According to ESPN's John Clayton on NFL Live, there's "virtually no chance" of a Dwayne Bowe trade before Thursday's deadline.
This is our belief as well. Big-name, high-dollar receivers are poor candidates to be moved at the deadline because it takes too long to learn a new offensive scheme. Brandon Lloyd was the exception to the rule last season because he had already played under Josh McDaniels. Any team dealing for Bowe would have to shell out a draft pick, more than $5 million for the rest of the season, and $11.5 million to franchise him again in 2013.
