Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread

The Sproles trade broke four NFL no-nos:

-Acquiring a 30+ year old RB
-Trading draft picks for any RB (hi, Tim Hightower!)
-Paying for a contract too large for the Saints to carry
-Paying for performance that can be found for less

Found for less? It's not common to find an Alfred Morris in the 5th-7th round.


I hate that the Eagles got him, but they got a steal. Also, his age is not an issue as much since he's not an every-down back and has never been.

It also helps McCoy stay healthy, he got beat up badly last season with his workload and Chip Kelly's pace.

I think we've already established you're not good at this, but I really don't think the Eagles just acquired Alfred Morris in his prime. They got 31 year old Darren Sproles.
