NOTE: ANY SUGGESTIONS USED IN THE FOLLOWING POST ARE FOR EXAMPLE USES ONLY. I AM NOT SAYING THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WE SHOULD TRADE/TRADE FOR.

So, the trade deadline came and went, without really much action. This happens in sports a lot. The trade deadline comes, someone makes a pretty big move, and then everyone else remains quiet. But, usually in baseball, and sometimes in NBA, you see a trade come down after the deadline. Not because it wasn't reported, either, but because of the waiver-wire trade system.

Does the NFL have something similar. Say, where we could call Washington, tell them what we offer for Jason Campbell, they push him through waivers where he has a week to clear, and then we give them what we said we could, and they ship us him?

I'm just not clear whether or not the NFL runs something similar, so that the trade deadline is effectively not the deadline.

Why is the trade deadline so early in the season?

From what I understand the NFL doesnt want the bad teams to know how bad they are. Like they wouldnt want a 0-8, 1-7 teams to trade all of their good players for draft picks. They dont want teams to clean house.

They dont the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.

They want to keep games competitve for the second half of the season. So its not like baseball when the Yankees/Redsox are beating up triple A players when they play Baltimore.

I think its a way to help keep parity.

This is what I have always heard.

      He’s the best QB in the NFL right now. I’ve been saying that going back to the end of 2023. He has done more with less. Give him what the Ravens have and I think he’s got multiple Super Bowls at this point. I know Ravens fans and other people thought Lamar deserved the MVP last year but Allen, and really their last two match-ups, showed why Allen won it.    I don’t know if the Bills have the team to win a Super Bowl but they are good, and that’s because of Allen.    Watching them makes me realize the Panthers will never compete so long as Young is the starter. He just doesn’t have “it”. Maybe it’s a bit unrealistic to compare but Allen’s arm strength is pretty demoralizing.  He threw for 251 yards, in the 4th quarter. Bryce has thrown for 251 yards once or twice?

      So true. Even with Josh Allen's first rough couple of years, you saw the potential with him. He just wasn't consistent, but he would rip off HUGE games both passing and rushing that would make you go "yeah, this dude has the chance to become something". Bryce has NEVER shown that. Not one game where you go "wow, this kid will be a beast". It's been the same sh*t since his first regular season game to now. Xavier Legette the same thing.  TMac today definitely looked the part. Just too bad we paired him with one the worst QBs in the league
