Kirk Cousins rejoined the Minnesota Vikings in a trade before the NFL deadline, while the Broncos and Bengals each saw proposed deals collapse, in fallout reported on November 11 and 12, 2026. Cousins said coach Kevin O'Connell convinced him to accept the move, saying "Kevin knows me." The Broncos announced late Wednesday that their trade for Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley "will not be finalized," and Bengals coach Zac Taylor apologized for a failed trade for Eagles edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie, saying it was on Cincinnati's end. ESPN also reported the Giants called the Falcons about running back Bijan Robinson, and that no deals happened for Jonathan Taylor, Daniel Jones or Brian Thomas Jr. Fernando Mendoza said he had no inkling of the Cousins deal as the Raiders' starter, and the Rams said they did not trade for a receiver because Davante Adams may return soon.
