Running Back Market Ready to Move

The trade deadline next Tuesday looms large for teams needing help at running back. A standout player from the Colts could command a package including a second-round pick and a third-round pick plus more. Other teams may turn to alternatives like a steady three-down back from the Titans if the asking price stays high. Several contenders including the Broncos, Bengals, Packers and Vikings face run-game issues that could force action before the deadline.

Buccaneers Positioned for NFC South Lead

A 3-5 Buccaneers squad could still claim the NFC South title. The group has shown enough to suggest a turnaround remains possible with the right results in the coming weeks. Playoff positioning becomes clearer after this midway point of the season.

Herbert Trade Interest Could Rise

Multiple teams might explore options around the Chargers quarterback. A move would reshape the landscape for clubs looking to add a top signal-caller before the deadline. Interest could test what the market values in such a deal.
