Duke Johnson Requests Trade

[RustyBourneHorse]

I would take him.

As would I, and he's a FA.

how the HELL are the iggles interested in all these backs/players? lol...where they getting the money? If Duke Johnson goes to philly that will be huge news. But it is a deep and talented group of backs in this draft class...cheaper than him.

I think they'll find cap problems before long. Though, it might help that they do a lot of trades.

I'd do this with our comp 4th and not look back.......he lockdown our backup position for the next 3 years. We can line him up at backup RB, slot and even WR. In fact, we could have a few packages with him and Zeke on the field together.

When you realize you were traded to Philly for a sack of pennies to block for a QB made of glass

I actually will reject this and take Darrell Henderson with that pick or our 5th round pick. I think he's a better option.

Howard has that "well, they think I'm better than Wendall Smallwood" look on his face.

 

[Rayman70]

philly will be good in all areas except the one area it matters most, QB. Have fun with Wentz ..errr "wince" philly fans.

The thing about Duke vs a rookie, you're getting a damn good back who will hit the ground running.

Our staff couldn’t figure out how to use him.

Using him is easy
Taking Zeke off the field is not so easy

agree totally. Henderson is the total package and has a low center of gravity. HARD TO LOCATE AND TACKLE. He's a fast bowling ball. Has productivity for days and days...and stays on the field. Its a deep rb class this year.

You can get similar production out of a rookie and at a fraction of the cost. I still think the Cowboys sign a free agent over the next few weeks and draft a back late.

If I were a professional athlete on the Cleveland Browns roster, I would request a trade too.

 

[Rayman70]

if Im the RB coach on draft day, I would be pounding the table for Darrell Henderson. I actually think the kid will be a star and can start day 1 if called upon. Forget his height..look at his weight and build. He's all muscle and gets it done.

I don’t think it’s 5 mil a year
His base salaries are like 10 over next 3 yrs

He has that determined look to prove them wrong

Exactly right. I think he's a much better move than Duke Johnson. Younger and cheaper. In fact, we'd have a bit of a luxury with him considering that I think he could probably start on most teams, but he'd flourish here as a change of pace for Zeke.

Yeah, Helman's wrong here. His cap hits for the next 3 years would 2.3M, 4.1M, 5.1M.

 

[conner01]

Yeah, Helman's wrong here. His cap hits for the next 3 years would 2.3M, 4.1M, 5.1M.

And you can subtract 750k a year
His signing bonus is done paid

yup and if Zeke should be a knucklehead and get in trouble, this would be a nice player to install into the lineup. OR if Zeke holds out later..or even wants too much money and goes to another team, this guy can carry the load with no issue.
