Before free agency happens, there’s occasionally a period in which teams try to trade for a player. Last year, we saw several trades agreed to in principle before the new year started, leading to a flurry of moves before free agency even began.
Even this year, it looks like that will happen. Joe Flacco is apparently already on the move to Denver. Yesterday saw Denver agreeing to trade Case Keenum to Washington. And Antonio Brown is currently Buffalo’s Schroedinger receiver. He both is and isn’t a Bill.
The Detroit Lions tried to get in on the fun last year, making a bold play for tight end Rob Gronkowski, but things didn’t work out in the end.
