The trade deadline has been the story of the month this year, with a total of 15 players who moved teams. The biggest headline was the Washington Commanders trading away Chase Young and Montez Sweat, who are defensive linemen from the Commanders Young went to the 49ers, and Sweat joined the Bears. The Seahawks also looked to bolster their defensive line as well and traded for Leonard Williams. Williams is in his 8th year in the NFL and has 13 tackles over the past 5 games.
Another big story has been the triumph of quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Despite being traded from the Cardinals to the Vikings, the journeyman has found his footing, leading the Vikings to a massive win against the Atlanta Falcons.
