Low Positive

There was a lot of activity, but most of it was minor pieces. The only significant move today was the trade that Indianapolis made. But there was nothing like Von to the Rams or CMC to the 49ers. And the Pats and Chiefs also did nothing. I know the Steelers added Dugger (who seems washed), but they were shopping HARD for a WR and all they got was MVS to the practice squad. The status quo in the AFC didn't change. I wanted a WR too, but at least the Pats didn't use all that cap space to get someone like Maxx Crosby. That would have been a disaster.

But there really were not any big deadline deals this year, outside of Sauce to the Colts and Williams to the Cowboys. This was a quiet deadline, mostly because a lot of teams still feel like they're in contention for a playoff spot.

It's like when we traded for Douglass. The Bills negotiated with the Bears for a CB (stevenson, I think) all week, and when the Bears refused to move off their high demands, Beane moved on to plan B (Rasul), which took just a few minutes.

Well then lucky for everyone that he didn't go to the right team. They are literally playing stree FAs at both safety spots and they trade for a LB and a DT just because Jerrah had heard of the players.

The Cowboys are like the Yankees. They will be always be buyers, even in losing seasons. They just have to keep swinging.

I think he's under directives from ownership to remain competitive year after year at the expense of pushing all the chips into the table for one run.

The only actual deadline seller just happened to be in the division.

The Colts had 4 million in cap space at the start of the day and just traded for Sauce. You can make it work if you are willing to mortgage the future for the present.

Because we all want something badly, and we have no control over it. And we can all see that this team doesn't have enough, but for some reason the one person who could do something about it doesn't seem to feel the urgency that we all do. I think this direction is actually coming from ownership. You have to admit, watching other teams get better every year during FA and at the deadline while we do little to nothing is frustrating.

Beane's press conference in an hour and a half:

He's sad his buddy Shaheed got traded.

The Jets got his best years and he's already been paid. A first, hopefully, is a good player with cost control for 5 years. That's how GMs think of it and why firsts have so much value in trades.

Plus, they can trade him to the NFC. It sucks that the one team that is really selling happens to be in our division.

Still doesn't fix their secondary...

They could just sign MVS. He's still a free agent.
