NFL Trade Rumors
Time keeps on ticking toward the NFL trade deadline, with just two weeks left to go til deadline day on Tuesday, November 4. We’re at the point where talk needs to start turning into action, and teams need to figure out whether they’re going to be buyers or sellers as well as at what price points.
