I'm not saying we should and hope we don't but to say it's not on the table, bringing in all these RB's....looks somewhat probable.

What team would want to trade a 2nd round pick for a RB in the final year of his contract who isnt available for the first 4 games? They'd only be guaranteed this season before he was a FA again. Theres no guarantee he'd re-sign with them.

I would be beyond shocked.

I don't know, maybe a team that loses their top RB's and were undefeated up until that point? I would totally try to get the best RB available if that was the case. Really hard to say what the worth of a RB will be in week 4 or 5 with injuries. If somebody was willing to take AP why would they not want MI.

What's the "damage" for the Davenport trade up to now? 4 or 5 "First Round" picks, the St. Charles Ave. Street Car Line and the Pelicans First Rounder too! "THE MICKSTER" was GM for them once!! EGGSPURTS LOL!!
