Why would we not trade McFadden?

[Nova]

He's worth more to us than to anyone else.

We have a formula for winning and it's better to keep that formula insured.

Meanwhile other teams see an old average back that will be a FA next year. Why would anyone trade for this guy?

DJackson hasn't proven anything to be above McFadden.

DJackson hasn't proven anything to be above McFadden.

He is playing for the minimum and under contract for 3 more years......for teams that build thru the draft and eschew FA this should be a no-brainer....talented 500k rookie vs 2m has been

Again, what has he proven on the field to be ahead of McFadden.

The easy way to solve this is to have Morris and McFadden compete for RB2 at practice. Whoever wins should play. It's not even debatable.

It's been mentioned, I don't think he has any trade value.

I'm with the original poster.

Green Bay, Denver, Minnesota and Detroit all lost their starting RBs recently. With the exception of Denver, all the replacements have been terrible or also got hurt. All four teams have plans on making the playoffs.

You're telling me none of those teams would give up a 5th rounder or a halfway decent DE for a guy who was 4th in the league in rushing last year and is a good all around RB? And are you telling me that McFadden is worth more to us this year than a 5th rounder?

The only reason I could see us not wanting to trade him is not wanting to make our playoff competition stronger. But that's not a good reason really.

No they need a death match! A fight to the death for the coveted backup RB spot!

Did he have many suitors before signing with Dallas? I don't recall. But yes it is possible that those teams are just not interested in an inconsistent RB that missed all of TC. It's not a stretch to think there isn't any interest.

The Packers traded a pick for Knile Davis. If Davis can get a pick, I would guess McFadden could as well. I could be wrong though.

Google Darren McFadden though. We aren't the only ones talking about it. It's a thing.
