Typically, the NFL trade deadline encourages a lot more talk than action, but clubs have made deals in advance of Tuesday.
The Los Angeles Rams satisfied the Jacksonville Jaguars' trade parameters for cornerback Jalen Ramsey, two first-rounders, in a blockbuster deal two weeks before the cutoff period. The Oakland Raiders sent 2017 first-rounder Gareon Conley to the cornerback-needy Houston Texans. The Atlanta Falcons dealt wideout Mohamed Sanu to the New England Patriots. They are just a few of the recent transactions.
As front-office executives of winning teams sacrifice draft picks for proven commodities, we could see an active deadline this year.
