2022 NFL trade deadline takeaways: All the biggest moves, and how they impact Eagles
The 2022 NFL Trade Deadline was the most active and historic day in league history, with 12 trades made on Tuesday leading up to the 4 p.m. ET deadline.
Prior to Tuesday, two big moves were already made after Carolina sent Christian McCaffery to San Francisco and Robert Quinn moved from Chicago to Philadelphia
Blockbuster deals were made, with the Vikings looking to keep pace with the Eagles by going out and acquiring pass-catching tight end T.J. Hockenson from the Lions.

Hines is headed to Buffalo in a trade that’ll see Indianapolis receive running back Zack Moss and a conditional 2023 sixth-round pick in the deal.
Hines has recorded 224 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown in seven games played this year, and the Eagles miss out on a dual-threat pass-catching running back.
