You can't blame teams for trying to maximize a player's value, especially among trade deadline madness. But realism has to play a role, too.

The NFL announced its ruling on Jets guard John Simpson's hit on Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson. Here's the full list of Week 8 fines.

Reports over the past few weeks have suggested that Cincinnati Bengals star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson won't be available for trade, but it appears the team might be changing that stance.
