Per the attached article by Charles Robinson here are some players that should be traded:
Randy Moss from Oakland to Baltimore. Baltimore needs the WR help and Moss wants out of Oakland. “Of course, it's all meaningless unless the Ravens have the guts to take a leap, and the Raiders are willing to pick up the phone. History says that just because a trade makes sense doesn't mean it will happen. But of all the ones that seem to fit, this one deserves a shot.â€
Brett Favre from Green Bay to Kansas City
Matt Schaub from Atlanta to Oakland
Chris Brown Tennessee to Seattle
Michael Turner San Diego to Houston
“The price tag? Few teams are willing to trade a first-round pick for running backs these days, and this probably isn't an exception. It would likely take a package of picks, including a second rounder.â€
Jerry Porter from Oakland to Minnesota
I feel he is a moron for suggesting most of these. No player in football gets traded mid-season to be productive for that season. Not happening. Unless the offense or defense he is going to is extremely similar to the one he left. With all the different terminology and systems it is too much to ask for a player to pick it up in a week or two. A player can be in a situational role but not the QB, or the lead RB
If I was Houston – hell if I was the Pats – I would trade a #2 for Mike Turner right now. The guy looks to be – at worst – a Rudi Johnson like workhorse.
Here are guys that should be traded and why
RB Mike Pittman – Tampa Bay: Tampa is 0-4 and going nowhere. Cadillac is the future at RB. Pittman is a big back (6’0†225 lbs) who has great hands (2 season with 70+ receptions). He also returns kick-offs. A team like Philly that is in to win this year and needs a big back to go along with Westbrook could use him. Playbook would need to be smaller for him (few dives and some pass plays) but he would add value.
DE Simeon Rice – Tampa Bay: Again TB stinks, the D is getting older and Rice could help out a team as a situational pass rusher to start and maybe work into a bigger role.
RB TJ Duckett – Any team looking for a goal line back should be calling Washington and asking if they will take a 4th rounder for a guy that is never on the active roster.
DL – Miami – Any team looking for some D-line help should call the 1-4 Dolphins. Between DEs David Bowens, Kevin Carter, Vonnie Holliday DE and DTs Keith Traylor, Dan Wilkinson, Jeff Zgonina there are a few older players that could be plugged into a DL rotation on a team looking to make a play-off run.
