To understand my question... I know in Major League Baseball, when their trading deadline passes, teams are still able to make trades but have to go through red tape (example: like clearing waivers or all teams in your division or league must clear the deal too).
I was wondering if something similar applies to the NFL in that teams can still trade after October 16, but must go through red tape now in order to pull it off? Or is the trading deadline rule literally rock solid that after it passes, no trades whatsoever?

The first answer is correct. The NFL trade deadline is just that - a true deadline, unlike baseball's not-quite-total deadline.

No trading after the deadline. A team can sign free agents off the street or if they have been cut by another team.

The trade deadline is final in the NFL. So teams can just sign players once they're waived by other teams.

there are no more tades permitted, that's why it's a trade deadline. Teams can sign players, pick-up free agents, activate injured players, etc. but the trade deadline is exactly that..a trade deadline.

I supply the Yankees an A- for the time decrease strikes they made. Getting Berkman became right into a especially good deal. We gave up Mark Melancon, yet Berkman supplies us a each and daily DH. optimistically that would not get rid of too plenty from the offense, because it relatively is been good the entire year. optimistically Berkman can return to type and supply our lineup that fairly greater help. i like the Kearns deal. We did no longer supply up too plenty for him and he supplies us a good, veteran bat off the bench. Colin Curtis became into great and that i think of he has a good destiny earlier than him, yet Kearns is purely greater matured and is a precise-exceeded bat (which skill we don't could place self belief in Marcus Thames for a precise-exceeded bat off the bench). As for the Kerry timber deal, i think of it relatively is okay. once I first heard of it, I wasn't loopy approximately it, because of the fact timber has no longer been very good this year (and became into ok final year), and his fly-ball fee has been trending upward (which does no longer translate nicely in Yankee Stadium). i'm unhappy to make certain my countryman Chan Ho Park flow (I desire he could have had of challenge at a hoop), yet he purely wasn't appearing nicely sufficient and the Yankees had to do what they had to do. optimistically timber supplies us a consistent and robust guy out of the bullpen and serves as a take-heed call to Joba Chamberlain to step it up. The Yankees addressed 3 areas the place they could have more suitable, and if the strikes paintings out as they deliberate, the Yankees are set to make yet another October push.

no there is no "waiver wire" trading in football. This was it, and congrats to the Chargers for getting Chris Chambers, they will be tough from here out.
