Even more impactful transactions could be on the way before Nov. 10, but in the meantime, the Chicago Bears are the biggest winners of the deadline thus far with their highly fruitful acquisition of Jeffery Simmons, while the Indianapolis Colts emerged as the most aggressive sellers in dealing Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner.
