Tuesday was one of the craziest days in regards to transactions that the NFL has seen in quite some time. We saw big names like Jimmy Graham, Haloti Ngata, Sam Bradford and Nick Foles traded and there were seemingly new reports and rumors popping up every 30 seconds.
Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt decided to poke fun of the hectic start to free agency, by proposing some hilarious fake trades involving movie characters.
SOURCES: 3-team, 3-sport trade. Adam Banks to T.C. Williams Titans, Henry Rowengartner to Mighty Ducks, Julius Cambell to Chicago Cubs.

I'm also hearing from sources that there are talks of a two-team swap for Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez and Jesus Shuttlesworth.

If Henry Rowengartner can re-gain his incredible arm strength, he represents an outstanding pickup for the Mighty Ducks. The kid would have one heck of a slap shot.
Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, as well as Atlanta Falcons quarterback T.J. Yates and Chicago Bears guard Kyle Long, then got in on the fun.
@JJWatt what about a package deal for Nuke Laloosh and Crash Davis for the Bash Brothers Dean Portman and Fulton Reed? #BigTimeTrades

@Bharper3407 I'm told from someone close to Portman & Reed that they refuse to split the Bash Brothers so Kenny Wu would have to be involved

@JJWatt Coach Bombay is set with Wu, sources wondering if they will go after Gunnar Stahl or maybe go get Hamilton "The Babe" Porter?

@JJWatt I'll give you Julie "The Cat" Gaffney for Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn

With how many scoops these players are coming up with, ESPN’s Adam Schefter might not have a job after all these guys ultimately retire.
