Commanders Unload Pass-Rushers & Vikings Add Quarterback at the NFL Trade Deadline
Tuesday was one of the quieter trade deadline days in recent memory for NFL fans. Only five last-day deals were made, but a few of them involved marquee players who could be difference-makers in the second half of the season. The Washington Commanders surrendered their 2023 season by trading DE Montez Sweat to the Bears and DE Chase Young to the 49ers in exchange for draft picks. The Vikings also traded for Cardinals QB Josh Dobbs — a deal that makes perfect sense for both teams with Kirk Cousins out for the season (Achilles) and Kyler Murray set to return. Here are all five trades from deadline day:
DE Chase Young (Commanders) → 49ers
Details: WAS Receives 3rd-Round Pick (2024)
DE Montez Sweat (Commanders) → Bears
Details: WAS Receives 2nd-Round Pick (2024)
WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (Browns) → Lions

QB Josh Dobbs (Cardinals) → Vikings

CB Rasul Douglas (Packers) → Bills
Details: GB Gets 3rd-Round Pick (2024)
