The New England Patriots have acquired LeGarrette Blount from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for Jeff Demps and a seventh round pick.

Blount had been phased out of the Buccaneers' offense due to the presence of Doug Martin.

Blount is a bigger back than what the Patriots currently have on their depth chart.

The New York Jets acquired Chris Ivory from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a fourth round pick.

The Saints used the extra fourth round pick and their own pick to move up to the 82nd overall pick in a deal with the Miami Dolphins to select defensive tackle John Jenkins out of Georgia.

The Saints and Jets had been discussing an Ivory trade for more than a week.

Shonn Greene signed with the Tennessee Titans in the offseason, leaving a void at running back for the Jets.

The Green Bay Packers are actively attempting to trade linebacker Desmond Bishop.

Bishop had 115 tackles and five sacks in 2011 but suffered a season-ending hamstring injury in the preseason.

The Packers also have Brad Jones, Robert Francois and A.J. Hawk at inside linebacker.

The New York Jets are trying to move up from the 39th overall pick to draft a quarterback, according to sources.

The Jets used their two first round picks on defensive players.

The Jets considered drafting Geno Smith at No. 13.

The San Francisco 49ers are in discussions with other teams to move into the top-15.

The 49ers are not scheduled to pick until No 31, but own 15 picks and almost assuredly will consolidate them to move up or back into the 2014 NFL Draft.

the 49ers have needs at cornerback, wide receiver and the defensive line.

The Oakland Raiders are receiving a lot of interest from teams interested in trading up to acquire the third overall pick.

The Raiders presumably would prefer to trade down to acquire additional assets as they do not own a second round pick.

"It's red-hot," said one source about the interest the Raiders are receiving.

The New England Patriots have received calls from multiple teams inquiring about the availability of Ryan Mallett.

Mallett was a third round pick by the Patriots in 2011 and continues to backup Tom Brady at quarterback.

The Patriots would like more than a third round pick for Mallett as they have invested the past two seasons in developing him.

The Cleveland Browns have long been favorites to acquire Mallett.

Three sources said the odds are stronger that the Patriots trade Mallett.

The New York Jets are taking calls from rival teams that are interested in moving up in the 2013 NFL Draft.

The Jets, who are rebuilding this offseason, would presumably be interested in converting one of their first round picks into additional assets.

"I think the real substantive talks will come tomorrow," said general manager John Idzik. "I think we're in a position at No. 9 and No. 13 in the first round to get two really good players, but it also opens up the gates for potential alternatives, potentially trading down and picking up more players. We'll be open minded about it. This is a very deep draft."

Idzik said the Jets' decision would be based on "the talent available when we pick."

The Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs have resumed talks about a trade involving offensive tackle Branden Albert.

The Dolphins would likely trade one of their two second round picks to the Chiefs for Albert.

Albert would likely agree to a long-term deal as a condition of the trade.

Albert has signed the franchise tender with the Chiefs for 2013 worth $9.828 million.

Darrelle Revis has agreed to a six-year, $96 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The New York Jets agreed to trade Revis to the Buccaneers for the 13th overall pick this season and a conditional pick next season.

The contract has no guaranteed money.

The conditional pick headed to the Jets is a fourth-round selection in 2014, but could become a third-rounder if Revis is on Tampa Bay's roster on the third day of the 2014 league year.

Revis underwent a physical with the Buccaneers on Sunday, which he passed.
