Oct. 11, 2006) -- With the NFL's trade deadline looming Tuesday, here are five deals that absolutely should be -- but foolishly won't be -- made. 1) Oakland wide receiver Randy Moss (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/12576) to the New England Patriots for a first-round pick: New England already has two No. 1 picks, the second of which it acquired from Seattle for wide receiver Deion Branch (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/302177). Take one and deal it to Oakland for the game's most talented wide receiver. If New England could get Corey Dillon (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1681) to buy into being a Patriot, then it could do the same for Moss.

Porter has destroyed much of his value, but he's still worth a third-round pick that could climb to a second based on playing time.
3) San Diego running back Michael Turner (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/493097) to the Philadelphia Eagles for a second-round pick: Before Turner becomes a restricted free agent after this season, San Diego should get a second-round pick for him now. And Philadelphia should give it up. A back such as Turner could be the difference between a good season and a great one.
4) Seattle wide receiver Darrell Jackson (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/187568) to Kansas City for a second-round pick: The Chiefs are lacking quality wideouts and the Seahawks have a surplus of them. Plus, Seattle's future revolves around Branch and Nate Burleson (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/395935), not Jackson. Might as well get a quality pick for a quality player who would be happier elsewhere.
5) Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1028) for Dallas quarterback Tony Romo (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/396886) and a third-round pick: This would be the equivalent of baseball teams trading a Hall of Famer for a quality young arm. And think how happy T.O. would be, getting to play with the quarterback he wanted to play with instead of Donovan McNabb (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/133361).
Problem is, the Packers never will trade Favre. And these other trades aren't much more likely.
But just because they won't happen doesn't mean they don't make sense.

what a moron- how can he say Oakland should trade two WR's?

Because Oakland needs to start over again.

A High School JV team would beat them right now.

very true, but how is trading their two best receivers in the middle of a season going to make them better? It's basically like giving up and they've only played 4 games.

Number 5 was stupid. Brett Favre, if he ever did get traded, wouldn't go to some team with their starting QB already settled. He'd need to go some without a real QB like Detroit, Oakland, or Tennessee. Yeah, I know Bledsoe could lose his job but Parcells is going to go with a young gun over ANOTHER tired veteran.

Schefter is one of the biggest douche bags in sports talk.

Brett Favre for Tony Romo??? WTF?? How about Willis McGahee for Curtis Martin.

They might go 0-16... and everybody was saying bringing back Art Shell was genious, bringing Marv as a GM was ridiculous.

The only thing that is ridiculous is how :limp: and bogus the media is becoming. There is no integrity or accuracy in reporting anymore.

things aren't getting any better for the Raiders with moss and porter now.getting rid of those two cancers would make them a better team in the future.
