Wizards' GM Dawkins Details Trade Deadline Moves, Eyes Future

The Washington Wizards recently underwent significant changes during the trade deadline, as GM Will Dawkins reflected on the organization’s shift towards long-term planning, moving away from some key players to build for the future. Meanwhile, the New York Giants face uncertainty regarding offensive tackle Evan Neal, who might not have his fifth-year option exercised due to underperformance, but could benefit from a trade to another team. In the NFL, Deebo Samuel has requested permission to seek a trade from the San Francisco 49ers, with potential suitors eyeing his versatility despite contract complications. The New York Jets have decided to part ways with Aaron Rodgers, leading to speculation about a possible trade for Davante Adams, who is also likely to leave the team given his high cap number. Adams is reportedly interested in a West Coast team, further complicating the Jets' plans as they navigate their future roster decisions. These developments highlight a broader trend of teams reassessing their rosters and strategies as they move into the offseason.
