Trade Rumors: Buccaneers, Falcons, Giants, Jets

Buccaneers

• According to the Athletic’s Greg Auman, it would be easier for the team to trade TE Cameron Brate, who is due $7 million next season, than TE O.J. Howard, who is still valued by the team and plays extensively despite limited production. 
• Auman adds the Buccaneers could elect to deal one of their defensive linemen with an expiring contract if they know they won’t be able to re-sign them, such as DT Ndamukong Suh, DL Beau Allen or LBs Shaquil Barrett, Jason Pierre-Paul or Carl Nassib.

Falcons

• According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Falcons CB Desmond Trufant is not expected to be traded by today’s deadline.

Giants

• SNY’s Ralph Vacchiano says the Giants will almost certainly make another move, even if it’s just a restructure, as they still need to clear cap space. 
• While the Giants are shopping CB Janoris Jenkins, a source tells Vacchiano the number of quality corners potentially available is hurting the market for him and New York doesn’t have any real suitors. 
• Vacchiano mentions there are competing reports about Giants OT Nate Solder, with one source saying the team is “actively” shopping the veteran while another disputed that, citing the $13 million dead cap hit and the lack of a viable replacement to protect first-round rookie QB Daniel Jones.
• Vacchiano adds there’s not much of a market for Giants LB Alec Ogletree, who could be asked to take a pay cut or be released this offseason.

Jets

• According to the Athletic’s Connor Hughes, the Jets are in the middle of discussions to trade WR Robby Anderson, who’s entering the final year of his deal. 
• Hughes writes the Raiders have expressed interest and are the most likely trade partner given their need for a receiver and draft capital.
• The Bills are also looking at adding a wide receiver, but the Jets are unlikely to trade Anderson within the division. The Panthers don’t see Anderson as a scheme fit. 
• SNY’s Ralph Vacchiano writes the Jaguars, Eagles and Packers have also expressed interest in Anderson, with the likely price being a third-round pick, though a bidding war could drive the price up. 
• While the Jets received calls about S Marcus Maye, Vacchiano says they told teams they weren’t interested in moving him as they’re high on his potential when he’s healthy.
• ESPN’s Rich Cimini reports no one on the Jets roster is untouchable except QB Sam Darnold and first-round rookie DT Quinnen Williams. Even S Jamal Adams would be dealt for the right price.
