The October 29th NFL trade deadline is fast approaching, so in the coming days, teams in need of roster help will begin calling around the offices inquiring about player availability. Some teams, however, are already ahead of the curve.
On Sunday, ESPN reported that the Oakland Raiders had traded former first-round cornerback Gareon Conley to the Houston Texans in exchange for a third-round pick. That move was soon followed by the Patriots’ Monday night acquisition of Mohamed Sanu, who will leave the 1-6 Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a second-round draft choice.
