NFL Notes: 49ers, Patriots, Ravens, Redskins & Texans

49ers

  • Jason La Canfora suggested G Joe Staley could be the next player traded by the 49ers after the team sent TE Vernon Davis to the Broncos.
  • Staley signed an extension with the 49ers in July of 2014 that keeps him under contract through the 2019 season.

Patriots

Patriots HC Bill Belichick said that theyโ€™re โ€œalways open to discussionsโ€ regarding trades with other teams.

โ€œWeโ€™re always open to discussions. I think everybody in league probably knows our phone lines are open,โ€ Belichick said, per Mike Reiss.

As for whether they could complete a deal before Tuesdayโ€™s deadline, Belichick said: โ€œWho knows? Itโ€™s hard to tell. It takes two to make a deal. It has to be the right situation.โ€ (Mike Reiss)

Ravens

  • Ravens HC John Harbaugh said that he would not rule out them bringing in another receiver at some point in the near future.
  • Harbaugh told reporters WR Steve Smith did not give him an indication โ€œone way or the otherโ€ whether he would play for the team in 2016.

Redskins

  • A Redskinsโ€™ source tells John Keim that theyโ€™re unlikely to be active in regards to trades ahead of tomorrowโ€™s deadline.
  • According to Keim, no one had called the Redskins about QB Robert Griffin IIIโ€™s availability as of Sunday night.
  • Keim doesnโ€™t see why Browns C Alex Mack would waive his no-trade clause to be traded to Washington, and would instead expect him to only do so for a contender.

Texans

  • Mark Berman reports that the Texans worked out RB Akeem Hunt on Monday.
