NFL teams are not typically in the busine s of making big in-season trades.Complementary pieces are, of course, swapped with some regularity, and this offseason included a handful of eye-catching deals, but the annual trade deadline Mike Ditka Jersey usually does not produce the kind of frenzy one might see in MLB or the NBA.Still, with this year's Nov. 3 deadline rapidly approaching, I thought I'd come up with a list of trades I'd like to see. Before we dive into the list, I should note that, with the market being as tough as it is, getting fair value for a player will be difficult, with price in terms of draft picks generally being a round lower than what it should be based on talent. I should also emphasize that these are not predictions, merely hypothetical trades that would make sense if they came to pa s. In other words, some teams are included in multiple deals below, but that doesn't nece sarily mean I expect any one team to actually pull off every move I suggest. Below is the list, arranged in alphabetical order by player name:Vernon Davis, TE, to the BroncosDenver seems to be mi sing tight end , who departed via free agency last offseason. Through the team's first six games last season, Thomas had nine touchdown catches, two more than the entire pa s-catching corps has thus far in 2015. As good as their defense is, the have a quarterback who's been struggling and is nearing the end of the trail. They have to do everything po sible to win it all this year, and the more weapons they can give , the better. Davis is stuck on a bad Niners team that needs to retool. The 31-year-old hasn't done much this season, but it looks like he has enough in the tank to contribute on a competitor. I'd expect Davis to get a big psychological boost in moving from a cellar-dweller to a contender. I could see him traded for a sixth-round pick.(UPDATE: On Monday, in exchange for Denver's 2017 sixth-round pick, with the teams also swapping late-round picks in 2016.)Matt Forte, RB, to the BroncosForte, who is set to hit free agency this offseason, is a good runner and a good receiver -- he's everything you want on a short-term basis. I think it'd be easy enough for the veteran back to adjust to a new scheme in-season; in fact, I think he'd be a pretty good fit for Gary Kubiak's system. I would think he could learn the system Kyle Fuller Jersey and his responsibilities quickly, especially with the jolt of extra motivation that comes from joining an elite team. Forte will turn 30 in December and is in his eighth pro season, but he looks every bit as good today as he did coming out of Tulane, with 507 rushing yards ( in the NFL) and 698 yards from scrimmage (fourth-most). Denver's could really use a back of Forte's caliber. If I were the , I'd hope to get a third-round pick for him, but in this trade market, I could see him moving for a fourth. Of course, the their fourth-round pick last April, so that could get tricky. Adding Forte would take priority over adding a tight end like Davis.Tamba Hali, OLB, to the FalconsThe 2-5 should think about selling off some veterans. The 31-year-old Hali is set to be a free agent, and Kansas City has a former first-round draft pick in presumably waiting in the wings to replace Hali. Hali might be in his 10th season, but he's coming off in which he also forced a fumble, and he could definitely help the . Atlanta ranks but , with a -- if Hali can boost the ' pa s rush, their defense could suddenly become a factor. He's probably worth a fifth-rounder, but I'd be happy with a sixth if I were the .Alshon Jeffery, WR, Mitchell Trubisky Jersey to the GiantsNFL Media insider Ian Rapoport that Jeffery is thought to be among the players Chicago is highly unlikely to trade. But the fact is, he's in the final year of his contract, and his agent, Eugene Parker, is a tough negotiator. While the team could turn to the franchise tag to keep Jeffery on, it might behoove the to see what they could get for him in a deal. He's not a speedy big-play guy, but he's a dependable pa s-catcher who can move the chains. The could use him to add depth, especially as they're still waiting on to get healthy. Of course, the signability factor limits Jeffery's trade value to the point that Chicago might not get more than a fifth- or sixth-round pick back.Calvin Johnson, WR, to the PanthersThe thing that might make 1-6 Detroit want to move Johnson -- his high salary -- is also the thing that makes trading him very difficult. However, this is about trades I'd like to see, and Johnson to the makes sense. 6-0 Carolina has obviously been pretty good, but the William Perry Jersey team needs a wide receiver, and I'm not sure how far the can get without adding help. And while the 30-year-old Johnson might be picking up fewer yards per catch this season (13.3) than at any other point in his career, he would definitely qualify as help. Of course, Johnson's true value -- the face of the ' franchise would be worth a second-round pick at least -- is much higher than what the team could likely get for him on the market: something like a fifth-rounder, given the level of money involved. Perhaps the , who would also have to do some tinkering to make the numbers work, would do well to look toward Jeffery instead.Derrick Johnson, ILB, to the PackersThe tend to prefer to build from within, but their run defense has been a weak David Montgomery Jersey spot this season, and Johnson could be exactly what they need to ensure a push. Johnson is 32 and coming off an Achilles injury, but he's playing well this year, having contributed 38 tackles, four pa ses defensed, a pick and a sack. He's simply a darn good football player, someone who can stop the run but also make plays in space. Rookie has made two starts and is waiting in the wings for Kansas City, and the could ship Johnson to Green Bay for a sixth-round pick.Ronald Leary, OG, to the SteelersThe have a hole at left tackle, , and acquiring Leary would allow them to move someone like guard into that spot. Leary lost his starting job in Dallas to talented rookie , and he is injury-prone, but he'd still represent an upgrade for Pittsburgh, which could stand to add protection for . I could actually see Leary fetching a relatively high price, perhaps a fourth-rounder.Sean Smith, CB, to the PatriotsThree years ago, Bill Belichick when he plucked from the Bucs. This season, Smith could be Belichick's Talib. The seventh-year pro fits the ' mold as a tall (6-foot-3) corner with long arms, and he could really help their secondary. I could see him moving for a sixth-rounder.Follow Gil Brandt on Twitter __.
