Per a league source close to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the Patriots are unsurprisingly looking to swing a deal for a running back at the trade deadline this year, and it will be interesting to see if any big-name players emerge as potential trade targets.

Seahawks running back
Marshawn Lynch's days could be numbered in Seattle, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network on Sunday.
Lynch was unhappy with the team after trading Percy Harvin to the Jets and has a "

Lynch has back-to-back seasons of 300-plus carries and is on pace for roughly 259 carries through six games this season. He is expected to earn approximately $5 million in 2015 before becoming a free agent in 2016.
