The Atlanta Falcons have engaged in trade talks regarding former first-round pick Takkarist McKinley.

McKinley has been ruled out for Thursday's game with a groin injury.

The Falcons declined to pick up his fifth-year option before the 2020 season.

The Seattle Seahawks have acquired Carlos Dunlap from the Cincinnati Bengals for B.J. Finney and a seventh round pick in the 2021 draft.

The Seahawks' defense has allowed the most yards of any team through six games in NFL history, and their pass rush has been a primary issue.

The Bengals asked Dunlap not to come to the team's facilities as they sought a trading partner.

Dunlap had two years remaining on a contract extension that was set to expire at the end of the 2021 season.

The Green Bay Packers have expressed interest in trading for Will Fuller of the Houston Texans.

No deal is imminent at this time as the Texans aren't interested in conducting a fire sale. 

Fuller has impressive per game numbers at wide receiver but has struggled to stay healthy since entering the NFL in 2016.

The NFL trade deadline is on Nov. 3.

The Dallas Cowboys have informed Dontari Poe and Daryl Worley that they will be released if they can't trade them this week.

The trade deadline is November 3, but the Cowboys are looking to cut bait sooner.

Dallas began shedding veteran parts on Tuesday when they traded Everson Griffen to the Detroit Lions for a conditional sixth-round pick.

The Cincinnati Bengals have told Carlos Dunlap to stay home rather than come to work as the team sorts out his future, according to sources.

They have had trade talks centered around the pass-rusher.

After the Cleveland Browns scored a game-winning touchdown on Sunday, Dunlap reportedly got into an argument with defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo regarding playcalling.

Dunlap, a former Pro Bowler, has spent all 11 seasons of his career with Cincinnati.

The Detroit Lions have acquired Everson Griffen from the Dallas Cowboys for a conditional sixth round pick.

The Cowboys signed Griffen in August after his long tenure with the Minnesota Vikings.

Griffen is considered one of the NFL's better veteran pass rushers.

The Dallas Cowboys have put Everson Griffen on the trade block.

Griffen was signed by the Cowboys in August after a long career with the Minnesota Vikings.

The Cowboys have a 2-5 record and would likely be heading towards angling for 2021, but they remain in the NFC East picture as the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Football Team also only have two wins.

The camp of Michael Thomas has tried to get another team to make a trade offer to the New Orleans Saints before the Nov. 3 deadline.

Thomas has played in just one game this season.

The Saints would absorb a $20 million cap charge if Thomas is traded. Thomas signed a five-year, $100 million contract extension with the Saints in 2019.

The Atlanta Falcons latest late-game collapse has them at 1-6 as the trade deadline nears.

Rumors have begun to swirl around the franchise, but Julio Jones has no desire to be moved.

"No," Jones said when asked if he wanted to be dealt. "I play football. I know who I am, I know what I got going on. I know what I mean to this team."

Both Jones and Matt Ryan have signed massive contracts in recent years that came with huge guarantees.

The Atlanta Falcons will not trade Matt Ryan or Julio Jones before the Nov. 3 trade deadline.

The Falcons have previously fired Dan Quinn as head coach and Thomas Dimitroff as general manager.

Teams have expressed interest in Jones, but they have been told that the Falcons have no plans in dealing him.

Ryan has three years and $74.75 million remaining on his deal.
