So, replace Shady/Sproles (~$15M) with Murray/Mathews/dead cap Sproles (~$14.9M) or Murray/Mathews/Roster spot Sproles ($15.6M).

For all those saying the Shady trade was about cap space ... I beg to differ.

I would rather have three good diverse (runners & pass catchers) Rb's than one really expensive one that has a history of concussions. Your single $15M Rb gets another concussion and your team is screwed. There is an advantage to numbers and depth. Especially with how much CK wants to run the ball.

Maybe, but all three are just as big injury risks, and as one goes down the load on the others just gets worse.

Yeah but you have three for the price of one. What would want? 1 or 3?
Murray, Matthews and Sproles are pretty good trio.

when healthy.

when healthy mccoy gives you more ability in a single roster spot than any one of those 3 though. so while you're top 53 talent is better, the top 22 talent isn't, so if we're assuming health, i'd take mccoy.

if we're not, well... they'll probably all end up on the bench.
