Getty ImagesLast year at this time, the NFL was on the eve of the annual trade deadline. This year, the trade deadline has been moved, from the Tuesday after Week Six to the Tuesday after Week Eight.
As usual, any significant trade activity likely will be deferred until the new moment at which the clock strikes 12 on doing deals.
The league decided to postpone the deadline in order to promote additional movement. The movement will hinge largely on any injuries that may happen in the next two weekends of games.
Last year, a Week Six broken collarbone suffered by former Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell sparked a frenetic effort to pry “retired” quarterback Carson Palmer away from the Bengals. If it happened one week later, the Raiders wouldn’t have had that option.

“If it happened one week later, the Raiders wouldn’t have had that option.”
We can only wish…..
I hope Ted Thompson comes to his senses and trades Jermichael Finley at the deadline. Packers would be just fine with Quarless, Crabtree, Williams and Taylor at TE.
I wonder the Raiders regret it?
Couldn’t had any of a # of better QB’s in this year’s draft if they had waited.

Steven Jackson for a number 2 pick
Now Palmer needs to retired!!!
I’m calling it here. chiefs will trade bowe to Texans. I’m probably wrong but I thought I’d try
Tebow from the Jets to the Raiders for their 2013 1st round pick and a pack of M&M’s
Palmer’s arm is still twice as strong as Dalton’s.

This is why you don’t let GMs/Coaches on their way out make long term decisions for your team. Palmer was acquired because Jackson knew he was gone after the season without the playoffs. He didn’t care about next season or the year after that. He only cared about remaining employeed for 1 more year.
dc9sports63, what kind of idiot are you? English is not your forte,”needs to retired”? you are an illiterate fool.
Terrelle Pryor wishes Campbell’s injury would have happened a week later.
MJD should be auctioned! As should every other Jag.
Hue Jackson is an embarrassment. Just an NFL coach impersonator.
