yeah, but we won't be looking at him to be a primary threat anyway... just take the place of Tim Carter as a slot receiver... having 2 speed burners like him & Moss would be a good thing to complement our bigger, more physical wideouts in Plex & Amani & Shockey at TE.

as for Droughns, he had a 1200 yard season the year before last in CLE, so i think he's a good back to have, & he can make catches out of the backfield too... plus he's 29, so i think he still has a couple good years left in him.

This trade was great. Tim Carter was a useless piece of ****. Reuben Droughns is a two time 1200 yard back and is excellent insurance for Jacobs. He also has experience playing FB and can catch the ball. His contract is way reasonable too.

"Droughns was due salaries of $1.25 million, $1.75 million and $2.75 million, respectively, over the next three seasons. We'll know in a few days if those numbers stand and if the contract has been shortened."

So we got a better or equal player than Dominic Rhodes at a cheaper price. I'm totally down for that.

Its a smart trade in my opinion. Its a different way of thinking than in the past. Nice trade, let's hope it works out.

The next move will be a little more telling. So far so good.
