Giants trade Damon Harrison to Lions, Eli Apple to Saints. The Giants officially threw in the towel on the 2018 season by trading two of their defensive starters. First they shipped Apple to New Orleans for fourth and seventh round picks, then the next day traded Harrison to the Lions for a fifth-rounder. The Giants have only one win, and are full-blown sellers as we approach the trade deadline. It’s highly possible we see more trades out of the Big Apple, as well as potentially a new quarterback under center after the Giants’ bye week.
Will Fuller tears his ACL. The Texans are on a five game winning streak and in sole possession of first place in the AFC South, but were dealt a brutal blow when it was revealed that Fuller had torn his ACL and would miss the rest of the season. The Texans’ offense always reaches a new level when Fuller is able to stay healthy, but Houston has had terrible injury luck recently. This should significantly hurt the offense moving forward, and could halt the momentum of the team altogether.
Patrick Peterson saga. Earlier this week, it was reported that Peterson had requested a trade. Rumors swirled for a day or two, with both the Saints and Eagles being mentioned as possible destinations. Then, Peterson suddenly announced he had changed his mind and was committed to Arizona long-term. It was a strange couple of days, and a meeting between Peterson and team Michael Bidwill reportedly played a strong role in the reversal.
DeSean Jackson requests trade. Speaking of trade requests, Jackson reportedly also made one to Tampa Bay management. Jackson is apparently unhappy with his role and the situation with the Buccaneers, but Tampa Bay is all in on 2018 and has no interest in trading him. With a loss today to the Bengals, it’s possible that attitude changes and the team reconsiders.
Broncos release Chad Kelly. A bizarre situation unfolded in Denver, when Kelly was released following his arrest earlier this week. Kelly was arrested following a Halloween party hosted by Von Miller, when he reportedly stumbled into a strangers home and refused to leave. It came at an unfortunate time for Kelly, as many fans and analysts had been calling for him to replace Case Keenum in the lineup and it was looking like he might eventually get some playing time.
