ArdmoreRyno Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I honestly can't remember. Last year, all the talk was about CMC (look what he's done to help the 49ers). This will be another "nothing" burger as usual. Signing dudes who are sitting at home or on a practice squad isn't going to push us over the edge this season.

Gregg Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Bennett was then dealt to the Buffalo Bills from the Colts in a three-way trade that also included Los Angeles Rams running back Eric Dickerson and Bills running back Greg Bell. This trade occurred in the fall of the 1987 season, just before the trade deadline, and has been called "the trade of the decade" by The New York Times. 5 7 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fischer Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Impactful NFL deadline trades are very rare. The prices are usually steep for even a half-season rental. GMs need to be sure that the player will be significantly better than whoever is on the current roster. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the NBA or the NHL where rentals are the norm. The trade deadline is generally a nothing burger league wide. Yet every year at this time the board is flooded with Trade for this guy or Trade for that guy. And if nothing happens tomorrow, people will be freaking out and saying Beane is asleep at the wheel. When the truth is, odds are, no one's going to do much of anything league wide. Trades are very rare. I'd be happy if we did anything. Even if it isn't a big needle mover and just a depth move.

stlbills13 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Impactful in-season trades in the NFL are becoming more and more popular but it's still a longshot that anything earth shattering happens in the next 24 hours for more than one or two teams. Most likely a couple of depth moves or some trades to have better personnel fits (Elam). I do think Beane can greatly improve this roster with one or two "boring" moves though.

BigDingus Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Nah, we're not big on improving mid-season 😅 But they have to find a way to trade Elam before the deadline... Just my opinion, but he'll have more trade value now than he will in the offseason, especially since it looks like we have zero intention of using him either way.
