NOTE: ANY SUGGESTIONS USED IN THE FOLLOWING POST ARE FOR EXAMPLE USES ONLY. I AM NOT SAYING THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WE SHOULD TRADE/TRADE FOR.

So, the trade deadline came and went, without really much action. This happens in sports a lot. The trade deadline comes, someone makes a pretty big move, and then everyone else remains quiet. But, usually in baseball, and sometimes in NBA, you see a trade come down after the deadline. Not because it wasn't reported, either, but because of the waiver-wire trade system.

Does the NFL have something similar. Say, where we could call Washington, tell them what we offer for Jason Campbell, they push him through waivers where he has a week to clear, and then we give them what we said we could, and they ship us him?

I'm just not clear whether or not the NFL runs something similar, so that the trade deadline is effectively not the deadline.

Why is the trade deadline so early in the season?

From what I understand the NFL doesnt want the bad teams to know how bad they are. Like they wouldnt want a 0-8, 1-7 teams to trade all of their good players for draft picks. They dont want teams to clean house.

They dont the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.

They want to keep games competitve for the second half of the season. So its not like baseball when the Yankees/Redsox are beating up triple A players when they play Baltimore.

I think its a way to help keep parity.

This is what I have always heard.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      This is true. I think guys like TD, Luke, Jake, Gross, Trey Boston all have been positive and hopeful about Panther moves since they retired or left the team. They'll give their opinion about things but arent overly critical. Steve Smith has been critical but since becoming a media guy he's become more neutral, and since being part of the panthers media team (I think?) he's been more Pro-Panthers. Cam has been honest with his takes which I appreciate, and I think being PC in the media is something that won't suit him. Therefore, it makes sense why they'd prefer to not have him around media wise.

      I think a healthy Derrick Brown solves alot of problems with this current lineup. Losing him was huge. Remember, he usually plays every defensive snap. BTW, I think they should pull back from that. A guy that big should really be at around 70-75% snaps at most.  If they can draft a contributing rookie pass rusher or defensive tackle, and then bring in an above average pass rushing vet, I think this defense takes off - with a healthy D. Brown. Oh and lock up Horn asap. The longer they wait, the more it'll cost. Secondary is good enough - starters and depth. Inside LBs need an upgrade and/or depth injection. They aren't that far off. Injuries have hurt them a ton.

      Who mentioned Sanders or Ward?   You seem off your rocker about not drafting either QB.   I'm just telling you this franchise isn't going to win games until we find a franchise QB. Its really just a fact.
