2016 NFL Trades

Although the NFL isn’t typically considered a trade-happy league, that reputation has been earned due to a lack of major trade-deadline activity, and doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story. In the NFL’s offseasons, big-name players and early-round draft picks change hands with greater frequency, as trades serve as a key tool for teams looking to upgrade their rosters or accelerate a rebuild.

We’ve already seen plenty of trades consummated since the 2016 league year began on March 9th, and with the draft not too far off, several more deals figure to be completed this spring. We’ll track those moves – and the rest of the year’s trades, right up until the fall deadline – in this space. You can find this page, our 2016 NFL trade tracker, on our right-hand sidebar under the “PFR Features” menu at any time.
