NFL Week 10 latest intel, buzz questions, trade deadline news - ESPN

It's Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season, and the trade deadline is officially behind us. As the dust settles on all the moves, insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano have been calling sources around the league for the latest news and notable buzz.

Jeremy and Dan share what they're hearing, answer big questions, hand out useful fantasy football nuggets and empty their reporting notebooks heading into Week 10.
