NFL Teams Split on Nov. 10 Trade Deadline as Chiefs, Cowboys Eye Heavy Buying

Summary
With 11 days until the Nov. 10 deadline, the leaguewide outlook points to clear buyers and sellers rather than broad inaction, with Kansas City, Dallas, Cincinnati, Chicago and Detroit projected as the most aggressive buyers.
Contenders are expected to chase impact defenders or receivers because several playoff hopefuls still have obvious roster holes, while Buffalo, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and San Francisco are seen making smaller upgrades instead of blockbuster swings.
Selling pressure is strongest on struggling or retooling teams: the Jets, Colts, Titans, Eagles, Commanders, Saints, Buccaneers and Cardinals are all projected to move veterans for picks or cap relief.
A middle tier of clubs including New England, Cleveland, Las Vegas and the Giants is forecast to stand pat, reflecting either tight cap situations, limited upside, or reluctance to disrupt decent starts.
The team-by-team projections build on a market already stirred by recent moves such as Chicago landing Jeffery Simmons, Seattle adding Quenton Nelson and San Francisco acquiring DeForest Buckner.
