The 7-0 Philadelphia Eagles bolstered their defensive line by trading for veteran defensive end Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears.

The Bears received a fourth-rounder in return as they look to cash in before he loses value at 32 years of age.

Despite this, he put up a monstrous 18.5 sacks in 2021 on a subpar Chicago team, so this could prove to be a shrewd pickup by the Eagles.


#2 - Deion Jones to the Cleveland Browns

Longtime Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones was traded by the team to the Cleveland Browns. The Falcons got a sixth-rounder, while also sending a seventh-round draft pick to the Browns.

Jones has been a stalwart in the Falcons defense ever since being drafted by the team back in 2016.

He was named to the Pro Bowl back in 2017, and so far in his career, he's amassed 652 tackles and 11 interceptions. He will bring a wealth of experience to an already solid Cleveland defense.


#1 - Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers

Superstar running back Christian McCaffrey was traded by the Carolina Panthers to the 49ers for a second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-round draft pick.

Despite his injury history, he’s featured prominently in 2022, seeing the 49ers pull the trigger.

So far, the move has paid off. In only his second game with the team against the Rams, he threw a touchdown, rushed for one and caught one. He became just the fourth player in NFL history to achieve the feat.
