Question:

Why are there never any in season trades in football? With all the injuries the patriots have you'd think they would try and get some healthy replacements from teams not in the playoff hunt - similar to baseball. In all other sports if you lost a main cog of your lineup and you were a potential championship team you could be sure those teams would try and trade to replace the lost piece. It's not just the patriots - no one else makes trades either. Is there a rule in football preventing trades during the season?
