Forget what you might have heard about the NFL trade deadline. For the first time in a long time, players are being swapped before the buzzer, and things are getting interesting. It started with Buffalo sending All-Pro defensive tackle Marcell Dareus to Jacksonville on Friday. Since then, the Eagles picked up running back Jay Ajayi from the Dolphins, the Seahawks landed Pro Bowl offensive tackle Duane Brown from the Texans, and the 49ers might’ve acquired their quarterback of the future in trading for Jimmy Garoppolo from the Patriots. There’s a lot to keep track of, and it can get confusing, but we’ve got you covered. Read all of The Ringer’s coverage of the NFL trade deadline below.
