8 Players NFL Teams Are Absolutely Desperate to Trade

With the latest news that NFL players are set to vote Monday on the pending collective bargaining agreement, according to sources, now we can start thinking about potential trades that can occur later this month. 

There are certainly many players on the trading block, and some of those players teams desperately want to ship away.

Here are eight players that teams desperately want to trade.

Donovan McNabb

Donovan McNabb's first-year stats were certainly bumpy, but they weren't as bumpy as his relationship with head coach Mike Shanahan. 

There's no surprise that McNabb and Shanahan aren't quite the ideal fit in Washington, especially with McNabb's benching back in Week 8 during their loss against the Detroit Lions. 

Shanahan's reasoning behind McNabb's benching was his poor cardiovascular endurance and his lack of familiarity with the team's two-minute offense, according to Chris Chase of Yahoo! Sports. 

The McNabb and Shanahan marriage will definitely end this off-season, as the Redskins will actively pursue trading the 34-year-old passer, according to the Washington Times. 

Vince Young

The Tennessee Titans may be in a bad situation with their former first round pick as they could end up only cutting Vince Young rather than offering him up for trade, according to the The Tennessean.  

Young has been a mediocre quarterback at best as he's thrown a total of 42 touchdowns and the equal amount of interceptions while posting a 75.7 quarterback rating. Although, Young has proven to be a winner, as his career record as a starter is 30-17.

To sum up the dilemma in Tennessee, Young is simply not in their plans for the future, especially with their recent eighth overall selection in this past draft, Jake Locker. 

Chad Ochocinco

It's pretty clear that if Chad Ochocinco remains a Cincinnati Bengal in 2011, then he'll likely explode and become the ultimate distraction. 

Ochocinco's time has run out in Cincy and he'll likely be shipped out of town a few days after the lockout is lifted and the team is 100 percent sure that rookie A.J. Green can be a reliable replacement, according to Bengals.com. 

Many are questioning Ochocinco's dedication and focus on football, including the Bengals owner Mike Brown. 

NFL Network's Michael Lombardi summed it up perfectly in a piece back in May as he states that Ochocinco has "gone off of the deep end" and has certainly lost his edge.

Lombardi reports, and I strongly believe, that Ochocinco's downfall began back in the 2010 playoffs when he was man-handled by New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, after a week of trash-talk. 

Since then, Ochocinco has spent off-seasons focusing on Twitter, soccer, bull-riding, dancing and pretty much anything that does not involve his job as a NFL wide receiver. 

Albert Haynesworth

Like quarterback Donovan McNabb, Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth simply does not mix well with head coach Mike Shanahan. 

Haynesworth played only a total of eight games in 2010 was he racked up 13 tackles and only three sacks—pretty under-achieving for a player who signed a $100 million contract back in 2009.

Shanahan not only questions Haynesworth's ability to be a team player but his overall physical condition as he failed the team's conditioning test prior to the start of the 2010 season.

It will definitely be hard to move the enormous body of Haynesworth along with his equally enormous contract, but the 'Skins are definitely desperate to trade him. 

Carson Palmer

Carson Palmer made it 100 percent clear that he does not want to be a member of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2011 as he openly requested a trade out of town or that he'll simply hang up the cleats if his demands are not met. 

Since his request, there has been no progress on either side as both sides are not "budging," according to Bengals.com. 

Palmer is certainly a serviceable quarterback, but has seen his production take a notable dip over the past few years, as he's thrown 33 interceptions over the past two seasons. 

Vincent Jackson

Vincent Jackson's time in San Diego is definitely limited—especially with his absurd and selfish antics during the lockout, as he demanded $10 million or a free pass to free agency due to the San Diego Chargers placing their franchise tag on the 28-year-old wide receiver. 

Some may believe that V-Jax will be a Charger in 2011, but I certainly don't think so. Jackson has somewhat burnt bridges with the Chargers organization and has forced himself onto the trading block once the lockout is finally lifted. 

Kevin Kolb

With the emergence of Michael Vick, quarterback Kevin Kolb is no longer in the future plans for the Philadelphia Eagles. 

The lockout has certainly held back any potential trades involving Kolb, but it's rather clear that Kolb is certainly the best option for a quarterback on the market entering free agency. 

Many believe that it's 100 percent definite that Kolb will become an Arizona Cardinal once the lockout is finally lifted. In fact, ESPN's Sal Paolantonio mentioned on The Herd radio show that Kolb is already taking a look at Arizona real estate. 

Reggie Bush

As the New Orleans Saints selected Mark Ingram with the team's 28th overall selection in this year's draft, it's pretty much clear that the Saints do not believe that Reggie Bush will develop into the team's lead back entering 2011. 

Bush is set to make $11.8 million this season and will not take a pay cut, according to NFL Network's Michael Lombardi. 

The 26-year-old has had a rather disappointing NFL career as he had so much hype leaving the college level.

Bush hasn't been able to stay healthy, as he only played one entire season back in his rookie year and hasn't been able to develop into a true threat on the ground.

$11.8 million is simply too much for a situational player; the Saints desperately want to trade Bush.
