RBs can be found everywhere plus ETN and Hasty are performing. I like JRob but you have to look at this through the lens of a team which just spent record amounts of free agent money. It’s business.

I know they probably weren't getting more than a 6th given the circumstances, but I would have kept him at that compensation level and taken my chances with a comp pick in 2024 if the front office was dead set on not re-signing him.

I think morale may have been a factor. His post-game comments sure sounded like he wasn't happy to lose his workload, but his lack of production in recent weeks kinda forced the issue. No idea if he asked for this after the game, but I would rather have the pick than someone who begins the rumblings of discontent in the locker room.

And for us to get a comp for losing him? We'd basically have to sign 0 FA. Unless he runs for 1100 this year, he's not gonna be breaking any banks.

Just traded a good player for somebody who likely wont even be on the roster 4 months after we draft him. Baalke hasn't didn't jack [BLEEP] with all the late round picks hes had and I don't see why this will be any different.

ETN has taken some big hits so far this season. I like that he's physical and isn't afraid of contact, but it's likely only a matter of time before he doesn't pop right back up from one of them. Baalke's desperately trying to get his prized possession Snoop Conner on the field I guess.

On the bright side, this is great for my Fantasy team. I got both ETN and JRob.

Or, JRob got supplanted by Hasty. I don't think Connor factors in one iota.

Those true #1 X WRs don't get stood up at the 1 there

...so we're gonna trade for one of those guys?
