ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that teams have contacted the Panthers to inquire about DeAngelo Williams prior to Tuesday's trade deadline.NFL Network's Michael Lombardi speculated as much on Friday, but this still seems like a long shot. Williams has three years left on his $43 million contract, so the cap hit would be enormous, making any potential trade unlikely. Carolina is handing the running back reins over to Jonathan Stewart, and with Mike Tolbert also in the fold, Williams is definitely expendable. Either way, Williams is unlikely to be in Carolina for the start of the 2013 season.
The Jets have no plans to trade Tim Tebow prior to Tuesday's trade deadline.Tebow has averaged just seven offensive snaps per game this year and has passed the ball just three times, but head coach Rex Ryan wants to get him more involved on offense moving forward. We've now heard from ESPN New York and the New York Daily News suggesting that Tebow isn't going anywhere. With owner Woody Johnson also in his corner, the gimmick quarterback and personal punt protector doesn't figure to be on the move. Tebow's role will likely remain limited.
from schefters twitter 1 minute agoSeen on ESPN just now that the Rams are taking offers on Steve Jackson.
ETA: teams that might need a rbpackersjetssteelerscardinalsbengalscolts? likely no, but i would like it if either sjax or dwill ended up hereOctober 28, 2012Rams have fielded trade inquiries for RB Steven Jackson over past few weeks in advance of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. Multiple teams have called the Rams to discuss Jackson's availability, and while the Rams are not proactively shopping Jackson, or any other player, they are willing to listen to offers.
might be a great stash through the weekend..Grab Daryl Richardson?
This probably should have been done 2 weeks ago in 12+ team leagues. I'd be all over it in your league if it hasn't happened yet. Worst case scenario is that you have 4-8pt bye week plug in guy if Sjax stays.Grab Daryl Richardson?

Big names could merit discussion at trade deadline, but not much activity expected
The NFL and NFLPA agreed to push back the trade deadline by two weeks, moving it now to the Tuesday after Week 8, hoping to spur more movement to what is generally a placid occasion. But with parity in full bloom -- and really being taken to the extreme in the AFC where almost no one is out of the playoff hunt nearing the midpoint of the season -- a survey of general managers and agents produced little expectation for significant wheeling-and-dealing this year.
Some big-name players have been talked about internally by other teams -- Rams running back Steven Jackson, Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe, Titans running back Chris Johnson -- but the likelihood of a trade for any of them is extremely remote, given their salaries and approaching availability on the free-agent market. Jackson has been banged up this season, and makes $7 million. Assuming the remainder of that deal would require significant investment for a 29-year-old player whose deal voids at the end of the season. Furthermore, you would have to entice the Rams with enough value in trade for them to believe it's worth more than the compensatory pick they would receive from the league for his departure.
“Those are very difficult trades to make,” one NFC exec said. “Budgets are set, so to get your owner to spend another $3 million on a veteran, now, in October, for a rental, that can be a tough sell.”
Bowe is expected to depart Kansas City as a free agent after the season, and is making $9.5 million on the franchise tag; as a franchise player he is not eligible to be extended until after the season (although some execs and agents, inspecting the particular CBA language involved, believe it could at least be worth asking the Management Council to make a determination on whether a new team could attempt to extend a franchise player they acquired). That severely limits the trade options, and there have been no trade talks involving Bowe as of the weekend, according to league sources, and none expected. Likewise, Johnson, who is set to make $10 million in 2013, with $9 million fully guaranteed shortly after the Super Bowl, is not expected back in Tennessee but few others teams would want to inherit that contract now.
Overall, there has been little trade chatter, even for role players, general managers said. “I haven't heard a thing,” said one GM who has been a willing deal-maker in the past. “It's crazy.” Said another aggressive GM: “I haven't heard a thing, honestly.”
However, several of those same execs said they would not be surprised if little-used back-up running back LeGarrette Blount of the Bucs was dealt by 4pm Tuesday. They also pointed to St. Louis receiver Steve Smith as a candidate and a backup quarterback like Colt McCoy (Cleveland) or Matt Moore (Miami), should a club like Arizona feel it needs to make a move with Kevin Kolb injured and John Skelton struggling.
There has been media speculation about the Jets possibly dealing Tim Tebow, given how little he has played and the sideshow that follows him in New York, but general managers point out there was no interest in Tebow last season, when he was coming off decent production relative to what he's done this year. Jacksonville was the only other interested team. There would be scant market for Tebow, and remember, Jets owner Woody Johnson was instrumental in a move that has business purposes beyond football. Johnson has said Tebow will be a Jet beyond this season, and he paid $2 million for the right to take on Tebow's contract as part of the trade with Denver. Johnson won't be eager to move on quickly after that commitment.
I tried to grab him in all of my leagues when the Rams hinted they would be selling 10 days ago but everyone had snagged him. 6 leagues and they all had picked him up within 30 minutes. These guys all are in on these things before news ins announced.Grab Daryl Richardson?
I would guess it would take a 2nd rounder and a 6th rounder, or maybe 2 thirds.What do you guys think the going rate is on Bowe? I would love the Vikings to pair him with Harvin if it isnt outrageously expensive. The trick is to getting him resigned for a couple years and also get Percy signed to an extension. I know Harvin has another year after this one but if they are smart they will lock him up this offseason and not wait on it.
I can't see anyone picking him up now, with that contract. He'll be cut and sign elsewhere in the offseason, though, I'm sure.The Charlotte Observer suspects DeAngelo Williams' days in Charlotte are numbered, "if not by Tuesday's trade deadline, then during the offseason.""Jonathan Stewart is now the featured back," confirms beat writer Joe Person. Stewart's Dynasty owners finally rejoice. It's telling that Williams was demoted as the Panthers overhauled their running scheme and fired the GM that handed him a ridiculous $43 million contract. Earning a prorated $5.25 million, Williams can be had for a song at the deadline. The Packers make sense as a landing spot, but it's not like GM Ted Thompson to part with draft picks. If Williams isn't moved, it seems the Panthers will cut him and swallow the $8 million cap hit in the offseason.
"Several" league executives tell CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora that they would not be surprised if LeGarrette Blount were shipped out of Tampa Bay prior to Tuesday's 4PM ET trade deadline.
The same execs named Rams WR Steve Smith, Browns QB Colt McCoy, and Dolphins QB Matt Moore as trade candidates, although the latter is much less likely with Ryan Tannehill coming off Week 8 knee and quad injuries. A Blount trade would probably the the least surprising of the group. The Bucs can move forward with D.J. Ware and rookie Michael Smith behind featured workhorse Doug Martin. We suspect they couldn't get back more than a sixth- or seventh-round pick.
His contract is ridiculous, but whatever team would pick him up would only be responsible for the 5mil, no guaranteed money past that. An expensive rental, but might be worth it depending on the situation.'RenegadeGM said:Rotoworld:

The Packers are winning with a mediocre running game. They pass in the redzone. I recall one year when Marshawn Lynch was traded to the Seahawks and we all thought Green Bay would make a play. It's not the way their GM works. He didn't give up draft picks for a talent like Lynch. I'm not sure if he will do the same this time around.A playoff/Super Bowl contender like the Packers in need of a RB could make this type of trade.His contract is ridiculous, but whatever team would pick him up would only be responsible for the 5mil, no guaranteed money past that.

I'm assuming their run game was more solidified at the time with some combination of Grant and Starks. Maybe it was just Grant? Either way, GB probably didn't come into this season thinking they'd ever have to rely on Green as anything more than a change of pace back. They did sign Benson after all. As for Starks, he must still be hurting or has regressed because there's no reason he shouldn't be touching the ball more with the way Green is playing. What I'm trying to say is, the run game is utterly infective right now, worse than it's been in a while. If GB would like to increase their odds of making it to the SB/winning the SB, it'd probably be a good idea to bring in a talented vet like SJax/Dwills.The Packers are winning with a mediocre running game.

Only thing ridiculous was their inability to realize that they should be running a career 5.0/ypc guy 20+ times a game. An average that exceeds Chris Johnson (who padded his average with a ton of 50+ yard runs.) 0.1 behind Adrian Peterson.If I got a guy averaging 5 ypc, I'm running his ### all day.His contract is ridiculous, but whatever team would pick him up would only be responsible for the 5mil, no guaranteed money past that.

NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal reports that the NFL is considering moving back the trade deadline due to Hurricane Sandy."It is being discussed and we will let the clubs know if a change is made," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told Rosenthal. The original trade deadline was set for Tuesday at 4PM ET, but "multiple" teams have shut down normal operations early this week due to the hurricane. The NFL offices are also closed, which could hinder paperwork approval of transactions. The NFL is hoping to "encourage" more trade action. They moved back the trade deadline two weeks during the offseason, and may do so again in-season.

lets remember tho too that Lynch kind of had a bad rap around that time and came with some character questions....by all accounts I have heard D Willy is more of a model citizen so to speak and is great in the community....the way he catches the ball, let alone runs it, makes me think he would be a great fit in GB offense...The Packers are winning with a mediocre running game.

Report: Tennessee Titans' Jared Cook requests tradeThe Nashville Tennessean reports "indications are" Jared Cook has requested a trade ahead of Tuesday's deadline.
Tennessee Titans tight end Jared Cook has not been used a ton in the Titans' offense this season, to the surprise of many fantasy football owners out there. Cook also doesn't sound happy about it.
Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean reports there are indications that Cook has requested a trade ahead of Thursday's extended NFL trading deadline.
Cook is in the final year of his contract, but we highly doubt the Titans would want to move him. They have not yet given up on the season at 3-5. If Cook leaves via free agency, they would get a compensatory pick in return. Most importantly, he's still too valuable to their offense.
Cook might be unhappy about his role, but he still ranks second on the team with 28 catches and 373 receiving yards. We'd be very surprised if the Titans move him.
Good point. If he is traded and they dont announce anything before the game, a lot of owners will be screwedWell this puts a cloud over Bowe's status for Thursday night football now that they moved the trade deadline. Teams usually do not complete or announce trades until the final hour. If Bowe is not in uniform for TNF then you know he is no longer a Chief.

Some follow-up info:Coach Mike Munchak "can't see a situation" where the Titans would trade Jared Cook.Munchak also insists Cook remains a "big part" of the Titans offense despite his limited snap counts. Cook has predictably denied requesting his trade, but it's likely just semantics (i.e., his agent requested a trade). Regardless, young players like Cook are almost never shipped away at the NFL trade deadline.The Nashville Tennessean reports "indications are" Jared Cook has requested a trade ahead of Tuesday's deadline.
That is a steal, if the Chiefs will allow a team to talk to his agent and try to get a contract done while they trade.Sounds like they want a third.I would guess it would take a 2nd rounder and a 6th rounder, or maybe 2 thirds.What do you guys think the going rate is on Bowe?
