The NFL trade deadline delivered notable quarterback movement on November 10, 2026, as the Minnesota Vikings acquired Kirk Cousins in a trade. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts opted against moving running back Jonathan Taylor but sent wide receiver Josh Downs to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Vikings' addition of Cousins addresses their quarterback position ahead of the season's second half. Indianapolis retained Taylor, one of the league's premier running backs, while parting with Downs, a second-year receiver, in a deal with the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs.
