Every trade and signing calls take
426–450 of 1,947
Calvin Ridley to move — “sneaky rental”
Calvin Ridley WR, TEN — listed in Tier 3: Sneaky rentals among 25 potential trade chips
Saquon Barkley to move — “maybe it makes sense to move him”
With the Eagles seemingly out of contention and Barkley in his age-29 season, maybe it makes sense to move him.
Nahshon Wright to move — “sneaky rental”
he has not played a single defensive snap for the Jets this season after signing a one-year deal in free agency. What a bizarre situation. (listed among 25 potential trade chips)
Jauan Jennings to move — “potentially available for a Day 3 pick”
The marriage simply hasn't worked, which potentially makes Jennings available for a Day 3 pick.
Rashee Rice to move — “this is the last year we're going to see Rice play in Kansas City”
I think this is the last year we're going to see Rice play in Kansas City because he's also going to be a free agent at the end of the year.
Josh Downs to move to Kansas City Chiefs
I think that a great spot for him would be the Kansas City Chiefs, right? They're a team that needs wide receivers.
Josh Downs to move — “expects him to be traded”
The thing we did hear was Adam Schefter, I think it was, on McAfee had said that he expects him to be traded.
Josh Downs to move to Los Angeles Rams
What about the Rams? ... And I think if Downs went to the Rams, I could see having him as a wide receiver three the rest of the way.
Landon Dickerson to move — “No. 12 trade candidate in the NFL”
While writing that offensive lineman Landon Dickerson is the No. 12 trade candidate in the NFL, ESPN's Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler noted that "something feels off" between the team and player.
Landon Dickerson to move to Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers should be more than happy to swoop in here for a solid 28-year-old guard who has a few years left on his current deal... Trading for Dickerson isn't perfect, but it would be a step in the right direction
Quentin Johnston to move — “shipping Quentin Johnston to a contender”
They might want to consider shipping Quentin Johnston to a contender.
Khalil Mack to move to Chicago Bears
The Chargers need to trade Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears.
Landon Dickerson to move — “No. 12 trade candidate in the NFL”
While writing that offensive lineman Landon Dickerson is the No. 12 trade candidate in the NFL, ESPN's Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler noted that "something feels off" between the team and player.
J.K. Dobbins to stay with Denver Broncos
I doubt the Broncos trade Dobbins. ... it would take a serious offer to get Payton and company to give up on the veteran back.
Jonathan Taylor to move to New York Giants
And then you also consider the fact that is Jonathan Taylor going to be traded? I think that he's alive to end up becoming a New York giant.
Jermaine Johnson II to move — “dealt for a fourth-round pick”
It feels safe to assume Johnson could be had for much less than a second-round pick now... Seeing him be dealt for a fourth-round pick seems more likely based on that fact.
Quentin Johnston to move — “very obvious departure”
The Chargers getting anything back at all for Johnston’s very obvious departure would be a win at this point.
Quentin Johnston to move — “25 percent chance of being traded”
According to ESPN’s Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler ... They give him a 25 percent chance of being traded while listing the San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers as possible fits.
Quentin Johnston to move — “25 percent chance of being traded”
According to ESPN’s Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler, Johnston’s name is now “resurfacing his name in league circles.” They give him a 25 percent chance of being traded
Josh Downs to move — “a trade will eventually happen”
while a deal is not considered likely this week, the expectation is a trade will eventually happen, per sources
Josh Downs to move — “could be the next player out the door”
The Indianapolis Colts ' roster teardown is gaining momentum, and Josh Downs could be the next player out the door. ... With the Nov. 10 trade deadline approaching, the Colts must do right by Downs and get him into a better situation while picking up assets for the future simultaneously.
Josh Downs to move to New England Patriots
New England Patriots: Reuniting Drake Maye with his top college wideout makes sense.
Josh Downs to move to Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons could stand to make an addition at wide receiver as they continue this push for the NFC South.
Josh Downs to move to Kansas City Chiefs
Adding another weapon for Mahomes is necessary if the Chiefs want to return to the Super Bowl.
Josh Downs to move to Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles Rams ... We know Sean McVay loves his tight ends, but adding Downs would help Matthew Stafford and this passing offense.
