NFL trade deadline latest: Commanders land CB Marshon Lattimore

The Arizona Cardinals got busy with a Monday deal before the 2024 NFL trade deadline by acquiring pass rusher Baron Browning from the Denver Broncos. But Arizona was done from there, getting a depth piece at value before the 2 p.m. MST deadline Tuesday.

Deadline day got an early jump with pass rusher Za’Darius Smith heading from the Cleveland Browns to the Detroit Lions to help a contender.

What else is happening around the NFL?

Here’s what went down Tuesday morning until the deadline.

NFL trade deadline updates: Rams deal CB Tre’Davious White to Ravens

The Los Angeles Rams (4-4) shipped veteran Tre’Davious White to the Baltimore Ravens, reports NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

White was a bargain flier signing for the Rams this offseason after dealing with serious injuries while starring with the Buffalo Bills.

White this year appeared in four games and tallied 12 tackles with two passes defensed.

According to Pelissero, Baltimore (6-3) was considering a deal with New Orleans before the Saints shipped Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders.

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports the deal includes a swap of seventh-round picks in 2026 and 2027.

49ers add DT Khalil Davis from Texans

At the buzzer before the 2 p.m. MST deadline, the Houston Texans traded defensive tackle Khalil Davis to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 seventh-round pick, reports Russini.

Davis has nine tackles and a sack this season in limited action

Saints trade Marshon Lattimore to commanders

The Saints, who just fired head coach Dennis Allen, traded Lattimore to the Commanders on Tuesday.

Pelissero reports New Orleans took back a third-rounder, fourth-rounder and a sixth from an earlier deal. Washington also got a fifth-round pick along with the star cornerback.

The 28-year-old cornerback is managing a hamstring injury and is under contract through 2026.

A four-time Pro Bowler, Lattimore has spent his entire eight-year career with New Orleans but has not played more than 10 games the past three seasons.

This year in seven games for the 2-7 Saints, he has 30 tackles with two passes defensed.

Steelers add WR Mike Williams in deal with Jets, edge Preston Smith from Packers

The New York Jets have dealt receiver Mike Williams to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a fifth-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Pittsburgh also acquired pass rusher Preston Smith from the Green Bay Packers, according to multiple reports. The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman reports Green Bay received a 2025 seventh-round pick.

Williams couldn’t find his footing in New York after suffering an ACL injury early last season and for the first time in nine seasons playing for a team other than the Chargers.

He had 12 catches for 166 yards and was most infamous for running an incorrect route, a point Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers made clear after a game.

At receiver, New York recently acquired Davante Adams to place him alongside Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard, making Williams expendable.

Williams, who has two 1,000-yard seasons in his career, gets a fresh start for a team that heavily features George Pickens. After Pickens’ 548 receiving yards so far this year, Pittsburgh has tight end Pat Freiermuth (264 yards) and receiver Calvin Austin III (257 yards) on the roster, with Van Jefferson as the third wideout.

Smith has 2.5 sacks and 19 tackles this season.

Cowboys trade for Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo

The Dallas Cowboys not only announced they would put quarterback Dak Prescott on injured reserve but made a move to help backup Cooper Rush.

Dallas (3-5) traded a 2025 fourth-round pick to the Carolina Panthers for Jonathan Mingo and a seventh-rounder, according to Pelissero.

Mingo, a 2023 second-round pick, has 12 catches for 121 yards this year.

As a rookie, he recorded 418 yards on 43 catches.

The Cowboys could use him immediately, with lead receiver CeeDee Lamb nursing a knee injury.

Bengals add RB Khalil Herbert for Bears’ late-rounder

Running back Khalil Herbert is on his way to the Cincinnati Bengals for a 2025 seventh-round draft pick.

The move for the 4-5 Bengals boosts a running back room with Zach Moss expected to miss the rest of the year with a neck injury.

The 26-year-old Herbert has been sparingly used this season with eight carries for 16 yards. He’s gotten 27 offensive snaps in six games but has been primarily playing on special teams.

He’s got a stronger resume: Herbert piled up 865 combined rushing and receiving yards just a year ago in Chicago.

Browns trade Za’Darius Smith to Lions

CLEVELAND (AP) — Za’Darius Smith re-signed with Cleveland to chase a Super Bowl, never imagining taking a detour through Detroit.

The Browns agreed Tuesday to trade the experienced edge rusher to the Detroit Lions, who were looking to bolster their pass rush following star Aidan Hutchinson’s leg injury, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.

Already looking to rebuild in a disappointing season, the Browns are sending Smith and a seventh-round pick in 2026 to the Lions. In return, Cleveland is getting a fifth-round pick in 2025 and a sixth-round pick in 2026, the person said.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams have not announced the deal.

The teams agreed on the deal hours before the 4 p.m. trade deadline, but Smith’s move has been rumored for weeks with the Browns in a tailspin and seeking to acquire draft assets for what appears to be the start of another rebuild.

Cleveland general manager Andrew Berry could unload more players as the Browns (2-7) start to think about 2025 and beyond.

The Lions (7-1), on the other hand, are legitimate Super Bowl contenders and needed someone to fill the massive void created on their defensive line after Hutchinson broke his leg on Oct. 13 in a game at Dallas.

After helping the Browns get to the playoffs last season, Smith signed a two-year, $23 million contract in March.

He was initially acquired by Cleveland in 2023 in a trade with Minnesota as the Browns brought him in to help Myles Garrett up front. Smith did as the Browns went 11-6, got a wild-card berth and Garrett was voted the AP Defensive Player of the Year.

But this season hasn’t gone as planned and the Browns could make other moves with the postseason no longer realistic.

A three-time Pro Bowler, the 32-year-old Smith gives the Lions experience and a proven pass rusher. Smith has 65 career sacks, including five this season.

Following Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Smith was told there was a report he would be headed to Detroit.

“Oh, that happened?” Smith said to reporters. “See you all.”

Now he’s on his way back to the NFC North after spending a year with the Vikings and three with the Green Bay Packers. Smith was initially drafted in the fourth round in 2015 by Baltimore and spent four seasons with the Ravens.
