“Derrick Henry’s not getting traded,” Jay Glazer said on site with Army and Navy cadets ahead of Veterans Day, addressing rumors surrounding the Baltimore Ravens running back.
As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the annual frenzy of roster adjustments is taking shape across the league. Reporting for “FOX NFL Sunday” from Annapolis, Jay Glazer detailed the trade deadline plans and needs for several key NFL franchises.
The Ravens have firmly closed the door on moving their star back. Per Glazer, Baltimore made it clear that Henry is staying put. Lamar Jackson told teammates he expects to return to the field later this year.
Buffalo enters Week 9 sitting at 6-1 and leading the league with 233 points scored, despite playing one fewer game than most competitors. According to Glazer, general manager Brandon Beane is focusing squarely on the defensive side of the ball, specifically hunting for secondary help after releasing safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
Jacksonville shares a similar defensive mindset. With defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton lost for the season due to a torn quad, the Jaguars are scanning the market. “The Jaguars … they are looking for a defensive tackle,” Glazer said, adding that the team is trying to get richer before the deadline.
In Dallas, the script looks different. Despite placing rookie Malachi Lawrence on injured reserve and owning a defense that routinely seeks improvement, owner and general manager Jerry Jones plans to stay quiet. “Cowboys, man, they’re always in at the trade deadline, but I’m told nothing’s imminent there,” Glazer said, noting an absence of their usual splashy moves.
While some contenders shore up their front lines, other high-powered offenses are hunting for receiving talent. San Francisco lacks receiver Ricky Pearsall due to injury, the Steelers want another pass-catcher alongside DK Metcalf, and the Chiefs want to give Patrick Mahomes another weapon.
“The Steelers are still looking for a receiver,” Glazer reported. “The 49ers, last week I told you that they tried to trade for a receiver; they’re in it. And the Chiefs are in it for a receiver too.”
New England is taking a different approach after spending a 2028 first-round and 2027 fifth-round pick on wide receiver A.J. Brown back in June. Owner Robert Kraft now has his sights set on bolstering the defensive front. Despite facing multiple injuries across the roster, the Patriots are prioritizing a pass rusher to supplement a rushing defense that currently ranks sixth in the NFL.
