I didn't just shake my head at this thread, I actually got pissed. Give me a freaking break- the guy was arguably the second best running back in the NFL last year and you want to trade him after three games- one of which he ran for 100 yards? You want to become the Browns and have our front office send us the message that they're throwing in the towel on this season? Yeah that'll go over well. Get outta here man. No really, get outta here.

 

Agree. Really.

 

 

 

Wow, I don't know what is more shocking, Stephen Davis still being in the league or FireChan comparing Slaton to Spiller.

 

Firechan is a spiller troll, must have been shunned for an autograph or something. He's been on a spiller crusade for months.

When you say trade Spiller I assume you mean get a #1 for him? After all if the Browns could do it anyone can. I mean it must be in the NFL bylaws somewhere that says you have to get a #1 anytime you ask for one even if no other team wants the guy you are trading.

Spiller is definitely worth more than Richardson.

 

But we do not have any idea what's on offer, and frankly, this team needs a (correctly-used) Spiller.

My point is is there a team willing to give up a #1 right now like the Colts? I say no. In fact I think the Colts were nuts to do what they did. High risk move. One minute we are saying never use a 1 to draft a RB, the next we are saying of course Spiller is worth a 1.

We win were going to the super bowl we lose trade everyone! Same BS different year.

 

No no, a GMs job is to consider all scenarios. You need to be open mined here. Again my insinuation is Spiller is worth more to the team than he would garner in trade, but football is human trafficking and aa race to put the best roster on the field for the least money.

I have to say I would trade Spiller.

 

Cleveland took a lot of heat for trading Trent Richardson but they got good value for him. Spiller and RB's are not the answer in the NFL. They aren't even in the question anymore. As many on here point out, their ability to pass block is probably more important than their ability to run. This team has only one asset of any value - Spiller.

Go ahead and accuse me of trading away the good players. I ask you what is the chance he resigns with the team? At 6 yards a carry last year how many wins did that translate into? This team needs multiple OL, multiple TE's, a gamebreaking WR, two DB's, and now a DE.

It is time to make up for yet another bad decsion by Nix and build this team around the o-line, EJ, and the passing game like every other succesful team is doing.

 

I started typing a well thought out explanation as to why this is a horrible idea...Instead I'll just leave it simple, this is a horrible idea for many reasons. The one simple reason I will provide is that this is young team with many rookies, and rookie coaches. Having a panic attack and trying to give away your good players does not help the team.

JTO, Fergy, Captain - what do you suggest? Put it out there so we can see what you would do. Continue to build through the draft and resign our own? Spend big in FA? Don't spend in FA?

 

At first, I would trade Byrd, by all means necessary, to any team not in the AFC East. Either for a 2nd rounder or a player. A Williams is holding it down just right. I would also entertain dangling M Williams. I feel that Mario disappears frequently and so perhaps it's time to see what we can get in the draft at DE or trade him for a guard. Would live to trade him to Minny for Levitre.

Makes sense. And btw I don't think that any team would give us a #1 for Spiller. Perhaps a number 2, but I am not positive of this. I agree that the Colts got the worst of the Richardson trade, and I'm a Bama Fan.

I bet Minnesota would be ecstatic to trade the rights to Levitre for even a used jock strap.
