NFL Trade Rumors NFL Trade Rumors

Bengals

  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says if the Bengals made DE Trey Hendrickson available, he’d be the top trade target for other teams at the deadline. However, a team source tells Fowler Cincinnati doesn’t want to move Hendrickson.
  • If they change their mind, the 49ers in particular have come up as a team that would be interested.
  • Conversely, Fowler says other teams have come away with the impression that the Bengals would be willing to trade LB Logan Wilson, a team captain who has been benched in recent weeks for fourth-round LB Barrett Carter.
  • Bengals CB Cam Taylor-Britt is another trade candidate worth watching after being benched this past week, per Fowler.

  • Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Chiefs CB Kristian Fulton is a potential trade candidate to watch after he was a healthy scratch this past week. Kansas City inked him to a two-year, $20 million deal as a free agent just this past offseason. Chiefs CB Joshua Williams is another trade candidate.

Colts

  • According to Jordan Schultz, the Colts are viewed around the league as a team to watch ahead of the trade deadline, particularly for a big swing for a proven defensive playmaker.
  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler writes the Colts are a natural fit to watch for any Bengals defensive players that Cincinnati is willing to move on from before the trade deadline, including LB Logan Wilson, CB Cam Taylor-Britt and, obviously, DE Trey Hendrickson. Colts DC Lou Anarumo was...
