The NFL deadline is here and that means trade rumors for trades that likely will not happen and on Tuesday some names that have come up include Greg Jennings, Wes Welker, Kendall Wright, Jared Cook, Nate Washington, Mike Williams and Doug Martin and those players all could make impacts if they are moved and the Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos or Seattle Seahawks could be involved.
Jason La Canfora at CBS Sports put together a big list and while he cautions that many of these deals likely will not go down, he writes that those names could be potential targets. Wright and Washington are on the Titans and with Tennessee likely in rebuilding mode, they could try and move those players for picks. Wright is a speedy receiver and Washington is an option for teams looking for veteran options and that makes the Seahawks a possible partner.
The Rams have been up and down this season and Jared Cook has been looked at as a potential option for teams to trade for. The tight end position has become quite the weapon and while he is not a big name like Jimmy Graham, the Seahawks could look at a deal. The Seahawks reportedly offered Percy Harvin for Jordan Cameron to the Browns and for Julius Thomas to the Broncos and Cook could be a solid replacement if the team is still interested in a TE.
The Vikings have not been very good this season and with Jennings heading out the door soon, he could be moved. Jennings is a solid wideout and he could be a great pickup for a team heading to the playoffs. The Giants could be in the market for one of the WRs mentioned, as they have lost Victor Cruz for the season. The Giants love Odell Beckham, but they may need more than him and Rueben Randle to make up for the loss of Cruz this year.
Wes Welker has come up in rumors, but that doesn't make much sense even with Emmanuel Sanders passing over him in the offense. Peyton Manning loves Welker and he is perfect for that offense and he likely is not going anywhere. Mike Williams was shopped earlier this season and he has not been productive and it's likely the Bills only could get a low draft pick for him if they make a deal.
Some other names that have come up in rumors include Pierre Garcon and Lance Briggs, as both those players have decent deals and could get moved by their teams. The Redskins now have DeSean Jackson and with a number of players coming up on new contracts, Garcon could be one that gets moved. The trade deadline often comes and goes without any major deals and this year likely will be the same.
Trent Richardson was traded earlier than the deadline last season and that led many to believe more was coming, but there was only one real deal at the deadline. This season Harvin was moved and now some think the same as they did last year, as names like Larry Fitzgerald and Vincent Jackson could get moved. It's starting to look like no big names will be traded this year in the NFL at the trading deadline.
