I wonder how much a team would be willing to give up for a RB that had injury problems in High School, injury problems in College and hasn't made it through one NFL game without getting hurt, and even injured himself while rehabbing an injury?

I wouldn't think twice if we could get a decent player on D. He is not our best rb, you have to get out the tub to be in that conversation. So far this year, he is our fourth best rb.

There's no linebacker worth Ivory on the market right now.

Offense has been winning our games. I don't like it like that, but...

Hell no is my answer.

I like Ivory, but if the Saints were to get someone like Patrick Willis or DeMarcus Ware for him... I'd say yes in a heart beat, but that's never going to happen, because he is still very unproven and has the health concerns Danno alluded to already.

Not only that but he would have to fit our cap number.
With Brees yet to sign, we might have to cut Tom Benson to fit Brees under the cap.

No offense to Mr. Shanle, but if we could trade Ivory for a replacement, I'd kick in an nickle.

No way I would let him go!

If we bring Ivory along slowly he can get some valuable reps later in the season, give the other backs time to rest or rehab, and it brings up his value. I truly believe that we will trade one back next year, we could even package that with a receiver if necessary. Remember we don't have a first round draft pick. If our backs continue to roll we may have some great trading leverage.

It would have to bwe one hell of an LB - Seriously. And there is no way anyone will give up a LB that good.
