia Eagles in alternate for large receiver John Metchie III. Philadelphia additionally despatched a 2027 sixth-round choose to New York, whereas the Jets despatched a 2027 seventh-round choose to the Eagles:
New York grade: B
Philadelphia grade: B
Just like the Jaire Alexander commerce, that is one other try by Howie Roseman to resolve the cornerback concern. Carter is primarily a slot nook, which might imply the Eagles slide him inside and bump Cooper DeJean exterior throughout from Quinyon Mitchell. However Roseman’s pair of strikes have given the Eagles just a few totally different paths to fixing their secondary dilemma.
As for the Jets, they wanted so as to add some depth at large receiver, and John Metchie III offers them an alternative choice within the WR room.
Patriots commerce S Kyle Dugger to Steelers

New England grade: B-
Pittsburgh grade: B
For the Steelers, Dugger helps fill a gap created when DeShon Elliott suffered a leg damage Sunday night time in Pittsburgh’s loss to the Inexperienced Bay Packers. Chuck Clark stepped into the sport for Elliott and was promptly crushed by Inexperienced Bay tight finish Tucker Kraft on an enormous passing play, so Dugger offers the Steelers an alternative choice at robust security.
As for the Patriots, Dugger had seen his snaps decreased below the brand new teaching employees, solely enjoying when New England was giving Jaylinn Hawkins a breather. He recorded simply 17 tackles in seven video games this season, enjoying solely 101 defensive snaps.
The transfer does liberate cap area for the Patriots over the subsequent few season, which helps increase the grade a bit. New England created near $5.8 million in cap area for 2025, greater than $7 million for 2026, and $18 million for 2027.
Patriots commerce EDGE Keion White to 49ers
The Dugger commerce was not the one deal that New England made on Tuesday. The Patriots additionally despatched move rusher Keion White to the San Francisco 49ers together with a 2026 seventh-round choose in alternate for a 2026 sixth-round choose. White had 5 sacks final season, and the 49ers desperately wanted assist up entrance after dropping Nick Bosa for the season with a knee damage.
New England grade: C
San Francisco grade: A-
The 49ers actually wanted assist up entrance. Not solely did San Francisco lose Nick Bosa to a season-ending ACL damage in Week 3, however in the intervening time the 49ers have simply 9 sacks — tying them with the Baltimore Ravens for second-worst within the NFL) and have pressured opposition quarterbacks on simply 10.8% of dropbacks, the worst mark within the league. Including Keion White, who can rush the passer on each the sting and within the inside, offers Robert Saleh an alternative choice at producing stress.
As for New England’s facet of this deal, whereas White’s position diminished with the Patriots because of the addition of Harold Landry III, Okay’Lavon Chaisson, and Milton Williams, an damage to any of these gamers would possibly go away New England wishing White was nonetheless on the roster. To maneuver on from him as a part of a late-round choose swap looks like a light-weight return.
Until the Patriots are setting the stage for a much bigger transfer within the days forward …
Titans commerce CB Roger McCreary to Rams
The Tennessee Titans have begun retooling for subsequent season, sending cornerback Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams. Tennessee will obtain a conditional 2026 fifth-round choose within the deal, whereas the Rams will obtain a conditional 2026 sixth-round choose together with the cornerback.
Los Angeles grade: B
Tennessee grade: B-
In including McCreary, the Rams now have one other versatile choice of their secondary.

Or they may use McCreary on the skin, the place Emmanuel Forbes Jr., Cobie Durant, and Darious Williams have been rotating. It is a case of the extra choices you have got, the higher for the Rams.
As for Tennessee, 2026 begins now.
