Quote:Can you think of any running back trades that have worked out for the team receiving the running back?
Somebody? Anybody?
The Rams getting Marshall Faulk is the only one that really gets close, but without Warner breaking out it might look very different.

Didn't the Steelers trade for Jerome Bus Bettis?

Man, would it be something if the Browns can turn this trade into Hershell Walker 2.0?
Im only upset that I drafted both Trent Richardson and Doug Martin as my starting tandem at RB in fantasy football. First year I didn't make the playoffs

Surprised you didn't gauge that Richardson sucked last year. No way I was drafting that bum on my teams this season.
Shame we don't have much in the way of trade bait and we're in Indy's division be nice to do some deals with Grigson!
Wonder if he will compound the error at draft time and do a crazy trade up
While I have said all along that Trent Richardson deserves a full off-season and training camp with the Colts to help determine if he can be much closer to the player the Colts thought they were getting from the Browns than what they ended up with in 2013, the spin that Ryan Grigson provided today is practically impossible to take seriously:

The most recent example, Marshawn Lynch seems to be doing pretty good.
I was gonna say Marshawn Lynch, too.
the Lynch trade did well for both teams, well more so seattle but Bills still got a second rounder i believe? Either way Im glad to see TR not doing well with Indy, hope he doesnt make some crazy comeback this season. The lack of first rounder is awesome.
Though Cleveland has been good at making deals to acquire picks, they have whiffed on some of their 1st round picks (as if we're in a position to talk, I know). I would call Richardson a bust for a top 3 pick. Weeden just isn't first round talent. Tim Couch. William Green.
What Cleveland does with this pick is vital. Mike Lombardi needs to find another Joe Haden. Another Joe Thomas. And another Alex Mack because I am fairly certain we are in that shark frenzy if he hits the open market. If he isn't tagged, I have to think we're going to throw a high number out there.
