We are into uncharted territories for even us Arizona Cardinals fans.
Never have we seen a trade accepted, a team deactivate a player for a game, while the trade has not been finalized and things are still pending, it is “done”.
Of course, unless they get a better offer before they finalize the deal on Monday, which is I guess why they are not letting Marv play today.
Genuine question, will the Cardinals be able to focus with this hanging over them? I know this professional sports, but it is such an odd situation, I just can’t imagine things are normal.
Anyways, lets hope the Cardinals are ready and can take advantage of a bad Lions defense.
