— -- With the trade deadline looming (Tuesday, 4 p.m. ET), NFL Nation reporters take a look at players on every team who could draw interest in potential trades:

AFC EAST

Buffalo Bills:  Percy Harvin. The Bills are 3-4 and in desperate need of a win, so trading away a player probably isn't in their plans. Still, there could be an incentive to move Harvin given his "personal" issue that kept him from traveling to London with the team two weeks ago. If the Bills don't feel that they'll get what they need from Harvin over the final nine games, why not try to get something for him? His lingering hip injury would be a stumbling block to any deal, but the final two years of his three-year contract will void five days after the upcoming Super Bowl, making a trade more palatable financially for another team. -- Mike Rodak

AFC NORTH

Baltimore Ravens:  Eugene Monroe. The Ravens wanted a franchise left tackle so bad that they traded picks in the fourth and fifth rounds to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Monroe in 2014 and then signed him to a five-year, $37.5 million deal before the 2014 season. Monroe has not lived up to that investment, struggling to protect Joe Flacco's blind side. But Monroe is a former first-round pick who is only 28 years old, which could intrigue some teams. The problem is, it's hard to see a team picking up Monroe's sizable contract given his durability issues this season. He's been inactive for half of the eight games. -- Jamison Hensley

AFC SOUTH

Houston Texans:  Jumal Rolle and Xavier Su'a-Filo. The Texans have an abundance of cornerbacks, especially with rookie Kevin Johnson developing quickly. They tried to trade Jumal Rolle or Charles James before their original cut down to 53 players, but weren't able to. Since his return to the roster, James has been instrumental in the Texans' special teams, and is a big part of why they have improved in that phase recently. Rolle has taken special-teams snaps, but he has been used sparsely on defense. When the Texans used him more on defense, he was instinctive and created turnovers. The Texans could afford to part with him and he might draw hypothetical interest from others. Another hypothetical trade prospect is Su'a-Filo. The second-year guard hasn't panned out as the Texans hoped when they drafted him with the first pick of the second round in 2014. He has played in only three games this season, in part because of injuries and in part due to depth at guard. Another team might think a change of scenery, or perhaps a different system, would suit him better. -- Tania Ganguli

AFC WEST

Denver Broncos: Shaquil Barrett and Lerentee McCray. The Broncos have depth at outside linebacker with Barrett and McCray, so some team could come calling about both players. But at 7-0, the Broncos aren't looking to deal depth. It would take a remember-when offer for them to part with anybody at this point. They also like what they've seen from their young offensive line of late, particularly right tackle Michael Schofield. So barring one of those jaw-dropping offers, they won't be looking to add in the offensive line, the position where they have battled injuries the most to this point. -- Jeff Legwold

NFC EAST

Dallas Cowboys:  Gavin Escobar. A second-round pick in 2013, he has not been able to supplant James Hanna as the second tight end behind Jason Witten. He has not caught a pass in five weeks and has four receptions for the season. He is signed through next year, but the Cowboys might be able to get a late-round pick for him from a team needing a pass-catching tight end. The lack of production is a shared responsibility between Escobar and the coaching staff. The Cowboys have Geoff Swaim as a third tight end if they moved Escobar, but the likelihood of something happening is slim. -- Todd Archer

NFC NORTH

Chicago Bears:  Matt Forte. The soon-to-be 30-year old tailback is about to reach free agency. Forte is still a multipurpose threat, but Chicago balked at extending his contract in the offseason. The veteran would flourish on a contender with enough salary-cap space to absorb Forte's approximately $415,000 weekly game check. Forte, however, suffered a right knee injury in Week 8 that is not believed to be serious. But it could complicate his attractiveness to teams in need of backfield help. -- Jeff Dickerson

NFC SOUTH

Atlanta Falcons:  Tevin Coleman and William Moore. Running back-needy teams probably would be enticed just to see what the Falcons have to say about the rookie running back Coleman, who suddenly has become a forgotten man with the emergence of Devonta Freeman as the NFL's leading rusher. Coleman still has plenty of value for the Falcons as a potent one-two combo with Freeman. He flashed big-play potential in the opener against Philadelphia. As for the 30-year-old Moore, he is a veteran safety who hasn't been able to stay healthy. The Falcons value his leadership in a young secondary, but another team with inexperienced safeties might value the same. Moore, who will make $3.5 million this season, has two more years left on his contract at $4.9 million next season and $6.8 million in 2017. -- Vaughn McClure

NFC WEST

Arizona Cardinals:  Bobby Massie. The fourth-year right tackle is in the final year of his rookie deal, and with first-round pick D.J. Humphries patiently waiting in the wings, it's highly unlikely Massie will be brought back next season. After starting all 16 games as a rookie, Massie didn't start in 2013 when the Cardinals signed veteran tackle Eric Winston before training camp. Arizona returned to Massie in 2014 and he has been the starter since. For a team that needs a tackle, Massie could provide immediate help -- Josh Weinfuss
