Luck Supports Possible Acquisition Of Jonathan Martin For Colts

Sep 20, 2014 5:11 PM

Andrew Luck and Jonathan Martin were teammates at Stanford and a reunion in the NFL could take place with the Indianapolis Colts.

Martin would prefer to move on from the Miami Dolphins after being bullied by teammate Richie Incognito.

“I’d say I love Jon, we had a great time at Stanford together, still stay in touch with him regularly and I think he’s a great man,” Luck said regarding the input he’d provide, if/when (when) he’s asked about Martin.

Luck said he still regularly talks to Martin, and that they spoke “[p]robably a couple days ago.”

The Colts have a need on the offensive line.

Jonathan Martin Prefers Not To Return To Dolphins

Jun 15, 2014 8:31 PM

Jonathan Martin doesn't want to return to the Miami Dolphins and will meet directly with owner Stephen Ross, according to a source.

Martin wants to begin fresh with a new team whether he's traded or cut.

“How do you take (Martin) back?” the source said. “Do you get rid of Pouncey? All these guys talked (stuff) about him. I don’t even know how it’s possible.”

If the Dolphins were to bring back Martin, it could appeal to Ross as a sign that the locker room issues are fixed.

Darrelle Revis Could Emerge In Serious Trade Talks

Jun 1, 2014 5:37 AM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have received calls from teams inquiring about the availability of Darrelle Revis.

The Buccaneers acquired Revis last offseason for a first round pick. Revis has a huge salary and his talents are unlikely to be maximized in Lovie Smith's defense.

The Buccaneers haven't shopped Revis and no firm offers have been made, but talks could begin in earnest at the start of the NFL's year on March 11.

Clowney Hopes Falcons Trade Up For Him

Oct 1, 2014 5:10 AM

Jadeveon Clowney would like to play for the Atlanta Falcons, but he doesn't want to fall to their pick at No. 6.

“I wish [the Falcons] could trade up for me,” Clowney told Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. Clowney prefers a trade up, because he doesn’t want to be passed over five times. “I hope I don’t fall to No. 6. I like Atlanta — a lot,” Clowney said.

“They’re pretty good. They’ve got some guys from South Carolina on the team, also. And it’s close to home.”

The Falcons have admitted that they're considering moving up from No. 6 and a deal with the St. Louis Rams at No. 2 would make the most sense.

Redskins Have No Plans To Trade Kirk Cousins

Oct 30, 2014 11:17 AM

The Washington Redskins have no plans on trading Kirk Cousins, according to sources.

Cousins had told the Redskins after the season that he would welcome a trade and recently reiterated his desire publicly.

"Nothing changes from the day I was drafted," said Cousins, a fourth-round pick in 2012 -- three rounds after Robert Griffin III. "There's no chance to compete, so if I can't get it in D.C., I'd be open to having that chance somewhere else."

The Redskins prefer to keep Cousins due to Griffin's injury history.

Cousins is under contract through the 2015 season so there's no urgency to deal him at this time.

Andre Johnson In Favor Of Texans Trading Away Top Overall Pick

Sep 13, 2014 12:09 PM

Andre Johnson believes the Houston Texans should trade the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

"I have thought about different scenarios," Johnson told KTRK-TV in Houston on Wednesday. "Me personally, if I had it, I would probably trade it, but that's just my opinion."

"That doesn't make it right," he added. "Doesn't mean they should listen to me, because I am not the GM. I have never had to sit in the draft room like that."

Teams have traded out of the No. 1 pick five times since 1990 and just once since 2001.
