It's expected that Tarvaris Jackson will be traded or released by Friday. If the Vikings are able to trade Jackson, it would seem they would prefer to deal him out of the conference. However, because Jackson knows the Vikings' offense, the hapless Detroit Lions could have interest. The best Minnesota could expect in a Jackson trade would be a seventh-round draft pick. The Vikings used a second-round pick to draft him four years ago.

Marvin Harrison is an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and one of the NFL's most productive receivers all-time. And over the years with the Colts, he had his share of good days against the Titans. But don't look for him to be joining them. A report on ESPN tonight indicated the Titans had reached out to Harrison and are one of the teams interested in him. It seems like every time a notable receiver is on the market the Titans get linked to him.
