Every trade and signing calls take
401–425 of 1,947
Kirk Cousins to move to Minnesota Vikings
If head coach Kevin O'Connell believes that the former No. 1 overall pick is holding the team back, the 15-year veteran could return to Minnesota.
Khalil Mack to stay with Los Angeles Chargers
The reason I don't see the Chargers trading Mack is that they haven't fired offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
Maxx Crosby to stay with Las Vegas Raiders
Unfortunately, I doubt the 49ers can bring Crosby in. The Raiders are unlikely to be sellers, despite it making sense, especially since trading Crosby already failed once before.
Garrett Wilson to move — “no chance of being traded to the 49ers; "it'll never happen"”
Unfortunately, Wilson has no chance of being traded to the 49ers. There hasn't been a single notion that the Jets are considering it.
Donte Jackson to move — “potential trade chip”
Cornerbacks can be hard to find, and the veteran Jackson is on an expiring deal.
Brian Thomas Jr. to move — “could benefit from a change of scenery”
Speaking of changes of scenery, BTJ could benefit from one. ... The Jaguars would want something decent in return for their former first-round pick, but they just don't trust him at this point.
Quentin Johnston to move — “potential trade chip”
Quentin Johnston WR, LAC — listed in Tier 2: Discount playmakers among 25 potential trade chips
Tony Pollard to move — “would come much cheaper in a trade”
maybe we should be talking more about Tony Pollard. He's on an expiring deal, would come much cheaper in a trade
Budda Baker to move — “if Arizona elected to part ways with him”
Baker is still making plays every week and would be a true game-changing addition for a team if Arizona elected to part ways with him.
Jonathan Taylor to move — “available at the trade deadline”
The Colts' star running back is one of the top players available at the trade deadline — if he is indeed available at the trade deadline. As Indy continues to lose games at 2-5, it could become more realistic.
Josh Downs to move — “should be available”
If the Colts are selling off pieces, then Josh Downs should be available.
Kelee Ringo to move — “needs a change of scenery”
I think Ringo, who is in the final year of his rookie deal, needs a change of scenery.
Amani Hooker to move — “could be moved if they found a good offer”
I'm not sure the Titans are actively shopping Hooker, but he could be moved if they found a good offer.
Tuli Tuipulotu to move — “potential trade chip”
Khalil Mack is the Chargers' pass rusher everyone is talking about, but LA has another intriguing talent in Tuipulotu. (listed among 25 potential trade chips)
Marquise Brown to move — “could be a cheap trade chip for a receiver-needy team at the deadline”
He could be a cheap trade chip for a receiver-needy team at the deadline.
Josh Sweat to move — “could be looking for a new home”
now that Gannon has been fired, Sweat could be looking for a new home.
Kayvon Thibodeaux to move — “rumored trade candidate; that could change”
Thibodeaux has been a rumored trade candidate for quite some time now, but no partner has emerged. That could change since there are just 10 games remaining on his rookie deal.
Cedric Gray to move — “that would make him available”
Maybe Robert Saleh doesn't view Gray as a fit in his scheme. That would make him available.
Joshua Uche to move — “could come cheaper than someone like Chop Robinson”
A veteran pass rusher ... he could come cheaper than someone like Chop Robinson.
Jerry Jeudy to move — “needs a change of scenery where he can see more targets”
He needs a change of scenery where he can see more targets.
Shedeur Sanders to stay put
I'm not sure there's a clear-cut landing spot for a backup/developmental quarterback, but Sanders could be available if a team is interested.
Kristian Fulton to move — “potential trade chip”
Fulton hasn't played more than 25% of defensive snaps in each of the last three games. (listed among 25 potential trade chips)
Khalil Mack to move — “a talked-about trade chip”
The veteran Mack has recorded three sacks in six games this season and has been a talked-about trade chip for weeks now. He's on an expiring deal playing for a winless team.
Daron Payne to move — “a change of scenery would do him well”
A former Pro Bowl interior lineman in his age-29 season on an expiring deal whose production has dipped in recent years. A change of scenery would do him well
Maxx Crosby to move — “could he be looking for a change of scenery again?”
now that Vegas has lost four straight games, could he be looking for a change of scenery again?
