One player each NFL team could trade before the deadline, from Chase Claypool to Melvin Gordon

Ahead of the NFL trade deadline, here are some players who could be on the move, including Chase Claypool, Melvin Gordon and Elijah Moore.

The NFL’s trade deadline is fast approaching, and there have already been some players on the move. That includes the Carolina Panthers recently dealing running back Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers and receiver Robbie Anderson to the Arizona Cardinals.

There are a number of contending teams that could be looking to shore up an area of weakness as they aim to make a postseason run. Not to mention, there are a number of struggling teams looking to sell some big-name players to acquire additional draft capital.

Ahead of the Nov. 1 deadline, let’s look at some other players who might be on the move, with one from every NFL team, as assembled by our NFL Wires staff.

NFL trade deadline: Seahawks have made CB Sidney Jones available

Jones wants to go somewhere he can play more.

According to a report by Jeremy Fowler at ESPN, the Seahawks have made cornerback Sidney Jones available for a trade.

Jones (6-foot-0, 181 pounds) performed well above expectation last season, only allowing two touchdowns in coverage and an 84.3 passer rating. However, he’s fallen out of the rotation this year thanks to the ascendance of veteran Mike Jackson – who has taken his spot at left cornerback – as well as standout rookies Tariq Woolen and Coby Bryant. So far, Jones has only appeared in three games and played 45 defensive snaps.

Fowler says Jones wants to go somewhere he can play more:

“In other cornerback news, multiple sources say the Seattle Seahawks have made Sidney Jones IV available. Seattle would love to keep Jones but is rolling with its young three-man corner rotation of Tariq Woolen, Mike Jackson and Coby Bryant. Jones, like most players, wants to play and can help a corner-needy team.”

Even if you’re not 100% sold on Mike Jackson it makes sense for the Seahawks to deal him, because if Tre Brown ever returns from his knee injury Jones will become even more expendable. Getting anything in return for him would be a bonus – even if it’s only a seventh-round pick.

Bleacher Report names potential trade Ravens could make in October

Bleacher Report named a potential trade that the Ravens could make in October

The Baltimore Ravens have made their way to a 3-2 record over the first five weeks of the 2022 season. They’ve done so while battling different injuries and finding their way on both sides of the ball, and many could argue that the could be undefeated had they not blown two leads in Week 2 and Week 4.

When listing out the biggest potential NFL trades that could still happen in October, David Kenyon of Bleacher Report named Baltimore as a team that could make a move. He lists the team trading for Seattle Seahawks cornerback Sidney Jones, citing that his lack of playing time in Seattle and expiring contract could be enticing for the Ravens.

“Sidney Jones, meanwhile, hasn’t consistently factored into the Seattle Seahawks’ plans despite a solid 2021 campaign…Last year, he made 66 tackles and allowed only 5.4 yards per target while logging 61 percent of snaps. Jones has totaled just 34 total snaps so far this season, making five tackles in his limited action…Throw in Jones’ expiring contract, and the Seahawks have reason to start making calls. And the playoff-hopeful Ravens should not hesitate much to pick up the phone.”

Jones was a second round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2017 NFL draft, and has also spent time in Jacksonville with the Jaguars before latching on with the Seahawks. He’s totaled 147 tackles and four interceptions in his NFL career, and would provide solid cornerback depth for a team that has dealt with plenty of injuries at the position over the course of their franchise history.

Seahawks Week 5 Inactives: These 6 players ruled out vs Saints

Seahawks, Saints inactives for Week 5

The Seattle Seahawks are in the Big Easy to face the New Orleans Saints following their explosive 48-45 shootout victory over the Detroit Lions. The Seahawks will look to improve to above .500 for the first time since Week 1 with a win over a talented but banged up Saints roster.

The Seahawks have already ruled out rookie receiver Dareke Young. While Young’s absence will make the receiving corps thinner than usual, it is an enviable position compared to the Saints who have already ruled out star receiver Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry.

At the game’s most important position, it looks like will be starting backup quarterback Andy Dalton for a second week with Jameis Winston still dealing with back and ankle injuries.

Seahawks Week 5 Inactives:

WR Marquise Goodwin

CB Sidney Jones IV

S Teez Tabor

T Jake Curhan

WR Dareke Young

Saints Week 5 Inactives: 

WR Jarvis Landry

S Marcus Maye

WR Michael Thomas

G Calvin Throckmorton

DE Payton Turner

TE Nick Vannett

QB Jameis Winston

The Seahawks defense continues to be gashed by opponents, and not having corner Sidney Jones in the lineup will test depth at the defensive back position. Fortunately, the Saints will be without their starting quarterback and top two receivers.

Updated look at Seattle Seahawks injuries following roster trim-down

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll provided a number of player injury updates following Tuesday’s roster trim-down to the 53-man squad.

Tuesday marked the day NFL teams had to trim their rosters to the league-mandated 53 players by 1:00 p.m. PT. After the difficult decisions were made, coach Pete Carroll provided some injury updates for a number of Seattle Seahawks.

Seahawks battling numerous injuries at cornerback spot

The Seattle Seahawks are battling numerous injuries at the cornerback spot ahead of their preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Seattle Seahawks are set to square off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday for their first preseason game of the summer. The squad is battling a number of injuries, however, especially on the defensive side of the ball at the cornerback position.

Coach Pete Carroll provided some important injury updates following Tuesday’s practice, explaining: “We are a little bit low on the corner spot you know with Johnny Reid (groin) out too right now.”

Here’s a look at who else is banged up ahead of the Steelers matchup.

Cornerback Artie Burns (groin): “He tweaked his groin today unfortunately in the one-on-ones,” Carroll said. “I don’t know what that means at this point, but he felt it, so we had to get him out of there.”

Cornerback Sidney Jones IV (concussion): “I need to hear more for the next two days to see what’s going on,” Carroll told reporters. “He’s feeling really good. I talked to him this morning but I have to get the rebound of that from the doctor. I haven’t heard that today.”

Cornerback Tre Brown (PUP list, knee): “He’s making progress,” Carroll confirmed. “He’s running and working out but it’s not like in the next day or two. It’s going to be some time still. He hasn’t been able to run full speed yet on the field. Until he can do that, we won’t know anything.”

What Seahawks expect from ‘playmaker’ Sidney Jones IV this year

The Seattle Seahawks have high hopes for former Husky cornerback, Sidney Jones IV, in his second season with the team.

The Seattle Seahawks only have a couple of practices under their belts in this year’s training camp, but coach Pete Carroll has already gotten a pretty good look at some of his players.

After Thursday’s session, Carroll was asked about the new-look defense and how the defensive backs have been fitting into the program. Carroll had high praise for former Husky, Sidney Jones IV.

“Sidney is a playmaker, he is a field guy, he has great awareness, he’s really smart, positions, sees well, reads well, has terrific hands, and plays the ball really well,” Carroll told reporters. “Now that he has showed us that he knows what is going on, knows how we want to play him, and how it fits in the scheme, now we are really trying to draw to his strengths and allow him to fit in.”

Jones was first traded to the Seahawks last summer and re-signed a one-year deal at the start of free agency. Carroll is excited for his second season in Seattle.

“The way we coach him up and the way we play him, not everybody has to be exactly the same is what I’m saying,” Carroll continued. “Sid has his way and he’s going to be a hard guy to move because he is so sharp, is on it, and you can really count on him.

“He’s done well.”

Seahawks round out cornerback rotation with Coby Bryant pick

Seattle’s secondary should be ready to go for this year.

The Seahawks probably should have re-signed cornerback D.J. Reed, who was arguably their most-consistent defender last season from Week 4 on. However, he was allowed to leave for the Jets in free agency, signing a reasonable three-year, $33 million deal.

Since then Seattle has signed Artie Burns and re-signed Sidney Jones for added depth at boundary corner, but they needed another body to round out their corner rotation for the 2022 season. By taking Cincinnati’s Coby Bryant (6-foot-1, 193 pounds) they got one of the best remaining cornerback prospects in the draft and completed the look.

It’s anybody’s guess how any given Day 3 pick will work out in the NFL. However, coming into the league Bryant should project as a backup. For now, he’ll likely have to work for playing time behind Burns, Jones and Tre Brown, who showed promise as a rookie in 2021 before his knee injury.

With Justin Coleman returning to fill the void in the slot and Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs on the back end, Seattle’s secondary should be ready to go for this year.

Seahawks CB Sidney Jones discusses broad strokes of new defensive scheme

We’ll have to wait until September to actually see it in action, but at least we now have some vague idea of what to expect this coming season.

The Seahawks will be changing things up on defense this year under new coordinator Clint Hurtt and associate head coach Sean Desai. We’ll have to wait until September to actually see it in action, but at least we now have some vague idea of what to expect this coming season.

Seattle cornerback Sidney Jones recently re-signed with the team on a one-year deal. He spoke with the media today and shared some broad strokes about the defensive scheme as related to him by the coaches. Jones says it will feature “tight-match, cover 3 type stuff” along with a lot of man-coverage.

Jones played his college ball at Washington and then was picked by the Eagles in the second round of the 2017 NFL draft. He had issues with injuries and coverage in Philadelphia and only lasted three years there before leaving for Jacksonville. Right before the 2021 season started the Jaguars traded him to the Seahawks.

Jones went on to start 11 games, allowing just two touchdowns and an 84.3 passer rating in coverage.

Where Jones fits in with Seattle’s new-look secondary remains to be seen. The team has re-signed Quandre Diggs and brought back former nickel corner Justin Coleman, but they also allowed D.J. Reed to leave for the Jets.
