Seven teams contacted ex-Chiefs RB ahead of 2026 NFL trade deadline

According to insider Aaron Wilson, former Kansas City Chiefs running back Dameon Pierce is garnering significant interest ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline.

Per Wilson’s reporting, Pierce — who was released by the Philadelphia on November 6 with an injury settlement — has already received calls from the Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers.
