Well, he is the one RB we have not talked about trading...and rightfully so. He is a great weapon and key piece in a great offense....BUT...
If we were to trade himwould could do a series of moves to make up for his loss. He makes 3.75 mil this year with 1.5 in dead money. Extend that 1.5 over two years and that is 3 mil in Cap space we save. A team might be willing to give a 3rd for him.
With the 3mil we save we could sign Sebastian Vollmer. We could then draft Tavon Austin to help replace Sproles' productivity. This move would clear up the backfield as Sproles is more of a RB, while Austin is more WR. (Both are dynamic at what they do) WE might even be able to trade back and pick up an extra pick and still get Austin if a team were willing to do that.
It comes down to would you rather have Sproles or Austin and Vollmer and at least one if not two mid round picks?
Keep Sproles or do this, either way we win I think.
Red Thumb Away!
