Allen Park — The NFL's trade deadline is fast approaching, arriving Tuesday at 4 p.m., and a flurry of activity has already begun.

On Monday, the Miami Dolphins finalized a deal to send running back Kenyon Drake to the Arizona Cardinals for a sixth-round draft pick that becomes a fifth-rounder if contingencies are met.

Later in the day, the New York Jets shipped former first-round defensive lineman Leonard Williams across town to the New York Giants in exchange for a third-round choice in 2020 and a fifth-rounder in 2021 that becomes a fourth-round selection if Williams signs a contract extension with the Giants.
