NFL Trade Rumors: Which Teams Will Become Super Bowl Locks with Reggie Wayne?

The Indianapolis Colts' season took a nose dive before the season started, when starting quarterback Peyton Manning went under the knife for a second time to have surgery on his neck. 

After starting 0-5 on the season, it looks like the season may be killed off and buried into the ground if the Colts decide to trade Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne. 

Recently, ESPN football expert Adam Schefter said on a ESPN Radio, “It was one of those deals that should happen type of things.” And he suggested a fourth-round pick in exchange for Wayne.

He made this comment when the hosts were doing a segment where they were playing general managers in the NFL, as what moves should be made on Tuesday’s trade deadline. 

So which teams would benefit from adding the receiver that has a Super Bowl ring, is a former Pro Bowl player and, when paired with an elite quarterback, is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL?

Chicago Bears 

Wayne is a great fit with this Chicago Bears team. He would instantly become the best target for quarterback Jay Cutler to throw to. The Bears' leading receiver on the season is running back Matt Forte, which means this team has a big-time need for a receiver. 

If the Bears would be able to get Wayne, it would force defenses to gameplan for another player on that Bears team that’s not Forte.

Washington Redskins

The Redskins are a surprising 3-1 this year without any real passing game. They have a running back by committee in Ryan Torain, Roy Helu and Tim Hightower. They have a quarterback that won’t win games by himself, but he’s never had an elite receiver to throw to, like Wayne. 

The Redskins have an owner that will do anything possible to put the best team on paper on the field. If the Skins feel that they are a legit playoff team this year, then the addition of Wayne would put them over a team like the Giants on offense. 

San Diego Chargers 

The Chargers have an elite quarterback in Phillip Rivers, are a Super Bowl favorite without Wayne and have a need to add the receiver since their current corp of receivers have a history of being injured. 

The addition of Wayne would make this Chargers passing game the best in their division, and put them in the top three of the AFC. 

Having Wayne on the team would give the Chargers two elite receivers on the field at all times, with Wayne being teamed up with Vincent Jackson. 

For now, it’s just speculation that Wayne will be moved at the trade deadline. But, anyone of these three teams would be greatly improved with him on their team.
