Out here building a winning plate like an NFL GM stacking his roster.

As of March 9, 2026, the National Football League trade frenzy is underway: the Dallas Cowboys land Rashan Gary, the New York Jets snag Minkah Fitzpatrick, and the Pittsburgh Steelers add Michael Pittman Jr. โ all before the March 11 league year. Like GMs rebuilding rosters, tonightโs dinner is about assembling a winning lineup from what youโve got.
“Put me in, coach,” this players bowl says.
