Week 9 is upon us and the trade deadline is 3 weeks away so let’s quickly update and review upcoming deadlines.

The Froglickers and Mud are both 6-1 and tied atop the Paterno Division, with the Mud holding the tiebreaker via their head-to-head win over the Froglickers in week 4. The Wildcats (5-3) lead the Engle Divison with the Blowfish (4-3) and the Mustangs (4-4) just a game back. In the Cappelletti Divison, the Armadillos (4-3) are the lone team with a winning record.

Three division winners and top three wildcards will make the playoffs, which occur weeks 15-17 of the NFL schedule.

In the points race, the Froglickers currently lead the Wildcats by 7 points. The Mud (-64) and Blowfish (-70.5) are the only other teams less than 100 points back.

Kickoff week 12 is the trade deadline, which is the milestone for a few things:

• Trades – no trades after kickoff week 12
• Protection cutoff – players added to a roster after week 12 are not eligible for protection for 2025 season
• Waivers end – the drop/add process returns to first-come, first-serve after kickoff 12. Reminder that both players involved in a transaction must have completed their games for the week before dropped or added.

Other deadline reminders:

• DROP/ADD deadline for Running Backs and all Receivers is kickoff week 15.
• DROP/ADD deadline for Quarterbacks and Kickers is kickoff week 17.
