It’s unlikely to amount to much of anything before Tuesday’s trade deadline, but according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, every player on Oakland’s roster is available for a price, including Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.

When trade discussions first broke out concerning Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson, one of the teams that showed the most interest was St. Louis, as their receiving corps had been mediocre at best for the past two seasons.

It’s been a few days since rumors of a possible deal between New England and Seattle for wide receiver Deion Branch first surfaced, and while the connection is certainly there in Branch’s friendship with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, there’s been little from either side to indicate a deal was in the making up to this [...]

The outlook for Vincent Jackson has gone from bad to worse in recent weeks, with would be suitors falling by the wayside as the Chargers demands for compensation have not lessened in the slightest.

With Randy Moss now suiting up for the Vikings, it was only a matter of time before the rumors started up on a potential deal that would net the Patriots a young playmaking wide receiver in return. The one name that made the most sense, given the circumstances, was Vincent Jackson, who’s been embroiled in [...]

One day removed from sending Pro Bowl wide receiver Randy Moss back to Minnesota, the Patriots seem to have their sights set on re-acquiring an old friend themselves, in the form of wide receiver Deion Branch.
