Branch Rickey coined the following saying regarding baseball, although it is just as applicable to the sport of football: “Trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late.” Preparing to move on from a player, even if he’s playing well, is something all general managers should be prepared to do.

With the team looking to get younger and preparing for the future with Josh Allen, is Hughes really in their plans?
