Panthers restructure Taylor Moton's contract to create $3.5 million in 2026 cap room.

According to Spotrac, as cited by Cat Scratch Reader, Carolina converted $5.3 million of Moton's base salary into signing bonus. The Panthers were at the cap before the move, and the room could help them sign free agents, such as cornerback Jack Jones, whom they hosted for a visit but have not offered a contract. The 3-5 Panthers lead the NFC South, which the fan site says makes them more likely to be buyers at the trade deadline.

Chiefs reportedly agree to acquire receiver Josh Downs from the Colts for 2027 fourth- and fifth-round picks.

Downs had requested a trade from Indianapolis and has 33 catches for 354 yards with one interception this season, according to ProFootballTalk. Kansas City lost receiver Tyquan Thornton to an ankle injury earlier this season, according to Behind the Steel Curtain. Kansas City will also send a 2027 seventh-round pick to Indianapolis.

Eagles trade defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jaguars for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.

NBC Sports Philadelphia says Davis signed a $78 million, three-year extension eight months ago and had a disappointing season, with half a sack through eight weeks. The move clears the way for the Eagles to keep Moro Ojomo, and Philadelphia is now 2-7 after a seven-game losing streak. Bleeding Green Nation, citing ESPN, reports Jacksonville also acquired safety Jessie Bates III in a separate deal.

Bills trade a second-round pick to the Titans for safety Amani Hooker, who comes with a fifth-round pick.

ESPN reported the deal, which came just before the NFL trade deadline. A Buffalo Rumblings analysis says Hooker is signed through the 2028 season and has five interceptions this year. Fans on both sides viewed the trade as the Bills filling a clear need in the secondary.
