5 Not-So-Crazy NFL Trade Deadline Blockbusters

Had DeForest Buckner signed this off-season with another team, the highest compensatory draft pick that the Colts could have gotten was a 5th being that he is an 11-year NFL veteran. Rather than getting a 2028 5th, the Colts opted today for the 2027 4th.
Trade: Colts are sending three-time Pro-Bowl DT DeForest Buckner back to the 49ers, the team that made him a 2016 first-round pick before dealing him to Indianapolis in 2020, per me and @rapsheet. Now Buckner returns to San Francisco, fortifying the 49ers defensive line.
The Colts now lead the #NFL with $37M of 2026 cap space, and hold an estimated $97M of room in 2027 (5th most).
