The NFL trade deadline will hardly be the biggest news of the day on Nov. 3 when America votes for its next president. But by 4 p.m. ET, the NFL will have concluded its trading window until 2021 when we’ll get to reopen the discussion of who will get traded (even though they probably won’t.) Bengals receiver A.J.
