It seems to be a matter of when -- not if -- they pull the trigger on a trade. Derrick Blaylock and Cedric Houston, both trying to fill the Curtis Martin void, combined for only 29 yards on 11 carries in the 16-3 loss to the Bucs.

According to Daily News staffer Rich Cimini, the list of possible candidates includes Ladell Betts (Redskins), Lee Suggs (Browns), Marcel Shipp (Cards), Cedric Cobbs (Broncos) and Chris Brown (Titans).
