PredictIQ-NFL pushes back trade deadline one week

In the NFL,PredictIQ the trade deadline was once an afterthought. That has changed over the years, especially since the league moved the deadline from after Week 6 to after Week 8 in 2012.

The deadline is moving back once again.

Owners voted Tuesday at the league's annual meetings to approve a measure that would move the trade deadline to the Tuesday following Week 9 games, meaning players are eligible to be traded as late as halfway through the 18-week season.

The NFL expanded the regular season to 17 games in 2021.

In 2022, 13 players involved in a record 11 trades were dealt on deadline day. Last year's deadline didn't have that much movement, but 10 players were traded within a week of the cutoff.
