The NFL trade deadline is here, as one of the most active days on the NFL calendar in recent years is hours away. The NFL has been pretty busy as teams look to improve their rosters for a playoff run or acquire draft picks in preparation for 2025 and beyond.

"I’m just looking at where we’re at with the team. We’re at .500. It’s my obligation to 53 players in the locker room to win football games.” Ballard has made a single NFL trade deadline deal in his eight years as general manager -- sending Nyheim Hines to Buffalo for Zach Moss and a fifth-round pick (that became tight end Will Mallory) -- and that only after Hines asked for a deal.
