Why the trade deadline moved to week 11

After 17 trades in 2021 and a late-season fire sale in 2025, the league voted 8–4 to move the deadline a week earlier.

Why the trade deadline moved to week 11

The note

The note

The deadline is now Tuesday of week 11 at midnight. Trades need a majority league vote within 24 hours; the commissioner only breaks ties.

The change came after two teams out of the playoff race traded their best players to contenders in week 12 last season. Nobody broke a rule, and nobody enjoyed it.
