Wilson, Luck, Rodgers, Watt Headline Barnwell's Trade Value List

Dec 6, 2014 7:52 PM

Brill Barnwell has released his 2014 NFL Trade Value rankings, headlined by Russell Wilson at No. 1 and Andrew Luck at No. 2.

Wilson is ranked ahead of Luck because he is still two years away from being paid market value.

Aaron Rodgers is ranked No. 3, though Barnwell writes that he would rank him as the most talented quarterback in the NFL right now. But Rodgers is 30 and makes far more money than younger, cheaper quarterbacks.

J.J. Watt is the first defensive player on the list and ranks No. 4.

Colin Kaepernick and Cam Newton are ranked No. 5 and No. 6 respectively. 

Robert Quinn is at No. 7 as the second-highest ranked defensive player.

Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan, Drew Brees and Tom Brady rank No. 8-No. 11.

Rokevious Watkins Suspended Four Games For Substance Abuse Violation

Nov 24, 2014 5:10 PM

Rokevious Watkins has been suspended for four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

Watkins was a fifth-round draft pick for the Rams in 2012, and though he reportedly had a chance to win the starting left guard job his rookie season, he reported to training camp 16 pounds overweight and out of shape.

Watkins signed with the Kansas City Chiefs last season after he was cut by the Rams.
