NFL trade deadline: Saquon Barkley to Seahawks among 10 moves that need to happen (Riq Woolen to Lions - The defensive backfield situation in Detroit is bleak, and that might be putting it nicely. The NFL's worst pass defense is desperate for help at each secondary position, while Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph remain out with injuries at safety, and the cornerback unit still has not recovered from the loss of Terrion Arnold.  Since the Lions keep scoring at an elite level and own plenty of pieces on the rest of the defense, there might not be a more glaring missing link for a postseason contender than their secondary. They will likely be aggressive at the trade deadline.  Riq Woolen should be there for the taking as the Eagles potentially tear everything down. He signed with them in March on a one-year contract, and given that he is still in his prime, it seems unlikely that he would re-sign with Philadelphia if they commit to a rebuild.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-trade-deadline-10-moves-saquon-barkley-seahawks/

2026 NFL MVP rankings after Week 6: Jordan Love shines vs. Cowboys (7. Jahmyr Gibbs (Detroit Lions) - NFL: Detroit Lions at Arizona Cardinals.  Gibbs is ranked inside the top 5 in rushing yards and touchdowns through Week 6. The Lions may have countless offensive weapons, but the team’s RB1 looks by far the most dynamic. He’s certainly in the MVP consideration for his rushing and pass-catching abilities.):  https://www.thebiglead.com/2026-nfl-mvp-rankings-week-6-jordan-love-cowboys/
