It felt like a fantasy football trade, and it caught the NFL world by surprise. Players were quick to crown a winner. A look at the reaction from across the league:

So Houston Texans sabotaging young greatness how the hell you trade that type of production. You already got a good RB in carlos and the other Wr you got can’t stay healthy for 5 games what a shame
