That deal would be even worse than the Portis/Bailey trade in my opinion. I don't even think Vinny would have been dumb enough to do that trade and he's the guy who gave up a 2nd and a 6th for Jason Taylor. If we were to do a trade involving those players, it would have to be a straightup trade. I wouldnt even throw in a 7th rounder and i'd be inclined to insist they provide something else. Rogers may have bad hands but he does a pretty good job of shutting receviers down most of the time. He's definitely a starting corner in the league. You don't trade starting corners for #3 running backs/return men.

Exactly...a starting CB is harder to find and therefor worth more then a RB. A straight up trade is not even fair. The Chargers were letting Sprolles walk until they saw interest and thought they could get a draft pick. Let them get it from someone else.
