Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline for trades in the NFL came and went with a whimper. The Detroit Lions did not make any moves in either direction.
No trade offers made sense for GM Bob Quinn or the Lions. As was the case with just about every NFL team, there was a lack of urgency and action. The only trades were minor moves by the Miami Dolphins. All NFL team offices and the league offices were closed on Tuesday for Election Day, which certainly didn’t help the trade market.
The Lions made their splash last week in acquiring DE Everson Griffen, who will make his debut in Week 9.
