The NFL trade deadline is rarely as eventful as fans hope it will be. Unlike the NBA and MLB, trading for players midseason and incorporating them effectively is easier said than done. Draft capital is also far more important in the NFL, making teams hesitant to part with their picks. Still, teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers are always looking to improve in any way they can.
That's why they were heavily rumored to be looking for roster upgrades at this year's deadline. Ultimately, no deals transpired, but some blockbuster moves shook the NFL world courtesy of the New York Jets.
