King Henry offered to teams @ the combine

After a year of “decline” Henry had about 2000 all purpose yards. That’s second in the league. You aren’t replacing that with any running back. Arguing against that is just willful ignorance. Henry has been more productive than any player the last few years. Unless we get a first for him, it’s not worth trading him.

 

It's also not like we would save a TON of $ either. Almost zero reason to trade him.

 

Whats the contracts of Kamara and etc? The all purpose rbs?

 

makes all the sense in the world to move on from henry right now. we are not winning anything this year and this is probably the last offseason where he has actual value left. the OL is in shambles on top of that.

hate to see him go but it's the right move.

props to rev ran for having the stones to do it, or even to try to do it.

 

I absolutely get it... trade him one year before he declines -- but every OC we've had has hampered his ability to be a 3 down back -- and teams will use that in a trade negotiation for leverage.

 

oh well. he's gonna rot on our roster this year behind an absolutely s**t OL anyways. we are clearly in a rebuild right now and if you can get picks for your very highly paid, nearly 30 year old running back, you do it.

 

and I imagine thats gonna be the argument for a team to only offer a 3rd round pick or so..... just being a realist.

 

take the 3rd+ and run. jrob left this roster in a bad place. it's painful because henry was so good for us. but this is the spot we are in.

 

Only way I'd go less than 2nd would be is if we can get his contract off the books before free agency...

 

not sure if you've looked at the free agent class this year but it is not good. we likely aren't going to be able to make a big difference in the team either way with this FA class. I don't think having the cap space now vs next year really makes all that much of a difference honestly.

i think ran sees the same thing. if we didn't give dupree the june1 designation (no report that we did so far), it means we agreed to eat all his dead cap this year so we have none next year. he's loading up for cap NEXT season, not necessarily this season.
