The NFL trade deadline is just hours away, and eyes are on the Houston Texans and their decision to either buy or sell while being out of the playoff picture.

Despite sitting at 3-5, Houston has two winnable games ahead against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans. With victories that would put them at 5-5 entering a pair of must-win matchups against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football and the Indianapolis Colts to close out November. The Texans have been in every game, but the lack of offensive success has led to four late debacles, all ending with a fourth-quarter comeback by the opposing team.

There’s a definite need at tight end and offensive line, but are there players worth targeting on the open market for the asking price teams covet? There are also a couple of players on the roster who don’t seem to have a role and could be dealt out of Houston at the deadline.

Below, we’ll track the latest news and rumors around the Texans at the trade deadline:

The Jets are imploding and for some reason, the Dallas Cowboys are in the mindset that a move to land Quinnen Williams will help them figure out their defensive woes after losing on Monday night.

The Cowboys have given up a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick and defensive tackle and former first-round pick Mazi Smith to the Jets to complete the trade for the three-time All-Pro defensive lineman, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Earlier on the trade deadline, the Cowboys acquired Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals for a 2026 seventh-round pick.

A former top-three pick in 2019 out of Alabama, Williams, 28, was selected to the Pro Bowl for the 2021-23 season. This season, Williams has been credited with 32 tackles, a sack, three forced fumbles and three quarterback hurries. For his career, he’s totaled 40 sacks.

Seattle lands Saints star Shaheed

Rashid Shaheed is leaving New Orleans and headed to the Emerald City, joining Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Seattle is sending 2026 fourth- and fifth-round picks to New Orleans, which is looking to rebuild behind first-year coach Kellen Moore.

Shaheed, 27, was previously coached by Seahawks offensive coordinator Kilnt Kuibak in 2024. This season, he’s totaled 44 receptions for 499 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. The addition of the speedy Shaheed gives the Seahawks some needed reinforcement at receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and rookie Tory Horton, as Cooper Kupp has been dealing with an injury that has sidelined him for weeks.

For his career, Shaheed has 138 career catches for 2,055 receiving yards, 12 receiving touchdowns, one rushing touchdown and two punt returns for a touchdown.

Sauce Gardner will now battle with Derek Stingley Jr. for the title of top cornerbakc in the AFC South.

The Indianapolis Colts are trading two first-round picks to the New York Jets in exchange for the All-Pro defensive back. He’ll be in the division for the next four seasons after inking an extension this offseason with the Jets worth $120.4 million.

Former Texas wideout Adonai Mitchell also will head to New York as part of the deal, thus keeping him under contract through 2027.

The 2025 season has gone poorly for the Jets under first-year coach Aaron Glenn. The team sits at 1-7, while Gardner missed Week 8 with a concussion. New York is looking to fully rebuild, so trading away all assets seems to be the smart plan for Gang Green.

Gardner, who was selected one pick after Stingley in the 2022 draft, was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2022. Since 1970, he’s the only cornerback to be named first-team All-Pro in each of his first two seasons.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are swinging for the AFC South division title by adding another weapon for Trevor Lawrence and the passing game. Jacksonville is sending the Las Vegas Raiders its fourth- and sixth-round selections in the 2026 NFL draft in exchange for wideout Jakobi Meyers.

Meyers had been rumored to be on the block since the start of the regular season, but with Pete Carroll running the show, the hope was that the team would turn around before things got out of control. Sitting at 2-6, that’s not the case in Sin City, thus leading to his departure in Duval County.
