Sproles was never a "speed back", he is elusive but not fast. He has become a lit less elusive the last year and ended up the victim of a lot of one arm tackles.

He was definitely fast aswell. Few backs in the NFL had his explosion. But he lost a step last year, and it showed. I am only shocked that we couldn't trade him. Still not far removed from being an extremely productive player, and I thought for sure we could get a mid round pick for him. Releasing him seems like a waste, but what can you do? We have guys who think they deserve more than they're worth, and with limited options you have to bite the bullet.
