Cowboys looking at teams for RB trade?

[Galian Beast]

Maybe they are looking at Arian Foster or Justin Forsett.

 

[Questfor6]

My Rankings for tradeworthy RB's
1. AP (Pipedream)

2. Lamar Miller-Philbin for some reason always looks to replace him, explosive player

3. Gio Bernard-explosive dynamite player as a rookie got role diminished by the bulldozer Hill in 2014.

4. Tre Mason- doubt the Rams would move him but he and Gurley is kind of overkill although it is the NFC West

5. Knile Davis- dynamic player but don't see the Chiefs dealing him because Charles has started to catch the injury bug

6. Doug Martin- great rookie year and nothing since. New Regime didnt draft him and are willing to move on

7. Chris Ivory- never gotten a full workload for an entire season but has shined at times when leaned on

8. Christian Michael- The unicorn of the northwest, gets all the hype only to see little to no carries because Marshawn Lynch is beastmode.

Nice list (especially the pipe dream on top)

Dallas needs an every down type workhorse, 1,2, 4 and maybe 8.

I forgot all about Christine Michael. Second round pick, good speed (4.43) but has done next to nothing because of Lynch ahead of him. Of course, the question is, is he any better than Randle, who has done little because of Murray ahead of him? That is the problem with making a trade for one of these guys sitting at backup, are they really any better than what we already have?

Christine would likely be a huge upgrade over Randle however I dont Seattle trading him to us considering we are there biggest threat

If the Cowboys are going to trade for a RB, and I can not believe I am saying this, but if they are going to do it, then Peterson is the only back that I would be willing to give up a decent amount for. Everyone acts like Leary is dispensable now but he was solid last year and we are not 100% sure what Collins will bring. He probably will be great but I am not sure I want to trade Leary in case Collins has a tough time as a rookie. Protecting Romo is my number one priority this year.

Looking at who we could possibly trade for, I do not think anyone out there is necessarily better than what we already have, with the exception of Peterson. Matt Forte has lost a step and I think what we have already is just as good. Same with any Dolphin RB available for trade.

I say we go with what we have or sign someone like Chris Johnson and go. If a trade is going to be made, do it for someone who is obviously better than what we have and the only one who meets that criteria is probably Peterson. I am not saying I want Peterson here, I am very much against it because of what it would likely cost, but if you are gonna make a trade, might as well swing for the fences.

1800 yards is losing a step?

 

[esloan]

1800 yards is losing a step?

Yeah. He did not look to have the explosiveness he used to have. Yeah, he had a lot of yards but only averaged 3.9 a carry. He caught the ball out of the backfield a lot but he still looked a step slow.

Call me crazy... but I would take an 1800 yard back who has lost a step any day of the week... and there still is the fact that AP could have lost the same step and Forte had more yards than AP in 2013 and 2011.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

I'm going to guess Lamar Miller from Miami, Knile Davis from KC and Khiry Robinson from the Saints. Of this bunch Robin doesn't belong on this list with the other 2.

Knile Davis would be an immediate all pro behind this line.

 

[AzorAhai]

Lamar miller would be a stud behind this line

Lamar Miller is the only RB I've seen listed on here that I would trade straight up for Leary. They get minimum contract this year and can put a 2nd Rd RFA tender on him next year. If he's available I would reluctantly give up Leary for him, but enjoy as he feasts on defenses.

 

[Beast_from_East]

And MIA just picked of the OT we released this week (Hawkins), fwtw.

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/...onald-hawkins-off-waivers-20150511-story.html

Exactly...........they need help at OT if they are claiming scrubs off the wavier wire...............good catch Idgit.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Why are people so down on McFadden? Its like most people ignore the fact that he was the best player on a sorry team since he's been in the league. Now he's a 6'2" 213lb runningback that has blazing speed, but powerful enough to run over people. I seriously believe people are drastically under estimating this guy. And yeah, that's my opinion... but he was being compared to the likes of Bo Jackson coming out of college. I understand he doesn't have the big Numbers and all, but he has all the measurables to be a great back behind an ALL-Pro OL. What kind of QB, WR, TE, or OL did he ever have? How many OC's and head coaches did he go through? Personally I think he needs to be giving a chance, rather than give up OL depth and/or draft picks for 1 year rentals..
On the other hand... the only rumor I've heard that sounds appealing is: Lamar Miller. He was a 1k yard rusher last year behind a terrible OL, also added 275 yards receiving, runs a 4.4, and is only 24yo

I'd be elated to have a Miller and McFadden combo..

People are down on McFadden because he has posted crap numbers...........he is 2nd worst in YPC in the entire NFL over the last 3 seasons, just beating out Trent Richardson. And before people say "it was Oakland", please explain why his own teammates posted better numbers than he did. Also, McFadden may have the size, but he is not running over anybody. That is why his yards per carry is so anemic, he doesn't break tackles or run over anybody so he goes down at first contact.

These are just the facts..............as inconvenient as they may be to some.............why the hell do you think McFadden signed for 0 guaranteed money? When was the last time a free agent worth a dam signed a contract with 0 guaranteed money?

McFadden is what McFadden is and that is "a free look" as Spags has said numerous times................he is a street free agent with 0 guaranteed money.

Most fans don't consider that an acceptable replacement for the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year and current Rushing Champion.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Its got to do with him being on the practice squad his 1st season for most of the year. He wasn't on the roster long enough to earn a year in 2012. Thats why he was an exclusive rights free agent this offseason. He had 2+ years of time in. After 3 seasons an udfa reaches RFA upon the seasons end, so even though he was drafted 3 years ago, he didnt have the service time required to reach RFA and after this year he won't have the service time to reach UFA, only RFA. Also no rookie can reach UFA before completion of their 4th season. The advantage is a udfa can renegotiate after the 2nd year where drafted players can only extend after the 3rd.

Its the same thing people where saying with Josh Gordon when the Browns suspended him at the end of last season. The rumors were they wanted to keep him from getting that last game needed to reach UFA early.

Heres a link showing he's a RFA this offseason.

Thanks for the info...............I forgot he was on the practice squad and not the actual roster for a season.................good catch bro.

Lol no problem. I think a lot of people forgot about him being on the PS. And to think, he was almost picked up by another team. Cowboys had to add him in order to protect him. Definitely a win for whoever made that decision.

It's definitely a bonus either way though. He has 2 years of possible cheap control and can either be a cheap b/u for 2 years, or it adds a great deal of value in a trade.

 

[Zekeats]

These three teams do not have much though. I know people think Khiry Robinson, I wouldn't trade Leary for him. Knile Davis does not appeal to me either. I would be surprised if Miami deals Lamar Miller.

I disagree on Knile Davis. IF he could control his fumbling problems, this guy would be perfect for our offense. Him behind this line would be a little TDish.

 

[mickswag]

 

[TrailBlazer]

Knile Davis would be an immediate all pro behind this line.

No doubt

Try harder bro.

DM29 never made anyone miss. Ever. He never extended any runs. McFadden can do that for you. More speed, more elusiveness. The oline is going to open holes. I'm confident he's good enough to see the hole and hit it and then make a guy miss to extend the run. We're not asking backs to do anything herculean.

Why would he sign for zero guaranteed money? Because this is an ideal situation for a RB with something to prove. He's got the leagues best oline, and a qb. 2 things he's never had.

McFadden can pass protect for romo better than murray I would argue. He can catch and run as good as murray. And certainly is a more explosive runner than murray. I think he will be fine.

 

[ThreeandOut]

Lamar Miller is the only RB I've seen listed on here that I would trade straight up for Leary. They get minimum contract this year and can put a 2nd Rd RFA tender on him next year. If he's available I would reluctantly give up Leary for him, but enjoy as he feasts on defenses.

That's a trade that I would consider as well. If Collins is the starter, it's likely that Leary is not even on the game roster barring injury. They only take 7 lineman on the active roster. Leary is better as a starter than Berny but Berny is the most versatile player with the ability to play both C and G. So Berny gets the nod over Leary as a backup. Trading what is essentially your number 5 interior OL for a young #1 RB makes a lot of sense.
