HOUSE Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) NFL trade deadline moved back Posted by Chris Brown on August 30, 2012 – 12:24 pm The NFLPA has reached an agreement with the NFL to move back the league’s trade deadline. On Thursday morning the two sides agreed to move the trade deadline back two weeks from the Tuesday after Week 6 (Oct. 16th) to the Tuesday after Week 8 (Oct. 30th). That could prove to be a very advantageous week for the Bills to swing a deal should their roster situation require it. Buffalo will be on their bye week in Week 8, so they’ll have the time to really focus on whether they need to make a move at that time. There was also a rule change to injured reserve as teams will be able to re-activate one player on injured reserve. So a player with a long term injury who may be healthy enough to play before the close of the regular season would be able to come off I-R and play again. Restrictions for new NFL I-R rule Posted by Chris Brown on August 30, 2012 – 1:45 pm The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to allow teams to pull a player off of their injured reserve list during the season and re-activate them in 2012. Here are the restrictions for the new I-R rule. Following the cutdown to 53 players, the new Reserve/Injured rule will work as follows: 1. Only players with a “major injury” who are placed on Reserve/Injured after 4:00 p.m., New York time, on Tuesday, September 4, or thereafter during the season, will be eligible to be reactivated at a later time. 2. A “major injury” is defined as an injury that renders the player unable to practice or play football for at least six weeks (42 calendar days) from the date of injury. 3. Each team may reactivate only one player placed on Reserve/Injured after 4:00 p.m., New York time, on Tuesday, September 4. That player must be “designated for return” at the time the club places him on Reserve/Injured, and such designation shall appear on that day’s Personnel Notice. 4. Such player is eligible to return to practice if he has been on Reserve/Injured for at least six weeks from the date he is placed on Reserve. He is eligible to return to the Active List if he has been on Reserve/Injured for at least eight weeks from the date he is placed on Reserve. Edited August 30, 2012 by HOUSE

Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Really, how many trades do we see on or before the trade deadline? It's not like the NHL where you have trades all day long CBF
