Well, things escalated quickly. Which teams made the best -- and worst -- moves before the NFL trade deadline? We're making sense of all the action.

During today's NFL trade deadline, a few big moves were made, while some other mediocre teams decided to stand firm and be content

New York dealt the two biggest stars on deadline day, moving cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts for two first-round picks and wideout Adonai Mitchell. Later, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams headed to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 second-rounder, 2027 first-rounder and DT Mazi Smith.

The Pittsburgh Steelers failed to pull off any moves at the NFL trade deadline, leaving fans upset about all the wasted hype.

Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes did not make an NFL trade deadline move for the first time since 2021 despite injury problems on the OL.

The Cowboys are giving New York a 2027 first-round draft pick, a 2026 second-rounder and underperforming defensive tackle Mazi Smith, according to one of the people who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced.
