NFL pushes trade deadline to Thursday

New York, NY – The NFL announced Monday that the trading deadline has been pushed back to Thursday because of Hurricane Sandy.

The deadline originally was scheduled for Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, but has been delayed 48 hours due to the impending storm, which is expected to hammer the East Coast.

The NFL offices in New York have been shut down for Monday and Tuesday, making the paperwork for any potential trades difficult to complete.
