Question Can a player be traded with an injury designation? (1 Viewer)

Sorry fella, I can't be responsible for how you manage your insecurities. All I saw was, you asked a yes/no question, you got a 'no' and began throwing a little fit about it.

Don't ask questions if you only ever want an answer that agrees with your pre-supposed hypotheses. You'll frequently be disappointed.

TTFN.

You suggested it was a tin foil hat question. Which it wasn’t. Sorry that you can’t understand this. Maybe your education system failed you.

Thank you!

I wonder if there is contract verbiage in trade deals regarding these players?

For example, if they remove the injury designation from Devante Adams ( I’ve seen mentioned that he’ll be healthy next week) if he shows up after that has been removed and he does not pass a physical, does that cancel a trade? I believe it does. So it’s within the realm of possibility that the Saints would demand the player be removed from the injury report in order to protect themselves in a trade.

And it’s also within the realm of possibility that there are Saints players being traded in this deal to offset asking price for salary and draft capital requests. And if you wanted to make sure that player was clean on injury, you might sit the player who’s involved in trade discussions with a fake (or mild) injury designation to ensure they are also healthy when the trade is transacted.

This is called “reading the tea leaves” @TribuneUK you should try it.

Reading the tea leaves is sort of a necessity for real NFL fans who understand that NFL teams hide their plans as a default. Or you can just take everything they all tell you at face value and stick your heads completely in the sand.

Just say the players you think will be traded!

Pretty sure it was stated it would wait until week six because the Raiders are playing overseas and nothing would get done while they are away.

Payton Turner was suggested as a tradable asset elsewhere on the web. He’s the player I had in mind considering no one saw him get injured, he has trade value, and unlikely to get a new contract unless he has a big season without health issues. I don’t think he’ll be traded, but it seems possible that if they wanted to trade him, they might shut him down this week.
