The NFL just can’t stop itself from gobbling up everything in our collective sports consciousness.

Remember when the NBA used to own Christmas Day? Now it’s football’s domain. Remember when spring was about baseball? Now it’s about the NFL Draft. And now the NFL is encroaching on another area it used to cede to other sports: the trade deadline.

The NFL trade deadline used to be a random date in the winter that nobody paid attention to, a complete nonfactor. Now it’s a bona fide event. The 2026 edition was fun, a whirlwind of activity, with several big names swapping jerseys and potentially altering the playoff landscape.

Mike Silver breaks it all down here — make sure to check it out before tackling this week’s quiz because now it matters.
