Earlier in the year the NFL and NFLPA came to an agreement to push back the trade deadline a couple weeks to October, 30. The primary reason for this was to make the deadline actually mean something around the league. The idea was that teams would be in a better position to gauge where they are and make decisions about trading players.

Due to the monster storm that is currently hitting the east coast of the United States, the NFL made the decision to push back the deadline until Thursday. There are obvious reasons for this. The league offices are closed due to the storm. You cannot make a trade without getting league approval. With the office closed, approval isn’t possible.

With that in mind, there are a multitude of different players currently on the trade block. Let’s take a look at which players could move, where they could end up and possible fantasy impacts.

DeAngelo Williams, Running Back, Carolina Panthers

The Charlotte Observer is reporting that Williams’ days in Charlotte are “numbered.” Even without a general manager, it is possible for Carolina to make deals as it will be utilizing a committee of front office execs to make personnel decisions.

Williams is in the second season of a five year, $43 million contract, but has failed to live up to the deal. He has rushed for just 210 yards and is averaging 3.4 per attempt over the course of the Panthers' first seven games. In order for Williams to make a fantasy impact he will need to be a featured running back...That isn't going to happen in Carolina with Jonathan Stewart in the backfield and Cam Newton's running ability. 

There are a whole host of teams that make sense for Williams. Among his top suitors should be the Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers, both among the worst rushing teams in the National Football League. Arizona is currently missing its top two running backs in the form of Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams. It also put up a total of seven rushing yards against the San Francisco 49ers in a 24-3 loss Monday night. Meanwhile, Cedric Benson is injured in Green Bay and hasn't really given it the team a true starting running back that it has been missing since Ryan Grant was in his prime. 

Steven Jackson, Running Back, St. Louis Rams

More of a rent-a-player here than anything else. Jackson's skills have fallen off a great deal over the course of the 2012 season and he is currently reaching that age where running backs start to hit a wall. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that St. Louis has fielded multiple calls from possible suitors for the future Hall of Fame running back. Schefter suggests that the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals make sense for Jackson. As he indicated, Green Bay has shown interest in Jackson in the past. 

Let's take a look at Pittsburgh for a second. Rashard Mendenhall was inactive yet again on Sunday against the Washington Redskins. He has yet to fully recover from a late-season injury in 2011 and shouldn't be counted on to make much of an impact moving forward. While Steelers' general manager Kevin Colbert has been quiet on the trade and free agent front, this deal makes some sense for the team. 

Jackson would give Roethlisberger some sense of balance on the offensive side of the ball and could actually shoulder the load if need be. If the veteran running back were to end up in Pittsburgh, he would be an immediate RB2 option in standard leagues, a far cry from his ceiling as a FLEX option right now. 

LeGarrette Blount, Running Back, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

It is looking more and more like Blount will be moved prior to Thursday's trade deadline. Doug Martin has proven himself capable of carrying the load in Tampa, which has made Blount expendable in the view of its front office. Though Blount is two years removed from a 1,000-yard season, he will still provide value for a team looking at adding a strong backup option. 

As it relates to his fantasy value, Blount has never been a consistent performer in that category. Short of a move to a team in need of a starting running back, this probably won't change much. Pure conjecture, but the Cleveland Browns and Atlanta Falcons could both be options for Blount. 

Cleveland doesn't have a real backup to Trent Richardson at this point and could use a solid short-yardage running back. Meanwhile, it is becoming increasingly evident that Jacquizz Rodgers isn't going to be as productive as many thought when the season started. Rodgers is averaging just 3.5 yards per attempts in 2012. Additionally, it had been noted in the past that Atlanta was looking to lower the workload for one' Michael Turner. 

Michael Vick, Quarterback, Philadelphia Eagles

There are no indications that Philadelphia has put Vick on the trade block. More importantly, there are no indications that teams around the league would even show the slightest amount of interest in picking up his $100 million contract. 

Still, it appears that Vick will be benched in lieu of rookie Nick Foles..Never a good sign for someone that was being relied on to lead a team to a championship. Even a worst sign for that teams highest paid player. 

If someone like the Kansas City Chiefs or Buffalo Bills came calling, Philadelphia might be inclined to listen. Neither Matt Cassel or Brady Quinn are long-term solutions in Kansas City, while Ryan Fitzpatrick has continues to struggle with mistakes. Listen, Vick is as mistake prone as any of these quarterback, maybe even more so. That being said, he is playing in a west coast offense that doesn't seem to fit his abilities all too well. He might be able to fix those turnover issues on another team and in a new offense. 

Jared Cook, Tight End, Tennessee Titans

Interestingly enough, it is being reported by various news outlets that Cook has requested a trade from Tennessee. Apparently he isn't happy with not being featured in its offense a great deal this season. Cook has played in about 50 percent of the Titans' snaps this season. 

I had the young tight end as a major fantasy sleeper heading into the season, but he is currently on pace for less receptions and yards than 2011. Of course a lot of that has to do with playing time. For what it's worth, and take it with a grain of salt, Titans' head coach Mike Munchak "Can't see a situation where the team would trade Cook." 

There would be ample interest in Cook's services if he were to hit the open market. The Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins seem like likely destinations. Kellen Davis leads all Bears' tight ends with just 10 receptions and has struggled making a consistent impact in the passing game. Meanwhile, Anthony Fasano, despite success this season, isn't much more than a mediocre tight end for the Dolphins. 

Dwayne Bowe, Wide Receiver, Kansas City Chiefs

There has been a lot of talk about the Miami Dolphins being interested in Bowe. This seems to make a lot of sense considering that they have all the ingredients for a dynamic offense outside of a true No. 1 wide receiver. Miami also possesses an additional second and third round pick in the 2013 NFL, pickes acquired by trading away veterans Vontae Davis and Brandon Marshall. 

If Bowe were to go to Miami, who has a capable starting quarterback in the form of Ryan Tannehill (yes, I said it CAPABLE), he would immediately become a top-tier fantasy wide receiver. Meanwhile, teams like the St. Louis Rams and Carolina Panthers could also show interest in the dynamic former Pro Bowl wide receiver.
