Cleveland Browns among the NFL's biggest Trade Deadline losers

The NFL Trade deadline came and went without much action. However, that does not mean that it was a quiet day or a dead season of trading. There were rumors swirling all over the league about some possible major deals. Rumors surrounded players like Le'Veon Bell, Jamal Adams, Chris Harris and Patrick Peterson yesterday. Mohammad Sanu, Jalen Ramsey, and Emmanuel Sanders are just some of the names already traded during this season. The updated Super Bowl odds are available and we need to check out who you should be looking at now that the dust has settled.

Winners

San Francisco 49ers (+900)

The Niners continue to look more and more like a legit contender each week. They just improved their odds from +1125 after their blowout victory over the Carolina Panthers last week. The defense puts on a stellar performance every week, but now the offense may be a juggernaut as well. San Francisco picked up Emmanuel Sanders from the Denver Broncos for third and fourth round picks on October 22. In his first game for the 49ers, Sanders managed four catches for 25 yards and a touchdown on five targets, as the Niners put up 51 points. The No. 2 rushing offense and No. 1 total defense just added a passing weapon and this team might just be the best in the league.

Los Angeles Rams (+2200)

The Rams odds have surprisingly risen from +2175 last week. This may be due to the one deadline deal made yesterday, as they traded away Aqib Talib to the Miami Dolphins. Los Angeles may have sacrificed a little in the short term, but they have created a ton of cap space to sign Jalen Ramsey to a long-term contract extension. In the Rams' two games with Ramsey, they have allowed just 10 points per game. In the six games prior to acquiring Ramsey, they allowed 25.7 points per game. With an improved defense, the Rams will have an opportunity to make a run at the playoffs and can make some noise in January.

Losers

Philadelphia Eagles (+1800)

Philly's odds made a leap from +1925 after their impressive victory last week in Buffalo. However, their inability to pick up any secondary help in the trade market will ultimately be their undoing. Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib and Jalen Ramsey all hit the market this season. Jamal Adams, Chris Harris and Patrick Peterson were also being shopped around yesterday. The Eagles did not manage to land a single of these big name secondary players. The schedule gets much easier, but another loss to Dallas would put their playoff chances in serious jeopardy. I do not see them being able to stop the passing attack in a meaningful game even if they make the playoffs.

Cleveland Browns (+6600)

The Browns odds actually improved from +6850 after a defeat last week to New England. However, the Browns needed to boost their offensive line before the trade deadline to have any chance of competing this year. They failed to do so. Trent Williams and Nate Solder were two big names on the market yesterday, and they managed to grab neither. Baker Mayfield is the seventh most sacked quarterback thus far this season.

The Browns are also 21st in the league in net yards gained per passing attempt, so even when they complete passes, the time is not there to get the ball downfield to deep threats Odell Beckham and Antonio Callaway. The preseason favorites to compete with the likes of the Chiefs and Patriots, the Browns will need to revamp in the offseason before they will truly be ready to contend.
