    why would miami ever do that trade? I know his average has dropped to 3.4ish but that has to do a lot with the blocking and everyone daring cutler to throw the ball. You don't find British running backs growing on trees.

    Apparently Jarvis Landry is available too. No idea what they're trying to do here. But what a great deal for the Eagles.

    Steal for the Eagles. I hope they go to the Super Bowl.

    465 and 0 this year. Low value position. Not a foundational piece to the Dolphins. The market is what it is.

    Ajayi is on the tail end of his rookie contract. He's going to want an extension this offseason. My guess is they're coming to grips with the fact they're in full on rebuild mode. They got Ajayi for a 5th rounder, got 2/3rds of his rookie contract out of him, and then flipped him for a 4th rounder. That's not bad return at all. Cutting Tannehill is financially feasible beginning next year. This team is in firesale mode.

    Good trade for both teams.

    I think we will be seeing more trade activity in the coming years.

    More hype than substance.

    Maybe because Cutler sucks. Teams play the run.

    He’s better than his numbers this year show. Just not as good as last years numbers.

    So why keep him. Lowest or 2nd lowest paid position depending on how you slice it (kickers/punters make more, but they almost all start), there's no value on RB's.

    Don’t think he’s great but he is better than average. He definitely make a difference. Philly got a steal regardless
