RB Ryan Mathews Cut

If I'm Mathews I'm thinking I'm done, a neck injury isn't worth the risk. 

As far as the Eagles situation:

Blount

Smallwood (possible KR)

Sproles

Pump (also possible KR)

If the right team comes calling (a 2nd would do it) I might consider trading Sproles around the deadline.

I wouldn't say no to a Sproles trade. Can't see it happening though.

Yea RB seems pretty cut and dry since the addition of Blount, this just solidified what was expected.

 

That said unless Sproles asks for a trade he's not going anywhere.

I think the team has been prepping Smallwood for this. I doubt they had long term plans for Mathews even if he was healthy.

With that said we have Blount and Sproles too. There won't be a workhorse. It'll be situational. These guys all do different things.

Clear to everyone except @BLick12

What did I say that was not clear to me that he was getting cut? We're not going to carry 8 running backs, us signing Blount was clearly the nail in his coffin.

All I said was that I'd prefer to roll with him and our younger backs, because I feel he's a far more talented back.  Obviously, he can't stay healthy and this neck injury might be career ending, so that's a pretty good reason to cut him.

Glad Matthews was cut, hope him the best of recovery with his neck.

I think we roll with Blount, Sproles, Pump, Clement.

Clements size and versatility will give him the nod over Smallwood. 

and Smallwood is the surprise/not so surprise cut. And Darby needs his #28.
