NFL Week 7 – Trade Rumors and Potential Moves

As the season progresses, trade rumors continue to circulate as we head towards the trade deadline on the 5th November.

The Los Angeles Chargers are considering a trade for a wide receiver to bolster their offense, following QB Justin Herbert‘s strong performance without passing touchdowns.

The Tennessee Titans might start trading key players like WR DeAndre Hopkins as they face a poor record and look to rebuild. The Kansas City Chiefs are believed to be ready to strike a deal for D-Hop according to reports in the NFL on Tuesday.

The New York Jets are also facing challenges, with WR Davante Adams having a limited impact since joining from the Raiders and the team dealing with defensive struggles due to injuries. These issues may prompt the Jets to explore trade options to strengthen their roster. WR Mike Williams however could be on his way out from the Jets according to reports.

The San Francisco 49ers are thought to be considering a number of possible trades with an injury crisis hitting the team at RB and also WR. One option is the Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp, with the Rams believed to be open to trading one of their star players.

If Kupp does leave the Rams then that could signal the start of a rebuild in LA, which could see QB Matt Stafford also part ways with the franchise.
