I'd do that deal in a heartbeat.

You're nuts.

You get it.

To everyone wanting to dump Yeldon, let's say the team trades Yeldon away in exchange for a seventh-round pick. Fournette gets injured and misses significant time. Now we've got Chris Ivory and Corey Grant as the only running backs on the team. Does that seem like a recipe for success to you guys?

A run-heavy team like the Jaguars needs three backs who could shoulder the load at least somewhat effectively. Fournette can do so with ease. Ivory can do it, but he'd need to be spelled by Grant. Grant's come a long way, but he can't carry the load as a lead back. Yeldon has in the past and could again with some degree of competency if necessary. Hell, if Yeldon had special teams ability, I think he'd be active over Grant. If we do trade Yeldon for a seven, we're basically trading him for a guy we're going to cut in camp next year. Why not let Yeldon be the guy who either gets cut in camp next year or does enough to stick as the third or fourth back again?
