2011 NFL Trade Rumors: 10 Players Who Could Be Dealt Once a New CBA Is Signed
It's that time of year again. Disgruntled players are requesting trades. Franchise-alienating players are being offered in backroom deals. Old players are being discarded for the future.
This slideshow contains ten such players. Guys who will be moving to different teams in the upcoming season. Read on to find out who they are.
10. WR Randy Moss, Tennessee Titans
1 of 10
It has been a volatile year for Moss, who has been with three teams: the Patriots, Vikings and Titans.
Moss played poorly at all three stops, catching 28 passes for 393 yards. In eight games with Tennessee, he recorded just six catches.
Given his ineffectiveness in their offense, it's hard to imagine that Tennessee would want him back. Some team will probably take a flier on Moss, but it's clear his best days are behind him.
9. QB Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks
2 of 10
Hasselbeck played very well in this year's postseason, throwing for 530 yards and seven touchdowns against one interception. However, his regular season play left much to be desired; 3,001 yards, 12 touchdowns, 17 interceptions.
At 35 years old, Hasselbeck is not the future for the Seahawks. Now is as good a time as ever to see if backup Charlie Whitehurst can play.
8. S Bob Sanders, Indianapolis Colts
3 of 10
When Sanders is on the field, he is as good as any safety in the league. The problem is that he rarely plays.
During his career, Sanders has played more than ten games in a season only twice; in the past two seasons, he has played in just three games.
Indianapolis has to be frustrated. The five year, $37.5 million contract with $20 million guaranteed they signed Sanders to, making him the highest paid safety in NFL history, was a complete wash.
7. QB Kyle Orton, Denver Broncos
4 of 10
It's going to be a rough few years for Denver following the failed Josh McDaniels experiment. Keeping Kyle Orton most likely won't be in their plans.
Bronco fans have been clamoring for Tim Tebow to start. Since Denver will be a cellar dweller regardless of who is under center, the team might as well find out if the Florida product can make it in the NFL.
Simply put, Tim Tebow is the future and Kyle Orton isn't.
6. WR Chad Ochocinco, Cincinnati Bengals
5 of 10
Ochocinco, or whatever he goes by nowadays, has worn out his welcome in Cincinnati. He has alienated fans and Marvin Lewis.
He doesn't seem to want to stay in Cincy, either. On the T.Ocho Show, Ochocinco declared he wanted to join the New York Jets, saying "I'd do anything to play for someone like Rex Ryan or anyone who has that type of mentality."
This type of move would probably be mutually beneficial to both parties. Cincinnati would remove a locker room cancer and Ochocinco could revive his career.
5. QB Carson Palmer, Cincinnati Bengals
6 of 10
After years of mediocrity, Palmer has had enough. Three days ago, Palmer requested a trade or threatened to retire. Mike Brown denied that request, saying "he is key to our plans, he's central to us."
At this point, Brown might think Palmer is bluffing. However, if Palmer is geniune, he has the financial means to back up his threat. Should Brown feel that Palmer would make good on his word, you'd think he would trade him and get something in return rather than allowing him to retire for nothing.
Then again, this is Mike Brown.
4. DT Albert Haynesworth, Washington Redskins
7 of 10
Haynesworth has been at odds with the Redskins since the first day. He has demanded a trade, skipped mandatory mini-camp, failed conditioning tests, given up on plays, etc...You name it, Haynesworth has probably done it. All of this culminated in his suspension on December 7, 2010.
There is no reason to keep Haynesworth on the team. He doesn't want to be there and will never be a productive Redskin.
3. QB Donovan McNabb
8 of 10
The fanfare McNabb received when coming to Washington is now but a distant memory. A few months later, McNabb is relegated to third string and benched in favor of Rex Grossman. That's right, Rex Grossman.
The 34-year-old was insulted by the benching but he wasn't exactly putting forward quality production, throwing for 3,377 yards with 14 touchdowns and 15 picks. It looks like Washington is looking elsewhere at QB so expect to see McNabb traded.
2. QB Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagles
9 of 10
Before the season, there was a QB controversy raging in Philadelphia regarding who should replace Donovan McNabb. Michael Vick or Kevin Kolb? After an MVP caliber year from Vick, that debate is no more.
Now that Vick is entrenched as starter, Philly might look to move Kolb. If they can convince teams that he is starter material and can get something meaningful in return, he is gone.
1. QB Vince Young, Tennessee Titans
10 of 10
Titans owner Bud Adams has already said that Young will not be in Tennessee in 2011.
His erratic behavior, which includes near retirement, a strip club fight, tossing his shoulder pads in the stands and clashes with Jeff Fisher among other things doomed him.
Young will most likely find employment in 2011. In particular, Cincinnati owner Mike Brown has a fetish for talented players that get in trouble. Since Cincy has a QB opening with Carson Palmer wanting out, this seems like a match made in heaven.
