Top 5 expected players' movement as trade deadline approaches

#5 - Kyle Fuller, CB, Denver Broncos

One player keeping an eye on the trade deadline will be Kyle Fuller, who landed on the sidelines after Pat Surtain II and Ronald Darby became the starters. The Denver Broncos could look to trade the cornerback to another team that has a need. Fuller will be entering free agency in 2022, which is why it makes perfect sense for the Broncos.

#4 - Marlon Mack, RB, Indianapolis Colts

Marlon Mack has been the subject of trade speculation throughout the season and the trade deadline couldn't have come any quicker. The former starter has now fallen behind Jonathan Taylor in the pecking order and will be looking for a change of scenery.

#3 - Nick Foles, QB, Chicago Bears

Speaking of change of scenery, perhaps no player is dreading trade deadline day as much as Nick Foles. He is the third-choice quarterback for the Chicago Bears and wants to escape his personal hell before the tread deadline closes the window of opportunity shut. The Chicago Bears should also be willing to trade given they already have a veteran quarterback as backup in Andy Dalton and there is clearly no gain in keeping an unhappy player.

#2 - Allen Robinson, WR, Chicago Bears

Staying with the Chicago Bears, one player who should look to move is Allen Robinson. Rookie quarterback Justin Fields is not able to provide the service he is looking for and he is not at the stage of his career where he can watch a quarterback develop. The Chicago Bears also know that he will become a free agent next year. They might be open to a trade for him.

#1 - Deshaun Watson, QB, Houston Texans

Topping our list is the man who has kept the rumor mills alive right up to trade deadline day. Deshaun Watson is desperately unhappy with the Houston Texans and the feeling seems to be mutual. The Texans want to trade Deshaun Watson for the right compensation before trade deadline day. By now the situation should have been resolved were it not for the littany of credible sexual allegations against Watson.

But if recent reports are to be believed, the Miami Dolphins are about to clinch a deal with him, though the Carolina Panthers would love to hijack the trade before deadline day. Either way, this is a rumor to watch out for.
