Question -
I've never really followed NFL too much, except for the past 2-3 years. I mean, I watched Peyton, followed the Titans a little bit, kept up with VFLs that were in the pros and tuned in for the Super Bowl, but as far as following the season goes, I've always been more into college football.
Anyway, it seems the Pats have but one QB left on their roster. And he's a good one. My question is regarding this mid-season trade deadline. What does it mean, exactly? Is it now impossible for them to pick up another QB? If Brady gets hurt, are the Pats just left playing a wide-out who played hasn't played QB since high school?
I googled it but just came up with a bunch of articles about what specific teams should and shouldn't do, but not nuts and bolts of the rules.
