NFL trade deadline 2021 live updates: Latest news as Melvin Ingram, Von Miller move and Deshaun Watson stays put The NFL trade deadline is today at 4 p.m. ET, and it provides teams with the last chance to strengthen their rosters or sell their assets before the surge toward the postseason.Two significant deals for pass rushers have already been completed as the Broncos sent Von Miller to the Rams in exchange for a pair of draft picks and the Steelers sent Melvin Ingram to the Chiefs for a sixth-round pick. Meanwhile The Athletic"s Jeff Howe reports that Deshaun Watson won"t be traded today.They may not be the only ones on the move, of course. The Athletic compiled a team-by-team list of players who are most likely to be traded, as well as a shopper"s guide to potential targets on offense and on defense. Plus, Sheil Kapadia is grading the major trades as they"re completed.(Photo of Von Miller: Jamie Schwaberow / Getty Images)Updated 1d ago
