Commanders

  • Commanders GM Adam Peters on the deadline: “We looked to find guys that could help us short- and long-term. We made some efforts, but ultimately those guys weren’t moved. … Nothing really made sense in the end that was of great value for us, and other teams decided to hold onto their guys.” (Keim)
  • Grant Paulsen reports the Commanders are expected to start Nick Allegretti at center for Thursday Night against the Giants. 

Eagles 

The Eagles made a blockbuster trade, sending DT Jordan Davis to the Jaguars in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. Davis admitted he was disappointed to be dealt by Philadelphia, but understands they are in a rebuilding process. 

“A little disappointed but, you know, understanding that they’re in the rebuilding process glad and you know, for the picks — first-round and second-round pick — obviously helps the team and, you know, I love those guys,” Davis said, via Eagle Times. “So however I can help the team, even in my departure, I’m absolutely glad to be doing that.”

Giants

  • The Giants signed CB Greg Newsome II to a three-year, $45.75 million contract extension in 2026 with $25 million guaranteed at signing, including a $4 million signing bonus and fully guaranteed base salaries of $7 million in 2027 and $14 million in 2028. (OTC)
  • Newsome’s contract includes a $6 million roster bonus due in March 2027, an additional $3 million roster bonus due in March 2029, annual per-game roster bonuses worth up to $750,000, and annual workout bonuses of $250,000.
  • The extension leaves Newsome’s 2026 salary cap charge unchanged at approximately $7.96 million, with projected cap hits of $15 million in 2027, $16 million in 2028, and $14.75 million in 2029.

Giants

Giants RB Cam Skattebo spoke to the press after the team opted not to trade the Colts for RB Jonathan Taylor, as some in the media speculated they would at the deadline.

“You’ve seen what I can do. When I come out and I’m ready to play football, I can be one of the most dangerous backs in the league. Simple as that,” Skattebo said, via NFL.com. “I would be skeptical, too, if my running back was going for 60 yards a game and not really exploding out. But I’m still getting comfortable, man. This is like my 13th game in the league. I’m not even through a full football season yet. I’m still learning how to play football in this league. You obviously can see I’m getting more comfortable as I play the game. I’ve been that guy. Obviously, we had that one-week hiccup where I got in trouble [and got benched against the Saints]. That was it. I came back that next week and handled business. They know what I’m capable of. They know what I can do.”
