Is Maurice Jones Drew next?

That Richardson trade seemingly came out of nowhere... with the Jags challenging the Browns for the 1st pick this year what do you think the chances are of MJD getting shipped out? Any fits?

Browns are looking for a RB.

Trades during the season are pretty uncommon in the NFL, so I will be surprised to see more deals follow. Then again, I would be less surprised if the Jags had traded MJD than I am that Cleveland traded Richardson, since it is also very rare for a team to trade a second year player who's coming off a solid rookie year after being taken third overall in the draft. In fact, I'm pretty sure that that has never happened before!

I could see the Browns trying to get DeAngelo Williams or Jonathan Stewart from the Panthers. Those two have been on the trade block for years and they know the new offense.

Yeah I agree... just mainly speculation. I could see MJD getting dealt in the offseason for sure but the regular season is a long shot.

They had a pretty good one... but they're the Browns so I guess he was too good for their standards.

Yeah my bad... meant to post this in the Football Forum, thanks for moving it.

Trent Richardson joins DL John Matuszak as only players since NFL merger to be drafted Top-3, then play for another team the following year.

Wow.

I think if a play-off caliber team has their RB go down like the Colts did, it wouldn't be too far-fetched for them to go after a guy like MJD. Jags wouldn't get a first rounder though. A lot more mileage on him then Richardson. It would also have to be a team with room financially, I would think.

MJD doesn't want to be part of a rebuilding (did I say rebuilding?) project so I can see something happening with him, but not until the season is over...plus he has a lot more miles on him...I can't seem many teams wanting to part with a early to mid-round (3rd/4th) pick unless they're a RB away from being a playoff team.

Suitors...I'd like him in PIT. Tough call on where he might end up though

MJD won't be dealt anywhere in the offseason. This is his contract year. If Jax wants anything for him, they need to trade him before October 29th.

I hope a contender gets Williams. He's doing nothing in JAX for me, so just warming the bench.

I keep waiting on the Pats to trade for a WR. Why not give up a late 1st for a good young WR? They need one.

Whats MJD worth? A 5th? A 6th?
