Around the NFC East: Trade deadline edition
This week, Washington made an upgrade in the secondary, Dallas traded for receivers like it’s 2008, and the New York fire-sale fizzled faster than Eli Apple’s Giants career. Here’s what happened, and what’s happening, this week in the NFC East: New York Giants (1-7) ICYMI: Odell Beckham made some one-handed catches, Saquon Barkley ran around dudes, and Eli Manning...
