Why These NFL Trades Actually Make Sense! | HARD PASS Ep. 61

The NFL trade deadline featured the third most trades since 1990 and there were some BIG ones. The Jets are in full rebuild mode, trading off a couple of their biggest stars to the Cowboys and Colts… and fans have been debating whether those deals were smart or not. Doug Kezirian likes what they did, and he explains why 👀

Critics are saying Dallas should’ve waited and the Colts mortgaged the future, but context matters. These aren't fantasy football trades, this is real roster building in the middle of a season where timing and windows matter. Could these moves change playoff hopes? Only time will tell.

Doug breaks down why the Cowboys going all-in on Quinnen Williams actually makes sense for the long-term, why the Colts swinging big for Sauce Gardner fits where they are right now as a contender, and why sometimes you just have to capitalize on the moment.

Plus, Doug dives into other under-the-radar deadline moves from the Chargers, Seahawks, and Jaguars, and explains why the internet’s hot takes often ignore how front offices actually think.

“Given all the circumstances, the Colts did a great job, and the Cowboys actually made a decent deal.” – Doug Kezirian
