[QUOTE=alvinnf;1721438]Shannahan loved him coming out of college. Maybe Washington would make a good trade partner. I can't see him being a part of this team, even with his friendly cap number![/Q
Love to see if we could get Cooley or worse case scenario Santana Moss. 70 receptions from an inconsistent QB in 2009 and veteran leadership. The trade helps both sides.

I guess drafting BUMS like "I never play cuz I suck" Wheatley,"see the back of my Jersey as I get burned...AGAIN" Wilhiite, and "maybe my knee will let me play by my 4th year" Tate, wasn't good enough,we've got a guy that is giving Matt Millen a run for his $ by drafting a mediocre special teams player and giving him 1st Rd. cake.
Pass rush? Uneccessary when you have 72 CBS playing.
Lbs? What for, we have no pass rush, they gonna chuck it at our lousy CBS...all 72 of them bums
I would trade Maroney for a third round pick in this year's draft.
Oakland, Philadelphia and Cleveland own two third round picks. Philadelphia seems like the logical choice to initiate conversations with.
The only other teams selecting in the third round who could've an interest in Maroney, if he's available, are Houston and San Diego.
Note: Some of these players could be released which would place an emphasis on selecting a running back in the draft for that team.
Team's current running backs
Oakland - McFadden, Fargas and Bush
Philadelphia - McCoy, Westbrook (role and future with team uncertain) and Buckley
Cleveland - Harrison (FA), Davis and Jennings
Houston - Slaton (underwent surgery, out indefinitely), Moats, Foster, Henry and Johnson
San Diego - Sproles (FA), Tomlinson (role and future with team uncertain) and Bennett
I can't see him ditched to be honest. But then BB did seem to lose patience at the end of the year.
MY thoughts are that he'll keep him at least until camp, and see if he can get someone from the draft.
If there isn't a strong replacement BB won't roll with 3 over 30 RBs. (hoping Faulk is resigned.)
I just don't see the upside to doing either, we won't save enough or get enough in return. And there's too many other needs IMO to upgrade him.
Traded for 3rd which will be flipped into a 2nd for 2011, if they've met their needs for 3rd this year, which may not be the case since this year's draft will be very deep due to next year's rumored rookie cap.
Even if the cap is still a rumor, players declaring their eligibility will probably want to err on the side of caution and come out this year.
I hope he's back and is given enough carries to get into a good flow during games.
I agree and hope he is the feature back next year. I think he would benefit from getting the majority of the carries and not have to worry about someone else coming in and taking some of his carries.
