Log jam at RB
So we have three starting caliber Running Backs. 2 of them are at the beginning of their career and one is at the end of his career. I know Charles is a Chief icon but should we hang on to him, use him as trade bait for draft position or use him as part of a deal to bring other players in?
I know this won't be a popular topic of discussion but a RB entering his 8th year and coming off of his second major knee surgery we need to think about what our plans are with him and the young talent behind him going forward. |

JC had a 1500 yard season following his last ACL injury.
He's the starter if he's healthy.

I don't necessarily disagree but I think that we could part with one of the guys we have for depth elsewhere and more draft picks or to get a player of need somewhere else.

Cut Davis. We have starter JC, his back up West (similar style), change of pace/bruiser Ware.
Ware is dope though so he's really #2. |

Charles retires as a ****ing Chief.
Since you have Ware and West now....it allows you to move Charles around more. Split him out wide sometimes. Shit...put Ware in at FB ahead of Charles and the defense won't know who to key in on. |

Why do people keep wanting to trade Jamaal? You're not getting shit value wise in a trade. His best value is here, on the team. Reduce some of his carries to keep him healthy, yeah. But trading him is nonsense, especially when the other two guys are pretty much unproven. I mean, they each had, what, half of a good season?

I think Charles has excellent trade value as long as you aren't looking to trade him for Tom Brady.

Matt Forte, who's not been injured and offers similar value as Charles was released by the Bears because they couldn't find a trade partner. Yesterday, Forte signed a 3 year, $12 million dollar deal with the Jets. There isn't a team in the league trading for a soon to be 30 year old running back coming off an ACL injury. Not one. |

I think Knile could be traded for a late round pick

We have three rock-toting RBs.
That's not a ****ing logjam. It's not a "good problem." It's not a problem, period. It would be a problem if we had Charles coming off his injury and jack shit behind him. |
