On The Bubble

It's called being an intelligent person and fan. No one is trading for those guys, especially as a package. You've lost your mind.

Especially as a package?

No, I haven't lost my mind, you're just an idiot.

Bell and a 7th for Barner or Haynes wouldn't be a bad deal at all for either of those teams. Maybe Broyles and a 6th would land us one of those guys? There's a shortage of NFL-caliber QBs out there right now, so maybe some team would be interested in Moore as their 3rd guy and he and a pick could net us a return specialist.

That's called a package when you give a player and a pick (or multiple players/picks), and most other teams like getting more back in return, rather than less. It's called common sense- very popular in league circles, apparently...

The issue is that the competition level is so high in the NFL. It's difficult for nearly every team to trim down to the final 53. Why trade for injury prone players like Bell and Broyles who have ZERO experience in their teams playbooks for younger players with higher upside who have already been through their training camps, learning their playbooks already. Nobody is trading and wasting a roster spot on those guys, even if it is a late rounder.

All depends on what teams have what needs. You see a lot of fringe players traded for fringe players as teams try to improve areas where they may have a hole at, especially before the last preseason game so they have a chance to evaluate the new players. I'm not saying we should try to trade any of these guys for a starter, we're specifically taking about a pair of end-of-the roster RBs here.

Veterans + draft picks can really appeal to teams in exchange for a young #4/#5 RB...

Broyles has to have less than zero trade value.

Kellen Moore will become strong trade bait the day he joins the Denny's franchise summer softball league.

I would trade a hot, taco bell fart for him.

Watch Broyles sign with Green Bay, actually play, and beat the shit out of Caldwell. Could happen.

If there was a scared smiley, I would have used it for your post.

He'll be motivated, wherever it is he ends up, however it is he gets there.

Nahhhh
He's a fringe player the rest of his career. He might have one or two more seasons of being a benchwarmer.

But he'll be a motivated benchwarmer.

Yup, and I will go on record as saying it will be the wrmest bench in all of football.

Arizona?

 

[Old Lion]

Arizona?

Possibly. NE maybe. A team where they just need someone to make a catch on 3rd down to move the sticks. He could be a role player at best somewhere.

 

[tpaulus_2]

Looks like TE3 just got un-sorted out.

Will it be Fauria, Wright, or both?

 

[Quackerjacked]

Igwneahu? actually lined up in a bunch formation to open the game against Jacksonville. We don't need a 4th tight end unless it's taking up a WR spot. Who are we dropping for Wright? Fuller, Lance Moore, or Ross? Oh wait I love that idea.

I'd like to see us find a return specialist elsewhere, and keep Wright over Ross, myself. I think a Joique Bell for Kenjon Barner trade would be perfect from a roster spot standpoint...

I dont see any interest until he gets on the field. Who knows if he can still move or not.

Now, Now, Old Lion , Bell does have that shared record with Bush, as being the only tandem RB's to both have over 500 yds. in rush/receiving in same season 2013. He still had decent totals last year with over 300 rec. yards, all the while with a 40% drop in recpt. last year , compared to 2013/2012, 850+ in rush last year, not to mention 3 years straight of 400+ rush yards.

Joique Bell: Career Stats at NFL.com

by no means am I trying to say he's great but I can surely find (through search) many a rb with worse ypc avg. than his 3.9 in two of those seasons 2013/2014.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

^^^^^^

I'd still rather have Zach Zenner as my #1 RB with Ameer as my 1A.

 

[Rollingthndr]

Zenner is like the great white hope at RB.
