Hakeem Knick to the Seahawks

Although he says he's staying in New York, Hakeem Nicks really has no control over what the Giants do with him. And considering he's in a contract year, the Giants are out of the playoff race already and Rueben Randle is emerging as a reliable receiver, Nicks could be better served as a top target for a contender like Seattle. The Seahawks are already good, but a legit receiving threat for Russell Wilson could make them lethal.

Jared Allen to the 49ers

The 49ers' pass-rush situation isn't exactly peachy (14 sacks through six games) and the whole Aldon Smith ordeal has just made things worse. Jared Allen is in the last year of his contract and won't re-sign in Minnesota, so why not deal him to a contender like San Francisco that could benefit from his services during a Super Bowl run and then possibly give him the money he wants in the upcoming offseason, if not before then.

Jermichael Finley to the Ravens

It's been way too long for Jermichael Finley to prove he will ever catch on as the elite tight end the Packers always thought he would be. It's time to part ways and see if Finley can prove himself with another Super Bowl contender that needs a tight end in the final year of his contract. Joe Flacco desperately needs an elite pass-catching option at tight end, so this would be a great make-or-break chance for Finley.

Kenny Britt to the Patriots

The Patriots desperately need a receiver and Kenny Britt can't seem to stay out of trouble and thus on the field for the Titans, so it's time for a change of scenery. With a great situation in New England and a coach who knows how to get the most out of troubled players, Britt might just become the next big thing like so many other Patriots receivers.

Kirk Cousins to the Texans

The Texans are a good football team that is currently in a state of turmoil. That could change with a surefire leader like Kirk Cousins. There's absolutely no reason why Cousins should continue to sit behind Robert Griffin III when he could easily be a topnotch starting quarterback in the NFL, especially with a talented team like Houston.

Matt Schaub to the Jaguars

This one is a stretch, especially considering Houston and Jacksonville are in the same division, but Schaub isn't done as a viable NFL starting quarterback and at this point, the Jaguars just need someone under center who's decent. More importantly, they need a new face just to keep fans in the seats for the remainder of this season. This deal would let Jacksonville (and the rest of the NFL) know if Schaub is worth anything at this point before the 2014 NFL Draft rolls around.

Maurice Jones-Drew to the Giants

Everyone and their dog knows that MJD won't re-sign with the Jaguars, so this doomed franchise would be wise to deal him now and get what it can in return. The Giants desperately need a stud running back who's younger and more dependable than Brandon Jacobs and Jones-Drew could easily help turn that franchise around while returning to prominence as an elite NFL runner.

Ryan Clark to the Cowboys

The Steelers are awful and they're in for a huge rebuilding year in 2014, whether they know it yet or not. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are in need of a reliable veteran safety after ditching Will Allen earlier this year. Ryan Clark (34) won't be around forever, but he'd certainly be better than the safeties Dallas has fielded in recent years, and he would provide the leadership that's been lacking there since Darren Woodson retired.

Tony Gonzalez to the Chiefs

This isn't for sentimental purposes -- the Chiefs need a solid receiving threat and they already know what Tony Gonzalez can do from his Hall of Fame years in Kansas City during the 2000s. Gonzalez is in his final NFL season and the Falcons are toast, so he deserves to play for a team that has a chance to content for a ring this year. He would provide a security blanket for Alex Smith, which would make the Chiefs' quarterback even more effective than he's been in their undefeated start to the season.

Jairus Byrd to the Broncos

As good as the Broncos are, their secondary is sketchy, especially at the safety position. The Bills know they need to trade Jairus Byrd so they don't just have to watch him walk in the upcoming offseason and at 27, he could be a defensive leader in Denver through the transition into the Brock Osweiler era and beyond. Not to mention, he would give the Broncos an even better chance to win the Super Bowl this year.
