By the standards of a typical NFL trade deadline, Tuesday was utter chaos. When the dust settled at 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 1, teams had completed 10 deadline-day deals, doubling the prior record from 2018. The big deals seemed to escalate in importance, culminating in the Broncos dealing edge rusher Bradley Chubb to the Dolphins.
Naturally, in the haze of a frantic deadline day, a lot of questions go unanswered and assumptions unchecked. After having 36 hours to digest everything that happened, I want to run through some of those ideas and try to see whether they check out.
