The Cardinals covered $2.7 million of Brissett's salary to move him, according to Revenge of the Birds. Separately, the Broncos checked on Cardinals tight end Trey McBride, but ESPN reported Arizona told Denver it was not interested in trading him.

Cowboys, 3-5 after losing 33-30 in overtime to Arizona, are still mathematically alive for the playoffs.

SB Nation, a fan blog, says Dallas remains mathematically alive in both the NFC East and the Wild Card race. It notes the Cowboys sit at the back of the 3-5 teams mainly because of head-to-head losses. The blog says the trade deadline on Tuesday will be a key decision point for the front office.

Colts have told teams they received a fourth-round pick offer for WR Josh Downs, according to ESPN.

Downs has asked to be traded, and Indianapolis appears likely to grant it, since he is in the final year of his rookie contract and leads the Colts with 330 receiving yards. Keenan Allen, second on the team with 325 receiving yards, could also be moved as Indianapolis looks toward 2027. Stampede Blue, a Colts fan blog, reports citing NFL insider Ari Meirov that Indianapolis has been offered more for nose tackle Grover Stewart than it got for DeForest Buckner.
