A-train value

[wesleyc288]

Hey fellas, i just got a quick question and comment......arnt we out of a 4th round draft pick this year because of the philly deal to get canty? and do you think that we could have got a 4th or even a 5th for a-train instead of just releasing him? i would think that a team like New Orleans would give a 4th or 5th for a-train considering their lack of running back depth. Werent they intrested at one time, right after duece got hurt?

Trade deadline is passed.

O....that would make sense, my bad.....that was incredibly stupid

A-Train has no trade value because he won't start. He was there to be had by anyone in the offseason, and no one bit. He represents depth for a team that has lost depth. Dallas hopes to go three deep at tailback, so he's worth nada to us (in fact he's a negative because he's taking up a roster spot) and teams know this.

I'll bet the Eagles pick him up.

I think we would have traded him before the deadline had JJ not gotten hurt.

Don't forget we really didn't have a good read on Barber yet either. I'm not sure we would have even if JJ had been healthy.

I think they were shopping him before the deadline and there was limited interest. I'm a little surprised that we couldn't get a cond. 6th or 7th for him...but guess not.
