It has already been a busy trade season in the NFL. We'll just use this thread to discuss any last-minute deals.

You don't often see a coordinator fired the day after a road win, but the Chargers have underperformed dramatically all year. Expected to be one of the top teams in the league, they currently rank 16th in offensive DVOA including 30th running the ball. 

Week 8 brings another major injury for one of the decade's most dominant defensive players, and another major injury to a NFC playoff contender.

Hey, remember Leonard Williams, the sixth overall pick in the 2015 draft? The Giants today traded for him, sending the Jets a third-round pick in 2020 and a fifth-rounder in 2021 that becomes a fourth-rounder if Williams signs a long-term deal with the G-Men.

Trade!

Wait, wasn't the trade deadline supposed to be next week? The NFL sure is getting started early. The San Francisco 49ers have acquired wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders from the Broncos along with a fifth-round pick for third- and fourth-round picks.

Wait, another Rutgers player? The New England Patriots have traded a second-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for wide receiver Mohamed Sanu.

Backs and receivers got off lightly in Week 7. Guys in the trenches, not so much.

It looks like the Kansas City Chiefs got good news on the MRI today for the knee injury suffered by Patrick Mahomes last night. No damage other than a dislocated kneecap. He'll miss at least three games.

Good research in this Yahoo! piece from our buddies at Sports Info Solutions finds that the risk of getting injured on a designed quarterback run is remote.
