Will the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers stand their ground and keep Elijah Moore and Bryan Burns, respectively? Are the Denver Broncos looking to clear their deck after a disappointing start to the season? And where could free agent Odell Beckham Jr be?
The NFL equivalent of Transfer Deadline Day is here, with teams unable to trade players after the Tuesday, November 1st deadline at 4:00 pm ET (8:00 pm UK time).
Whatever the motivation, here we take a look at 10 players who could be on the move on Tuesday’s trading deadline day, including one well-known wild…
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are the most obvious team that could benefit from a solid wide receiver. And in the NFL, they’re not much better than Brandin Cooks.
Cooks has long been a common player when it comes to trade speculation, and that remains true this season as the 29-year-old rots in the one-win Houston Texans with no playoff or playoff hopes. early stages of an unattractive recovery.
Cooks has amassed over 1,000 yards in six of his eight seasons in the league, including 1,037 yards and six touchdowns from 90 passes last year. The Packers, in particular, can only look forward to such production from their ragtag group of wide receivers, who contributed to a shocking 3-5 start to the season and were criticized by Rodgers.
Rumor has it that the Denver Broncos may try to clean up the mess and swap assets after a desperately disappointing start to the season — sitting 3-5 in eight games — and with star wide receiver Jerry Judy at the center of such conversations.
Judy was spotted at the New York airport last week and the Giants were desperate for help on the receiver, was it more than just a coincidence? Alabama, a first-round third-year draft pick, was also tied with the Miami Dolphins during the off-season…although they currently hold that position. Either way, look out for Judy and the Broncos, and fellow K.J. Hamler is also said to be on the trading bloc.
How Russell Wilson should feel about such speculation, can you imagine? The 33-year-old quarterback was forced out of Seattle when the Seahawks began the recovery process, so the prospect of Denver tearing apart their talented lineup might not be too appealing. However, the new $245 million contract he signed will surely help soften the blow.
With the sacking of Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rule, teams across the league are eyeing to see if there are any deals that can be made as the team sits last in the NFC South standings.
