The Seattle Seahawks remain open to trading Earl Thomas but they remain adamant on receiving a 2019 second round pick in return for him.

The Chiefs were unwilling to meet that price but would be interested if the Seahawks were to lower their demands. The Cowboys offered a second-round pick at one point during the preseason, but Seattle wanted more from Dallas.

Thomas is widely expected to leave the Seahawks in 2019.

Pete Carroll said earlier this week that the Seahawks and Thomas are "in a good place" despite the star safety's ongoing contract dispute with the team.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to progress on trade talks involving Le'Veon Bell to a serious stage.

Some teams have inquired with Pittsburgh on Bell but none have been aggressive.

Bell's continued absence from Pittsburgh has raised questions about what his future salary could and would be if the Steelers, or any team that traded for him, used the transition tag on him this offseason.

The longer Bell stays away, the more his salary for this season drops, which could dramatically affect what he earns in 2019. 

If Bell were to report to the Steelers next week, the most cash he could make this year would be $11.12 million; and 120 percent of that number under the transition tag would be $13.346 million -- lower than the $14.534 he was scheduled to earn under the franchise tag this season.

The Dallas Cowboys are interested in rekindling trade talks with the Seattle Seahawks for Earl Thomas.

Dallas tried to trade for Thomas before the season, offering a second-round pick for the safety.

The two sides haven't spoken since Thomas reported to the Seahawks.

The New York Jets have reached out to the Pittsburgh Steelers with interest in a trade for Le'Veon Bell.

Bell has yet to sign his $14.54 million franchise tag tender.

The Jets have not made a concrete offer for Bell yet.

NFL rules prohibit any team trading for Bell to give him a multi-year deal until after the 2018 season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are now listening to trade offers for Le'Veon Bell.

Bell is currently holding out and is expected to leave the Steelers this offseason either way.

The New England Patriots and Detroit Lions were close to a trade last offseason involving Rob Gronkowski.

When Gronkowski discovered he could be traded to Detroit that week, he threatened to retire rather than go to the Lions.

Gronkowski declined to return calls from the Lions.

Sources say Gronkowski's position was more related to not wanting to leave the Patriots rather than play for the Lions. Gronkowski wouldn't have reported to any team.

Antonio Brown doesn't want to be traded by the Pittsburgh Steelers and wasn't with the team on Monday because of a personal matter, his agent said.

Brown was seen getting into a sideline confrontation with offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner during Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The receiver also responded 'Trade me let's find out' to a former Steelers staff member who tweeted Brown wouldn't be the same player without Ben Roethlisberger.

"The tweet yesterday was not in reference to anything other than Antonio responding to a person he knows," Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN.

"It was not directed toward a trade, or wanting to be trading. It was a personal response to a former Steelers employee who insulted him. Any idea he was asking for a trade is not accurate. Secondly, yesterday he had a personal matter. I talked to the team about it. His issue was unrelated to the tweet or his relationship with the team. Third, anything you see between AB and the coaches, AB has an incredible drive to win. He just wants to win. That's all that that is. That's not anything more than him encouraging his coaches and teammates to win. And that's what his entire focus is on. Any notion, any speculation otherwise, can be put to bed. This is a non-story that has been blown out of proportion. We can end this right here and now."

The New England Patriots have acquired Josh Gordon in a trade with the Cleveland Browns for a fifth round pick. If Gordon isn't active for 10 games, they will get a late round pick back from the Browns.

The Browns made it known over the weekend that they were planning to release Gordon if they couldn't trade him.

Gordon also had interest in the Cowboys and 49ers.

Gordon's strained hamstring is not serious and he's expected to play in Week 3 against the Lions.

Josh Gordon will be released or traded by the Cleveland Browns and he hopes to end up with either the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys.

The Browns provided no details behind their decision to part ways with Gordon, but a source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that he broke the team's "trust" when he reported to the facility Saturday with a hamstring issue after being a full participant in practice all week. 

Gordon will have no says in where he is traded but Gordon is hopeful that it's to a place that can provide the support and understanding what his needs.

The Los Angeles Rams attempted to trade for Khalil Mack before he was eventually dealt to the Chicago Bears. The Rams planned to sign Mack and then trade him in the 2019 offseason.

The Rams offered a first round pick and third round pick to the Oakland Raiders for Mack.

The idea was to match Mack with Donald, Ndamukong Suh and Michael Brockers to go all-in for the 2018 season.

Chicago signed signed Mack to a record six-year, $141 million deal.
