The Niners were looking for a defensive tackle after an injury to Javon Hargrave put him on injured reserve.
They find their man in fourth-year veteran Khalil Davis, who so far has made nine total tackles and one sack.
It's not a splashy move, but this will be a great depth piece for the Niners as they push forward.
If this trade was two years ago, this would be an absolute coup for Baltimore.
When White was in Buffalo, he was one of the top cornerbacks in the league - earning first-team All Pro honors in 2019 and second-team All Pro in 2020.
But he hasn't played a full season since 2020 - and only a combined 14 games in the last three seasons (including 2024 so far).
He likely won't return to his previous form, but he's a free agent after this season and the Ravens essentially gave up a net nothing to get him as Baltimore and LA swap seventh-round picks as well.
Pittsburgh wasn't satisfied with only adding to their receiving corps, now they bulk up their pass rush.
The Steelers have a top-ten defense but are in the bottom half of the league in sacks. They're led by weak-side linebacker T.J. Watt, with six-and-a-half.
Now in comes Smith, who has put up eight sacks in every season since 2019 (barring the Covid year in 2020).
Smith is on a $3.2million cap hit this season, which increases to $12m in 2025 and $12.6m in 2026.
The Chiefs kicked the tires on Lattimore, but with the CB off to Washington, The Athletic's Dianna Russini says it's unlikely that Kansas City adds any more pieces.
They already picked up Josh Uche from the Patriots and DeAndre Hopkins from Tennessee, so it's not like they did nothing this season.
Williams was languishing as the WR3 in the Jets' system after Davante Adams was acquired by New York earlier this season. Behind Adams and Garrett Wilson, Williams was looking for a way out.
He finds it in a Steelers team that has a great chance of making the playoffs, unlike the Jets. Pittsburgh is 6-2 while New York is 3-6.
So far this season, Williams has 12 catches for 166 yards and no touchdowns.
Pittsburgh was in need of wide receiver help alongside top target George Pickens - as Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III have been underperforming.
Is this a home run for Pittsburgh? Not exactly. Williams is good, but isn't exactly a true game-changer like he used to be with the Chargers. But, it's a good move nonetheless as Pittsburgh looks to seriously contend for the AFC North title.
TRADE: The New York Jets trade wide receiver Mike Williams to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick, according to Ian Rapoport.
Williams is on a contract that expires at the end of this season, which would make him a free agent.
As pointed out by Adam Schefter, the Saints re-structured Lattimore's contract over the summer to offset his cap hit this season.
Washington will acquire him at a base salary of $1.2million for this season.
Next year, Lattimore's contract jumps up to $16million before rising to $16.5m in 2026.
Wow. What a move.
Just a year ago, the Commanders won all of four games and sank to the second overall pick in the draft.
Now, their fortunes have completely changed. Over the offseason, they got a new GM in Adam Peters and a new head coach in Dan Quinn. Couple those moves with a new quarterback in Jayden Daniels and there was a recipe to make a marginal improvement from last year.
Toss "marginal" out the window. The Commanders lead the NFC East at a 7-2 record and are flying high - leading them to grab one of the league's top man-coverage cornerbacks in Lattimore.
A four-time Pro Bowler and a former Defensive Rookie of the Year, the Ohio State product will be a welcome addition to a Commanders secondary that ranks bottom-five in interceptions.
According to separate reports from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter, trade talks have intensified around New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
Reports indicate that the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders are interested...
An unnamed NFL GM has spoken to Jane Slater of NFL Network and gave the Mingo to Dallas trade a poor review.
"Talented. A little raw. Comp[ensation] is too much…like way too much. Basically a net 5th. Probably is most like Tolbert of the guys there," the GM said. "Just my opinion. Not a bad player but to include a 4th is rich."
Another NFL talent evaluator told Slater, "That should’ve been a 6 for 7 pick swap" with a puking face emoji.
We've already passed the numbers from 2020 (albeit, there was a tiny little pandemic going on). It'd be so nice if we got more action and approached that number.
A quick comparison from us: the 2024 NHL deadline day saw 30 players get traded and the 2024 NBA deadline day saw 41 players get traded (not counting draft rights).
The added benefit of pushing back the trade deadline is that it could incentivize more teams to make moves - which would spice up what is typically a boring affair.
The Athletic conducted an analysis of the trade deadlines of the four major leagues and how many trades have been made on Deadline Day since 2000.
MLB led the way with 759 deals, the NHL has seen 499 trades, and the NBA has swapped 211 players.
The NFL? Just 42.
The Carolina Panthers are sellers. That's not a surprise considering they're in the hunt for the first overall pick... again.
On the outside, trading the guy that they picked 39th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft feels a little premature as he could have blossomed into a great piece to build around Bryce Young (or another quarterback they may choose to draft this year if the Panthers are truly done with Young).
But Mingo has struggled in his transition to the NFL. He has under 550 receiving yards in his career and has never caught a pass for a touchdown. This season, he
This could eventually be a good move for Dallas (emphasis on "could") - who have been begging for wide receiver help [their WR2 is Jalen Tolbert, WR3 is Jalen Brooks]. But it's hard to tell if this fresh start will be truly helpful to him this season - especially with quarterback Dak Prescott reportedly heading for the IR.
Mingo has the raw talent to develop into something great, but the fact that the Panthers got a fourth-round pick for him will likely lead many to declare that Carolina fleeced Dallas. He's still on his rookie deal, which makes him a free agent in 2027.
Now, some of you may be wondering "why does it feel like the NFL trade deadline is later this year?" That's because you're right! They did change the deadline very slightly this season.
Before the season began, back during the March annual meetings, the league decided to move the deadline back one week - to Week 9 rather than Week 8.
What that does is help teams who may feel like they're still in the race for the playoffs (and beyond) with more time to make decisions on pieces to their puzzle. It also aligns with other leagues (the NBA and NHL specifically) whose deadlines are closer to when their seasons end.
Now, all that remains is if the new NFL Trade Deadline provides the same level of excitement as the NBA and NHL ones do.
The Cincinnati running back room looked very different this season as compared to the one prior.
Out went star Joe Mixon and reliable backup Samaje Perine, in came rookie Chase Brown and Zack Moss - who is currently injured.
Herbert has over 1,700 career rushing yards and has played in Chicago his entire career after playing college ball at Kansas, then Virginia Tech.
Ever since losing Aidan Hutchinson to a season ending leg fracture, the Detroit Lions have been looking for a pass rusher.
Enter Za'Darius Smith from the struggling Cleveland Browns.He's already got five sacks this season and will compliment James Houston by playing on the right side of the defensive line.
At a return of just a fifth and a sixth rounder (Smith's deal expires at the end of this season) this is a great rental piece for a Lions team with Super Bowl aspirations.
It might be the second most important thing going on in the United States today, but it's certainly worth covering.

As a matter of fact, something just came across the desk...
