Ronnie Brown Trade Voided: Jerome Harrison Injury Snags Deal

ESPN’s Adam Schefter explains why he failed: Philly doctors discovered Harrison had a brain tumor. Schefter reports that Harrison is not expected to play again in 2011 and the tumor is being treated. His long-term outlook on both life and his football career appear to be good, thankfully.

Schefter notes that the voided trade might have ultimately saved Harrison’s life.

Over at Pride of Detroit, Sean Yuille thinks the voided trade creates an awkward situation, leaving the Lions in a difficult spot moving forward.

On the other side, Bleeding Green Nation’s Jason Brewer isn’t too worried about the trade and the impact of it being voided.

There were plenty of others that were discussed but never materialized. Here’s a recap of the moves that were made and the ones that weren’t.

Raiders strike a deal for Carson Palmer. This is clearly the headliner of the 2011 NFL trade deadline. There usually aren’t a lot of major trades made near the deadline, let alone major trades involving quarterbacks, but the Raiders and Bengals were able to come to an agreement -- a 2012 first round pick and a conditional first in 2013 -- to send Palmer to Oakland. This is one of the biggest deadline deals in NFL history.

The NFL trade deadline was at 4:00 p.m. (ET) on Tuesday and news of this trade was made public right at the deadline.

This is a pretty minor trade considering each player is averaging about two touches per game. SB Nation’s Bleeding Green Nation and Pride of Detroit will have a full break down of the trade.
