Giants have options if they want to trade Nicks

There is a growing trade market for Hakeem Nicks if the Giants are so inclined. And with leaks popping up everywhere on the Good Ship Coughlin, they should be so inclined, with 15 days until the Oct. 29 deadline:

Packers: Wide receivers Randall Cobb and James Jones left Sunday’s game with leg injuries.

Patriots: Danny Amendola (head) can’t stay healthy, and Nicks would help Tom Brady’s chances of surviving a playoff shootout with Peyton Manning.

Lions: Matthew Stafford would pound the table for a bookend for Calvin Johnson, after Nate Burleson was lost to injury in the pizza crash.

Chiefs: Nicks immediately would replace Dwayne Bowe as Alex Smith’s Go-To Guy.

Ravens: Their trade of Anquan Boldin left Joe Flacco without a complement for Torrey Smith.

Falcons: Tony Gonzalez cut his retirement short to chase that elusive Super Bowl. Who better to replace Julio Jones opposite Roddy White?

Panthers: A homecoming for Nicks, and don’t forget that Steve Smith is 34.

Titans: Kenny Britt is on his way out.
