While the Green Bay Packers traded away a pair of players without getting an immediate return, general manager Brian Gutekunst says they're not giving up on the season.

Green Bay traded Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to Washington for a 2019 fourth-round pick and running back/kick returner Ty Montgomery to Baltimore for a conditional 2020 seventh-rounder.

"I don't necessarily think there's a message it sends to the locker room," the first-year GM said Wednesday. "I think the decisions that we make are always in the best interest of our team, not only in the short term, but the long term, as well. But I think our locker room knows where we're headed and, like I said, I think we're humming at the right time and I think there's a lot of positive things going forward."

The Green Bay Packers have traded Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to the Washington Redskins for a fourth-round draft pick, according to sources.

Clinton-Dix, 25, since been a starter since 2014, but will hit the free agency market after the season.

The Los Angeles Rams have landed Dante Fowler from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a third-round draft pick in 2019 and fifth-round selection in 2020.

Fowler will become an unrestricted free agent after this season.

The third overall pick in 2015, Fowler has eight tackles and two sacks in seven games this season and has 14 sacks and 22 quarterback hits in 39 career games.

Fowler will join a defensive line rotation that already includes Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh and Michael Brockers.

The Baltimore Ravens have acquired Ty Montgomery from the Green Bay Packers for a seventh-round draft pick in 2020, according to a source.

The deal comes two days after Montgomery made a special teams error, running a fourth-quarter kickoff out of the end zone and making a costly fumble in a 29-27 loss at the Los Angeles Rams.

The Ravens' running game has lacked any explosiveness this season with Alex Collins (3.7-yard per carry) and Buck Allen (2.6).

The Denver Broncos have traded Demaryius Thomas to the Houston Texans in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick.

The teams will also swap seventh-round picks.

John Elway said "three or four teams" had expressed interest in Thomas.

"We were not hell bent on trading Demaryius,'' Elway said. "If the value was there, we felt the value was there ... we got the value we thought was fair and that was the most important thing."

Houston will face the Broncos in Denver on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired Golden Tate from the Detroit Lions for a third-round pick.

Tate, 30, signed with the Lions before the 2014 season and is in the final year of his contract.

He had 90 catches in each of his four full seasons with Detroit and had 1,000 yards in three of those years.

Demaryius Thomas believes there's a pretty good chance the Denver Broncos will trade him before Tuesday's deadline.

"How would you feel at your job [if] your boss, whoever, said they wanted you someplace else?" Thomas said after Sunday's game. "And you come into work every day and have to think about it? How would you feel? But I had to do it for my team, like it was normal, act like it was normal. It just kept coming up, from left and right. ... I had to think about it. ... It'll be interesting to see what happens in next couple days.

"I think it should have never gotten out, to tell you the truth. I would have never been thinking about it if it never got it. Nobody would be talking about."

The Broncos are 3-5 and Courtland Sutton is getting more looks at wide receiver.

Thomas put his odds of being traded at "50-50."

"I'll be on a squad. I'll be able to play ball," he said. "I'll be able to do what I love. If it's the Broncos, I would love it. But if it's not, it's a business. I gotta deal with it."

Jon Gruden addressed reporters on Wednesday for the first time since the Oakland Raiders traded Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys.

Rumors have swirled that more deals are coming as the Raiders (1-5) are going in a new direction without Cooper and Khalil Mack, but Gruden denies those whispers.

"I don't see us making any more trades," he said. "I didn't see us making a trade the other day. I really didn't. But sometimes, like I said, your plans change whether you like it or not. You don't know who's going to call you and what they're going to say, you really don't. ... I don't see us making any more trades. But I'll never say never again to anybody."

The coach was then asked about Derek Carr specifically.

"I don't see us making any more trades," Gruden repeated. "Certainly, I don't see us trading our quarterback."

Patrick Peterson said Wednesday that his request for a trade "came at a bad time."

"I was just frustrated," Peterson said.

It was reported on Monday that Peterson "desperately" wants out of Arizona and asked to be traded by the Oct. 30 trade deadline. The cornerback said those frustrations were with the Cardinals' 1-6 start.

"You see the record," Peterson said.

On Wednesday, he tweeted his long-term commitment to the Cardinals.

"I've been incredibly frustrated with how the season has gone. But my energy is 100% focused on being part of the solution & help us turn this around," Peterson wrote.

Peterson met with Cardinals president Michael Bidwill for 30 minutes on Tuesday, and they discussed ways for the Cardinals to improve and for Peterson to be a leader, according to sources.

Demaryius Thomas has come up in trade rumors ahead of next week's deadline, but the Denver Broncos are unlikely to move him.

It's a "good bet" Thomas remains with Denver beyond the Oct. 30 deadline, according to a report.

Thomas has some $5 million left in salary this season and has another year on his contract at $14 million.
