The NFL trade deadline is usually devoid of drama, but there has been a deal.
And if the guy involved fell into a pool, it would make a big splash.
The Eagles announced they traded 330-pound nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga and a sixth-round pick to the Patriots in exchange for a fifth-round pick.
Sopoaga has started seven games for the Eagles this season after coming over from the 49ers, but the Patriots had more of a need for him.
They were extremely thin after Vince Wilfork went down for the season, and Sopoaga gives them a serviceable player inside for a relatively small price.
