The NFL Trade Deadline is today, and there are a few players who could get moved. Oakland Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski could be a name that gets attention.

The Oakland Raiders are going nowhere this season and that’s a pretty good reason to start jettisoning big, veteran contracts to allow rebuilding space. There are players on the Raiders roster who just can’t be moved, as no one is going to pay Matt Schaub his contract for what he is, nor is Charles Woodson worth it at this point.

CBSSports.com’s Jason La Canfora believes that there’s a tradeable player on the Raiders roster, as Sebastian Janikowski is a guy teams like the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints might want to take a look at.

"He doesn’t have the leg he once did, but if I am the Browns or the Saints, for instance, or the Bengals, I’d be intrigued. All his guaranteed money is paid, he makes $2.7M this season and if a team wants to pay him $3M a year in the future, so be it."

It’s hard to be a kicker these days in the NFL as everyone wants the newest, youngest and freshest leg in the NFL. Janikowski has been around forever and he has been with the Raiders ever since Al Davis took him in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft. But his time will eventually come to an end in Oakland, and someone is going to want to take a chance on the kicker.
