[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.

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

He's the best RB we have, so unless we pick someone up that is an upgrade, why would we get rid of him?

On a side note, I heard on the radio that Maroney and Watson were guys that Pioli really pushed for and may not be Belichick's guys.

There's no cap benefit to cutting him and at the very least, he's quality depth even if the team makes a major move at RB.

I agree JSP ... if it was all about everyone on your roster being good we would have about 20 players.

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 hope he's back and is given enough carries to get into a good flow during games.

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.)

The more I think about this, the more it makes sense that Maroney will
be traded for a 2011 pick.

We all know Belichick loves to stockpile future draft picks while the majority
of teams will be concerned with 2010.

Belichick has a history of trading 3rd round picks for 2nd round picks
the following year.

A team that may be willing to give a 3rd round pick in 2010 for Maroney
may give a 2nd round pick in 2011 for Maroney.

Shanahan, Snyder & the Washington Redskins or the Detroit Lions would
not suprise me.

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 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.
