Before Daron Payne suffered a season-ending injury, the Commanders were in trade talks
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Teams are trading key players well before the November 10 deadline to avoid the risk of injuries that could diminish a player's trade value.
- The Commanders were negotiating a trade for defensive tackle Daron Payne but lost that opportunity when he suffered a season-ending foot injury in practice.
- Payne, a 2018 first-round pick in the final year of his contract, now cannot be traded, and the Commanders must pay his remaining 2026 base salary of $16.4 million.
- This situation highlights that every game and practice acts as a practical deadline, as injuries can abruptly end trade possibilities.
