Things are heating up as the NFL draft is just around the corner! Each day closer to the draft brings out more of these rumors of teams positioning themselves to make last minute trades or moves up the draft board.
One of the latest NFL trade rumors was that the Detroit Lions were looking to part ways with superstar DT Ndamukong Suh. Suh will make a base salary this year of over 12 million dollars and has been a leader for the Lions but has also been called the dirtiest player in football. The lions might be looking to see if there is any interest to free up cap space and dump a problem child.
Kyle Orton might also be looking for a new team soon as he seems to be at odds with the Dallas Cowboys as he missed mandatory time which cost him a hefty $75,000 fine!
The 49ers now say that they have no interest in trading running back LaMicheal James. The 49ers are very deep when it comes to star running backs which we though earlier would make James expendable. We will have to see how this all plays out in San Francisco. The 49ers are also rumored to be looking to trade up the board into the top 5 to pick up a marquee player that they indeed have their eye on. Speculation is that you might be seeing Mike Evans in a 49er uniform if they have their way!
