Vincent Jackson has to be moved. He’s stuck on a dead end team and could be a difference maker for a contender in the league. His numbers over the past two seasons rival those of Brandon Marshall and Jordy Nelson, two of the league’s best. Let’s see who should make a run at him before the trade deadline.

Why do the New England Patriots always pop up when a veteran receiver is available for trade? Because the Patriots make a lot of smart trades. This one is a no-brainer considering what Tom Brady accomplishes without a top tier receiver.

The Jim Schwartz era of self destruction is over in Detroit and Jim Caldwell has them positioned for a deep playoff run. With Megatron due back from a nagging injury and Golden Tate looking like a solid No. 2, why not go for a trifecta of high caliber receivers?

2. Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks don’t quite have the plug-n-play offense you find in New England, where it doesn’t seem to matter who Tom Brady has at receiver. The Seahawks need a true No. 1 receiver to fill the void they have created by trading away two of their top receivers since winning the Superbowl.
