With the #NFL trade deadline now behind us, all terminated contracts, regardless of service time, will be subject to the waiver system going forward.

Now that the dust has settled, the Indianapolis #Colts project to hold 12 draft picks in 2027:

In order to facilitate the Amani Hooker trade, the #Bills processed a salary conversion on OT Dion Dawkins' salary.

Firm numbers on that not yet available, but Buffalo could have opened up a maximum of $5.6M of cap space with that restructure.

Will the $10.5M injury guarantee on Daniel Jones' 2027 salary + a depleted roster push the Colts to start Anthony Richardson going forward?
