Many blockbuster trades went down before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET NFL trade deadline.
The Commanders traded their two standout edge rushers Chase Young and Montez Sweat to get a head start on the many changes that are expected with new team ownership. But, surprisingly, only one went to a contending team.
Chicago probably would have been better off staying quiet for the league’s trade deadline, but it at least drastically improved its defensive front with Sweat.
