On a side note, are offer sheets still allowed or has a deadline on them passed already?

Well if the Jets match an offer sheet and Trouba sits out until he is traded, he will be sitting out for at least 1 calendar year. Players who sign an offer sheet can't be traded for a calendar year, IIRC.
And yes he can still sign an offer sheet.
