Dante Fowler Jr going to the Rams. Good for us to build a little draft capital as we were never taking up his fifth year option; good for them to have a bit of help in the edge rush.
Haha Clinton-Dix going for a fourth is insanity from the Packers and very VERY good for the Redskins.
Ha-Ha a free agent this offseason I think and Packers weren't keeping him.
Ty Montgomery to the Ravens for a 7th rounder. He was averaging over 4.5 yards after contact in 2016. I imagine he'll be used more as a pass catching back though. Sneaky trade that and a good one for the Ravens I think.
Big real life trades. Thomas traded from Broncos to Texans and Golden Tate to the Eagles.
As a Broncos fan a bit gutted. His returns have diminished but he's not had a decent QB since 2014. Sutton looks good but he's not ready to be a lead WR IMO, he's too inconsistent and doesn't break free enough. I think we will regret this trade. And for a 3rd round pick? Not enough for a 4 time pro bowler who's only 30 given the lack of available talent at WR currently.
Feels like a give up and rebuild move, which is seriously disappointing this early on when we've been close in a lot of games.
So looking at NFC West, Seahawks really have a huge task. Rams 8-0, pretty much guarantees them the division unless something drastic happens.
So what record would you say we have to aim for now? can we afford to lose a couple more or just have to win pretty much every game now to get one of the best runner ups. Tough ask, shame as only just lost to Rams 20-23 (something along that lines) so could have been a huge difference 5-2 / 7-1 , vs 4-3 / 8-0
Looked into this a little more with a spare 5 minutes (only a quick look so may not be 100% accurate)
Last 10 years: 11-5 Only 1 team (Patriots 2008) have gone 11-5 and not made the playoffs. 10-6 32 teams have finished 10-6, 26 of those have made the playoffs 9-7 13 teams have made it to post season going 9-7, while 22 teams have failed with the same record
5 teams have made it without a winning record Chargers 2008 = went 8-8 Seahawks 2010 = went 7-9 Broncos 2011 = went 8-8 Packers 2013 = went 8-7-1 Panthers 2014 = went 7-8-1

Thanks great stats, maybe 2/3 losses should see it through from here doesn't seem as bad
Struggling to do either of the trades offered unfortunately, Thomas value has gone up for sure but he's had quite a lot of duff weeks. Don't think he'll replicate Fuller.
Jones and Ingram both have too high a floor to trade for a bit of a punt.
Er, whats the draft class looking like for 2019 as the Raiders are gonna be needing it big time.
Feel sorry for Carr. Noone to throw to and noone to protect him.
The 49ers defensive line is kind of useless at getting to the QB but they still managed to sack Carr 7 times. That Raiders team looked like they've given up before they even started the game.

Poor effort levels all round. How can any O-line be that bad?

This has got to be the most leftfield story of the season.
Anyone want to make me an offer?

And TRR - to be honest I think it'd have to be Allen, there's no other fit I don't think...

Don't think we can make a trade there
Speaking of which, I've sent a few out.
Saquon is the real deal. He's already a leader it seems - and it was awesome seeing him drink in AP's words at the end, too. This is great.
