Welcome back to Deals & Deadlines — your weekly look at the BUSINESS behind sports with super-agent Hadley Engelhard and host Matt Chernoff. This week we break down a wild NFL trade deadline (Jets stockpile picks, star movement, and the Breece Hall offer that almost was), baseball’s monster World Series numbers, the SEC coaching carousel (and a spicy Lane Kiffin → Dolphins conversation), plus NBA ownership/legal drama and pickleball’s money surge. 👀 In this episode: Jets’ deadline strategy: moving elite talent for draft capital — smart reset or long winter for fans? The trade that didn’t happen: Chiefs’ offer for Breece Hall and why a round matters. Inside the player experience: how agents manage mid-season trades, travel, housing, and passports on the fly. World Series win for MLB TV ratings: what the spike means vs. the NFL’s weekly dominance. Dodgers back-to-back: payroll vs. player development — what really separates them.

Steve Ballmer lawsuit & league optics: why you probably won’t see a paper trail. Michael Jordan + NBC: how to package “fresh” content the smart way.
