10-Pack: Trades that should be made before deadline - Mike Florio - NFL - Sporting News

Maybe we could bring in Steven Jackson for a physical and send back
Maroney in his clothes.

Oooh. That would be kinda cool.

Who says Narcolepsy is all bad?

I was just reading that and my eyes started to light up.. Of course it won't happen but if he was available, I would love to see him in the backfield with Brady handing him the ball.. He's a 26 year old RB that can play all three downs..

They have the same hair right?

I'm on board with this if his contract is reasonable. Maroney is from St. Louis and might just need a change of scenery. Would Maroney and our 2010 3rd get it done?

BradyFTW!

That's actually not a terrible idea. What would we give up for him- one of our 2010 2nd rounders? That's probably a little steep for a RB with as much wear on his treads as Jackson has, and he'd have to learn the Pats' offense well enough to be an effective blocker in it, which can't be easy to do mid-season, but I've heard crazier ideas thrown around here and on PFT.

I don't think they'd want Maroney, since if they wanted a RB in his mid-20s with a bit of an injury history and some wear on him, they'd probably just keep Jackson. Maroney will probably remain effective for a couple more years than Jackson, since he's 2 years younger and doesn't take as many hits, but it still doesn't solve the problem at the core of it. IMO, they'd probably just want a draft pick.

I'd love to get him, maybe we could put this godforsaken 5 carries per RB crap to bed once and for all. If the Rams can get decent value for him they need to do it and RB is one of those position that you can step right into - or maybe our offense is too complicated and he'd need 1 1/2 years

How many years does he have left on his contract?
