Browns Propose NFL Trade Deadline Shift to Week 10
Aiming to adapt to the expanded season and increase flexibility, the Cleveland Browns have submitted a proposal to move the NFL trade deadline to after Week 10.
- The Cleveland Browns have proposed moving the NFL trade deadline from Week 8 to Week 10, aiming to align with the league's expanded season and other major sports leagues.
- General Manager Andrew Berry highlighted that the current deadline does not reflect the season's extension to 17 games, and the change would offer teams more flexibility.
- The proposal seeks to enhance competitive integrity by allowing teams to make strategic decisions later in the season, potentially increasing trade activity.
- Berry expressed hope for the proposal to be considered at the annual league meeting in March, despite some early pushback from peers.
- The NFL's increasing trade activity in recent years underscores the need for a reevaluation of the trade deadline's timing.
