Multiple NFL insiders believe big QB trades could be on the horizon

NFL insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano report that significant quarterback trades could occur before the trade deadline following the Minnesota Vikings trading J.J. McCarthy to the New York Giants. Several quarterbacks have emerged as potential targets for needy teams as injuries and early-season struggles shift team plans across the league.

San Francisco 49ers backup Mac Jones is considered a top name, though the team may keep him due to Brock Purdy's injury history. Other potential trade candidates mentioned include Anthony Richardson of the Indianapolis Colts, as well as Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew if rookie Carson Beck takes over.
