The Tennessee Titans are one of the worst teams in the NFL and the firing of head coach Brian Callahan further signaled this team will be a seller at the NFL trade deadline. However, teams hoping to get an All-Pro talent out of Tennessee will be disappointed. ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler shared on 104.5 The Zone that he doesn't believe the Titans want to trade Jeffery Simmons. Instead, per Fowler, Tennessee is more focused on moving edge rusher Arden Key , cornerback Roger McCreary and tight end Chig Okonkwo.

Multiple contenders, including the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs , are in the market for a running back ahead of the NFL trade deadline. New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been one of the most talked-about NFL trade candidates in recent weeks. However, Kamara told reporters this week that he doesn't want to be traded. If New Orleans were to trade him, the 30-year-old indicated that he would just retire. Given Kamara's legacy and his importance to the franchise, the front office is expected to honor his wish to remain in New Orleans.

New York Giants 'Big-Game Hunting' with Specific Targets

Following the season-ending injury to Malik Nabers , the New York Giants have been in the market for pass-catching help to support rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart . Fortunately for New York, wide receiver is one of the deeper positions in terms of trade candidates. For now, though, the Giants' front office is setting its sights higher. According to SNY 's Connor Hughes, the Giants are "big-game hunting" with interest in Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle , Las Vegas Raiders receiver Jakobi Meyers , and New Orleans Saints wideout Chris Olave . Of the trio, Meyers is the likeliest to be traded.

Chiefs, Patriots Among 4 Teams Eyeing RB Trade

Alvin Kamara and New York Jets running back Breece Hall are among the ball-carriers who have popped up in NFL trade rumors this month. It's the reflection of a market of buyers who are all seeking help at the running back position. ESPN 's Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler reported that the Kansas City Chiefs , Los Angeles Chargers , New England Patriots , and Houston Texans are all tied to the running back market. Even if Hall and Kamara aren't traded, there are options such as Jerome Ford ( Cleveland Browns ), Jaylen Wright ( Miami Dolphins ), Devin Singletary ( New York Giants ), and Keaton Mitchell ( Baltimore Ravens ).

Trey Hendrickson Trade Rumors: Cowboys , 49ers Among Suitors

The Cincinnati Bengals ' victory on Thursday Night Football was likely viewed as a negative by playoff contenders in desperate need of pass-rushing help. Suddenly, Cincinnati is just 1.5 games back of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North and Joe Flacco is thriving right now. Of course, that won't stop teams from trying to acquire All-Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda reported that the Indianapolis Colts , Dallas Cowboys , Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers are all interested in acquiring Hendrickson. Dianna Russini of The Athletic previously reported San Francisco's interest in Hendrickson.

Las Vegas Raiders ' Jakobi Meyers Drawing Significant Trade Interest

With the emergence of wide receiver Tre Tucker and a contract extension seemingly unlikely for Jakobi Meyers, it seems the Las Vegas Raiders are getting a lot of calls recently. The Exhibit 's Josina Anderson reported that Meyers has drawn significant trade interest in recent weeks. Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN noted that Las Vegas is open to moving its No. 1 wide receiver, but Meyers isn't actively being shopped.

San Francisco 49ers Exploring Edge Rusher Trade Market

The San Francisco 49ers pass rush has taken a significant step back following the ACL tear suffered by Nick Bosa . With this defense also now without All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner for the remainder of the season, there's an even more dire need for pass-rushing help ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano both reported that San Francisco is making calls around the league about acquiring a pass rusher. Trey Hendrickson is a preferred option, but Titans' edge rusher Arden Key, Dolphins' edge rushers Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips along with Green Bay Packers ' pass rusher Kingsley Enagbare are also options.

Jacksonville Jaguars Viewed as Potential 'Aggressive' Buyer

First-year Jacksonville Jaguars general manager James Gladstone is already proving to be quite aggressive on the trade front. He paid a hefty price to move up to draft Travis Hunter and just last week dealt starting cornerback Tyson Campbell to the Browns in a deal for corner Greg Newsome . Bleacher Report 's NFL insider James Palmer believes another deal could be coming, with the team in a "win-now" mode. One position to keep an eye on is the defensive line, with a focus on adding more talent to pair with Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker on the defensive line.

Seattle Seahawks Eyeing De'Von Achane Trade

Entering Week 7, the Seattle Seahawks have the sixth-most carries (149) in the NFL and they have the highest rushing rate (49.7 percent) in the league. However, the team ranks 28th in yards per carry. According to Sportskeeda's Tony Pauline , Seattle is very interested in Dolphins running back De'Von Achane. While Miami hasn't expressed an interest yet in moving its star running back, who is under contract next season, he is the typer of explosive playmaker that Seattle reportedly wants to add to its backfield.
