NFL Roster Moves — August 29, 2026
A running log of every NFL roster transaction reported on August 29, 2026 — trades, signings, waivers and releases — as teams cut from 90 to 53 ahead of Sunday's deadline.
Saturday was a frenzy of movement across the league as clubs raced to the 53-man roster deadline Sunday at 4 p.m. ET. The day's headline moves were a cluster of offensive-line and quarterback trades — the Cowboys landed former first-round OT Broderick Jones from Pittsburgh, the Chiefs grabbed OT Diego Pounds from Baltimore, the Jaguars traded for QB Quinn Ewers, the Giants picked up DT CJ Okoye from the Ravens and the Patriots acquired RB Corey Kiner from Arizona — but the bulk of the action was the usual cutdown churn, with the Dolphins, Giants, Panthers and Buccaneers each parting with a half-dozen or more players.
