When the Cowboys drafted tight end Gavin Escobar in the second round of this year’s NFL Draft, it all but sealed the fate of Hanna in Dallas. But Escobar has underperformed so far this season, probably making Hanna to valuable to let go of now. Still, his days in Dallas are numbered. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hanna was traded in some sort of package deal as the Cowboys also have tight end Andre Smith on the roster. Hanna has tremendous potential and it’s just too bad we will not get to see him blossom in Dallas.

Potential trade partners: New England Patriots, New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans
