Players that could be on the move at the trade deadline
The trade deadline is here and there are veterans that could help some teams down the stretch to make a playoff run, here are a couple of them that could be on the move before 4 p.m.
Joe Thomas LT Cleveland Browns
Thomas has been a staple of the organization but it's time to keep the rebuilding process going and they could get nice compensation for him in return. Best Fit: Seahawks, Packers, Vikings
Alshon Jeffery WR Chicago Bears
The Bears have a big decision to make and this may be a big risk but it's one they will have to take. They could get his replacement in next year's free agent market, so trading him for picks could make plenty of sense here. Best fit: Titans, Patriots, Falcons
Jabaal Sheard DE New England Patriots
The Patriots have dealt Collins already and they could be still moving players. Sheard's contract also makes him expendable today, Belichick is known for finding late round gems in the draft, so a 5th round pick here is right on the money. Best fit: Steelers, Cowboys, 49ers
Sheldon Richardson DL New York Jets
As I stated before the contract of Wilkerson and Leonard Williams make this move more likely to happen and RRichardson's trade value is at its peek so makes sense to get the right deal. Best Fit: Falcons, Texans, Colts, Lions
Joe Haden CB Cleveland Browns
The veteran has seen his better days in CleVeland and getting him out of there may be more likely than Thomas. He will not re-sign after his current deal so getting what then can now is the best bet. Best fit: Steelers, Cardinals, Raiders
Eric Reid S San Francisco 49ers
Reid is in the last year of his rookie deal and Chip Kelly is known for wheeling and dealing, so getting top dollar for a safety like Reid could Reid entice Kelly and management. Best fit: Steelers, Ravens, Eagles, Colts
Markus Wheaton WR Pittsburgh Steelers
Sammie Coates is finally emerging as a target for Big Ben and this means someone has to be moved and Wheaton would be the odd man out. He can become a solid target elsewhere so look for a decent market for him. Best fit: Titans, Bears, Chiefs, Vikings
Eric Berry S Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs haven't made an offer to Berry's liking so a trade here is good for both parties. Berry is still worth a 2nd round pick or two mid-round picks, so the Chiefs would cash in. Best fit: Steelers, Colts, Falcons, Redskins, Raiders
Michael Floyd WR Arizona Cardinals
Floyd has not lived up to the hype in 2016 and with Brown and Nelson picking up his slack, Floyd becomes expendable, maybe finding his replacement in next year's draft. Best fit: Vikings, Saints, Bills, Titans
