2021 NFL trade deadline winners and losers: Deshaun Watson stays put and loses, while Chiefs, Rams improve

With the NFL trade deadline over, here's a look at who won and who lost

The 2021 NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and there was more talking than there was "walking." A couple of big names were dealt such as Von Miller and Melvin Ingram, but there were other potentially splashy transactions that never came to fruition.

The main storyline to come out of the NFL trade deadline was that Deshaun Watson was not moved. The Houston Texans quarterback had been the subject of trade talks for weeks, but his outstanding legal issues made it difficult for a deal to be made. We will have to wait until next offseason to revisit this situation. 

There were both winners and losers on the final days of trades in the NFL (check out our grades here). Below, we will break down a few of both.
