BillyBalata Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The NFL has pushed the trading deadline back to the Tuesday after the eighth week of the season. It's a much-needed change. Previously, the deadline was the Tuesday following Week 6, not giving teams enough time to decide if they're buyers or sellers. The extra two weeks has the potential to generate more trades. Also, the league announced that there will be a new "injured reserve exception" going forward. One player per team will be allowed to come off IR at some point later in the season.

Big John Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Did the players union finally accept that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Anybody else notice Schefter's tweet said "MFL". I suppose this is for 2012 season since it doesn't say otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Reading up further, it is starting this year, but for a player to be eligable to be taken off IR after week 8, he must be on the active 53-man roster as on 9/4.
