The NFL trade deadline has come and gone with the Cleveland Browns only move being trading WR Donovan Peoples-Jones for a low 2025 draft pick. With the Browns still the seventh seed in the current NFL playoff picture, selling off a starter at the deadline doesn’t make a lot of sense.
However, there were a number of other moves made leading up to Halloween’s deadline. With the primary goal of in-season trades being about improving possible outcomes for buyers and setting up sellers to be better in future seasons, not all moves (like Cleveland’s) made sense.
