Having a deep stable of RB's is important to get through the long season and post-season. Trend for most teams is to address RB through FA & draft, so trades that yield a high pick is unlikely. Maybe consider it when one of them is in their last year, but temper expectations for return.

For now, all our RB's are on advantageous contracts. Their value right now is keeping them on the roster.

The NFL regular season is now 17 games and you need two starter quality RBs ready to go. Some teams even go as far as having three starting caliber RBs ready to go.

Good point ^^

That being said, what fans think doesn't really matter one bit. What the COACHING staff things matters a lot. They see a lot more than we do, and they have their reasons for keeping who they keep. Pretty much every season, we're gonna' see a least one or two head scratchers, at least in our eyes.

Don't cut a RB, not sure how many of you remember but the few seasons before Walker we were signing street FA due to all our RB's hurt for multiple years running.

We were nearly there last year, with DJ starting or 2nd string in multiple games.
