I agree I wouldn't get rid of him for a 7th rounder

No way he is only worth a 7th. 5 yd avg and a bruiser. Cap hit is next to nothing. Browns would give up a 4th in a heartbeat. With that being the case he won't be going anywhere!

For an injury prone part time one-dimensional running back who had about 12 good games in his entire two year career?

I don't think they're that dumb.

so that means Ingram and Thomas are not worth a 4th. Both of them appear to be injury prone too. And if im not mistaken Ivroy has a much better avg then those 2

Ivory was injured his entire college career, and was injured in every game he played in the NFL in 2010, then had lizfranc surgery after the season ended (which has ended many careers), then got hurt while rehabbing that injury and was on PUP for the 1st 6 games of 2011.

Ingram and Thomas are Brett Favre-like ironmen compared to Ivory.

Ivory is very cheap, contract-wise, but I really don't think anyone is going to give up much for him
I'd rather have him than a fifth rounder that would probably cost more anyways

Exactly. Only reason I could think of is to free up a roster spot, I don't see us needing anyone that bad.

BGWhoDat · 02-16-2012, 10:22 PM

I'm with that. We definitely don't need anyone to fill that roster spot.

The Saints have the most depth at the running back position in the NFL. It allows players to remain healthy. On top of that, it creates a bit of trouble when preparing for a game for opponents since they have to prepare for all the threats. Each play has different strengths and skill set.

It works. No reason to fix it at all. Finished 8th in rushing in the NFL this season and we're only getting better. A stronger run game opens up our passing game. Evidence was this past season.

Has everyone forgotten that we ran out of running backs in the playoffs against Seattle?

No one has forgotten it, but that was an anomaly, and we didn't lose to Seattle because of our running game.

4 starting RB's is BEYOND a luxury... does another NFL team have even 3?
We continue to spend money on offense, and then we cannot stop Hasselback or Smith, or whoever started for the Rams.
These guys are being talked about as trade bait because we have needs elsewhere, and money is very tight this year
