Part 4/10:
Key Trades Already Happening
Early trades have already signaled the importance of the deadline. For instance, quarterback Joe Flacco was traded from Cleveland to Cincinnati after a rough stint with the Browns, where he threw two touchdowns and six interceptions. Cleveland benefited by moving Flacco for a late-round pick swap, while Cincinnati hopes Flacco can help keep their division push alive during Joe Burrow's injury absence.
The Cleveland Browns also executed a notable cornerback swap, sending Greg Newsome to Jacksonville for Tyson Campbell—a rare corner-for-corner trade driven by financial considerations. Additionally, the Ravens acquired edge rusher Odafe Oweh from the Colts, who traded safety Aloe Gilman, aiming to bolster their pass rush and add youthful depth.
