How about sproles?

[leagueofshadows]

Anyone think Darren sproles would be a good addition to our run game?

 

[Boffo97]

He's going to get a lot of money because of his past laurels. He's not going to be worth that money because of his present age.

 

[leagueofshadows]

The guy is electric tho and has good hands. I know age and wear are a concern but he is a playmaker and goes hard every time he gets the ball. If the price was right he could be worth a look.

What price would be right for a part time player who is aging and his current team no longer want him??

 

[RamsJunkie]

I say stay away, We have younger,better, and more versitile player than sproles already on the roster named tavon we just need to utilize him better.

 

[NJRamsFan]

as far as the player I would LOVE to have sproles on our team as i think he is a matchup nightmare that can transform an offense....But at the price we'd have to pay to acquire his services, count me out

 

[Mojo Ram]

I wanted Sproles before he went to NO and before we drafted T.Austin.

 

[RamzFanz]

I don't think so. He's not a good fit. Rams have far bigger needs. If they stole him for experience maybe. He IS a talent.

3 mil over 2 years no guarantees?

3 mil over 2 years no guarantees?

For that price sign me up but sproles will get more than that

The money which seems reasonable is not the price to me the question is what do we trade to NO for him

Pead and our 7th rounder would be nice.

Yeah your right, I never really thought it would happen Its just every time I watch him play I always wish it was in a rams jersey, the guy is TOUGH.

If it's cheap in FA, I'd say yes.

Plus is he going to want to come to STL for in reduced role.......because the ball is going to get spread around back there.

 

[Boffo97]

That's the whole point IMO. I'd take him cheap in a second to at least kick the tires.

But at the price he's going to command for his name, no way.

Agree 100%...If we were an aging team looking for the missing piece to make a Super Bowl run I think id feel differently, but as is he's just not worth the investment

Saints get fifth-round pick for Sproles

The Patriots cut defensive tackle Isaac Sopoagaon Wednesday, but the trade that brought him to New England wound up having a direct impact on Thursday’s trade between the Saints and Eagles.

PFT has learned, via a league source, that the Eagles will send a fifth-round pick to New Orleans in exchange for running back Darren Sproles. The team had two fifth-round picks in this year’s draft after acquiring one in exchange for Sopoaga last October. It’s not clear whether their original pick or New England’s will be heading to the Saints.

It’s not a huge price to pay for the Eagles if Sproles gives them the same kind of production we’ve grown accustomed to seeing from him in New Orleans. Given Chip Kelly’s history of getting the most out of his offensive players, it may wind up being a bargain.

Post-trade, the Eagles now have picks in each of the first five rounds and a seventh-rounder. The Saints now have one pick in each of the first four rounds and the sixth round to go with two fifth-round selections.

Really don't understand this move for Philly. I expected Sproles to end up NE or a team like that. The eagles already have probably the best receiving RB in the game
