Let’s begin a trade notebook without the use of a hackneyed reference to the 4 p.m. ET NFL trade deadline being on the same day as the election. We’ve all heard the jokes, and they were never all that funny.
Let’s also begin with the blanket caveat that teams, especially those in contention, call other teams who aren’t in contention just to see if their star player could be dealt at some absurdly low price. Yes, teams have called the Cleveland Browns about Myles Garrett. No, the Browns have not been and are not interested in dealing the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
I thought Mickey Loomis said it well earlier this week on WWL Radio.
