NFL Trade Deadline 2015 Live: Latest Updates, Rumors, News From Around League
The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, and it represents the last chance for all 32 teams to make a major move in hopes of competing in Super Bowl 50 in February.
The action began Monday with the San Francisco 49ers sending veteran tight end Vernon Davis to the Denver Broncos in exchange for draft picks.
There are several quality players who have had their names tossed into the rumor mill in the last week. ESPN’s Adam Schefter mentioned a few of them Saturday via Twitter.
Amongst the names that have come up in trade discussions before Tuesday's trade deadline: Paul Kruger, VInny Curry, Jared Cook.

Keep it right here all day for the latest news, rumors and completed deals on deadline day.
4:16 p.m.: It looks as though the reason the Denver-Cleveland trade fell through was a very nitpicky one.
I'm told Denver was offering a 5th rounder but Cleveland wanted a 3rd rounder…they ran out of time. #Browns #Broncos

4:07 p.m.: Sources told ESPN the Thomas deal didn’t happen, so the trade deadline came and went very quietly.
A potential Joe-Thomas-to-Denver deal that both sides were working on up until the deadline did not get completed, per league sources.

4:01 p.m.: The trade deadline officially has passed, and it’s unclear if there was any action. The Broncos were looking to acquire left tackle Joe Thomas from the Browns for draft picks at the last minute, but it seems as though they didn’t make it in time.
Mike Pettine says Browns made no moves at the deadline. "That's my understanding."

3:02 p.m.: It looks as though the Patriots won’t be getting the full set of McCourtys after all.
Now told he’s not available, either. RT @apat246: @RapSheet any news on Jason McCourty?
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 3, 2015
2:58 p.m.: The Browns looked to be active on the market, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
For all talk and speculation about potential trades for Cleveland, Browns not expected to make any major trades before today's deadline.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 3, 2015
2:50 p.m.: The Patriots reportedly are interested in Jason McCourty, but there’s still no deal imminent.
Nothing with J-Mac and the Patriots at this point in time. FYI.

1:35 p.m.: The Cleveland Browns seem eager to make moves.
#Browns are motivated sellers. I’m told they’d be willing to pay some of OLB Paul Kruger’s (prorated) $7M salary to complete a deal.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 3, 2015
1:20 p.m.: Only a foolish general manager would trade for Colin Kaepernick.
Not that there was much of a chance, but #49ers aren’t trading Colin Kaepernick. They haven’t ruled him out starting later in the season.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 3, 2015
1:10 p.m.: The Tennessee Titans already fired their coach on Tuesday. Why not make some roster moves to shake things up?
A fun one to watch: #Patriots have interest in #Titans CB Jason McCourty to pair him with his twin, Devin. Alas, deal not expected right now
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 3, 2015
12:40 p.m.: No surprise the New England Patriots are looking for cornerbacks.
Plenty of teams (like the #Patriots) looking for CBs, but so few actually available. Just like in training camp. Everyone wanted CBs, OTs.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 3, 2015
12:30 p.m.: The San Diego Chargers have plenty of running back depth, and it looks like that will remain intact.
Teams were calling #Chargers about RB Donald Brown. But with RB Branden Oliver nursing an injury, Brown is staying in San Diego.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 3, 2015
12:01 p.m.: The Eagles still have a chance to win the NFC East division, but it doesn’t sound like they will add to their roster.
Chip Kelly said that he doesn't expect to make any moves before the trade deadline. #Eagles
— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) November 3, 2015
11:10 a.m.: Far from a surprise.
As others have said, the #Redskins have received no trade inquires regarding Robert Griffin III, a source confirms. #RedskinsTalk

11:00 a.m.: More evidence proving the Cleveland Browns don’t know what they’re doing.
To be specific, Browns were asking two 1st-round picks for OT Joe Thomas. They won't get that.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 3, 2015
9:45 p.m.: According to Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland, Denver wanted left tackle Joe Thomas a few weeks ago, so much so that “the Broncos were willing to part with their first-round pick in 2016, but the Browns also asked for second-year linebacker Shaq Barrett, and that apparently killed the deal.”
The Broncos announced Monday that left tackle Ty Sambrailo will miss the rest of the season. Sambrailo had missed the previous five weeks with a shoulder injury.
8:25 a.m.: Alex Mack doesn’t seem interested in leaving Cleveland, per NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

8:20 a.m. ET: New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said in a recent WEEI radio appearance that he’s open to making a trade if the right one presents itself. New England has been active at the deadline over the last few seasons, most notably when it acquired elite cornerback Aqib Talib from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2012.
