Under no circumstance do I want to trade high round picks for an "older" RB like Barkley or Taylor. Maybe a Pollard type for a low round pick for insurance and depth.

And I won't mention the 50 things I was right about during that time, or the fact that you have never really advocated for anyone, or the fact that you don't have the balls to back someone that doesn't have instant popularity with everyone.

Barkley opened things up for the Eagles offense so they could win a SB, a stud RB does that, and Taylor could do the same for Minnesota.

What a stud does on a team that doesn't have a great off setting supporting cast, is not that same as what he can do for a team that has the supporting cast. I also believe Lamelo Ball makes the Timberwolves a contender, while just putting up nice offensive stats in Charlotte.

I have seen the Packers build a team, and win 2 Super Bowls, while I lived in Wisconsin. It was moves like getting Reggie White after they got Brett Favre, and then adding DE Sean Jones and TE Kieth Jackson, along with WR Andre Rison. The conservative commenters here, would have said the team can't afford to trade for Reggie White, or Kieth Jackson or Andre Rison, why get those guys when you can get some real bargain guys instead.

It might take some bold moves to win a Super Bowl.

I'd rather have Nelson for that.

I’d rather have the picks.

Trading pick for a shelf life of 4 years out the gate is just dumb..

If a RB is over 4 years in carries his next carry might be his last.

Every time Jones takes a hit, I cringe..

Mason will be at home against a bad defense, while Taylor is on the road against the best defense in the NFL, but Mason has to split his carries with Jones.

Here's a link to his last years highlights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bChIRwHKeuc He looks like he gets through the holes fast and can break tackles for extra yards. Depends on cost?

He will be a RFA in 2027, so chargers can match any Ofer to keep him.

Would probably take a draft pick or two to pry him loose..

I think the Vikings could get him for a 3rd rounder, would that be worth it ?

From what I've been reading the Chargers haven't been happy with Omari Hampton and have reduced his playing time in favor of Vidal. So it could mean Hampton is on the trading block.

(Hunter 11 years ago)

I would think a 5th rounder is premium for a #2 RB much less #3 RB in someones rotation.

Can we just clearly come out on top of a trade once? A reverse Greenard deal …
