True, but in effect we got rid of Sproles for LB Ronald Powell (the man drafted with the 5th rounder from the Eagles). Something tells me that Sproles had more value to the team...

As for PT, he was not ran into the ground with lots of touches so I think he had more left in the tank than your typical 30 year old RB.

He knew the system, was a good blocker, a good runner, and a master of the screen pass. Dude gave it 110% on the field at ALL TIMES. I hate to see a guy who was so always who did everything they asked him to. I would argue he was NOT used enough...

If this ends up with us getting a good young back, then whatever. If this $$ goes to resigning Mark Ingram then I have to question what they're smoking. Ingram is not worth a big paycheck and stays hurt too much...
