Ravens Land Ryan Neuzil and Vikings Bring Back Kirk Cousins at NFL Trade Deadline

Baltimore went back to the trade market for a center on Tuesday, November 10th. The Ravens acquired Ryan Neuzil from Atlanta for guard Andrew Vorhees and a 2028 sixth-round pick, according to the NFL’s trade tracker. It was Baltimore’s second deal for a center in five weeks, after the October 7th trade with Philadelphia for Cam Jurgens.

Neuzil arrived in Atlanta as an undrafted free agent in 2021 and worked his way up from the practice squad. The Falcons promoted him to starting center in 2025 after Drew Dalman left for Chicago. For Baltimore, the attraction is experience at the position that starts every snap. The Ravens had already addressed quarterback depth on Friday, acquiring quarterback Jacoby Brissett from Arizona after Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley went on injured reserve.

Minnesota Calls on a Familiar Quarterback

A night after Buffalo held the Vikings to six points, Minnesota sent Las Vegas a 2027 third-round pick for Kirk Cousins. He returns to the team he quarterbacked from 2018 through 2023. The Vikings had already traded J.J. McCarthy to the Giants in September. Now they have a quarterback who has played for head coach Kevin O’Connell, with a short week to get him reacquainted with the offense.

Jacksonville Pays Up on Defense

Jacksonville did its biggest business Monday. The Jaguars committed a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-rounder to Philadelphia for defensive tackle Jordan Davis. They also added nose tackle Davon Godchaux from New Orleans and safety Jessie Bates III from Atlanta. Davis and Godchaux give Jacksonville two options inside, while Bates brings help behind them. All three deals came within days of Jacksonville’s 33–10 win in Baltimore.

Two Colts Receivers Find New Homes

Indianapolis split up its receiving corps on Tuesday. Kansas City acquired Josh Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick for fourth- and fifth-round selections in the same draft. San Francisco acquired Keenan Allen for a 2027 sixth-rounder, its second deal with Indianapolis this fall after trading for defensive lineman DeForest Buckner.

Two AFC contenders spent higher picks on defense. Buffalo sent Tennessee a 2027 second-rounder for safety Amani Hooker and a fifth-round pick in that draft. Denver dealt directly with a division rival, sending the Chargers a 2027 fourth and a 2028 fifth for linebacker Daiyan Henley.
