turtle28 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 So, the last couple of days there has been a rumor/chatter that Jordan Howard could be traded by the Bears because Tarik Cohen is a better fit for Matt Naggy’s offense. Cooley talked about us possibly trading for Howard yesterday on his show and Riggo’s rag did a blog on it. If it’s a possibility, I think it’s something we should do. It seems to me that Howard could be had for a 4th round pick and that’s what Cooley thought as well, and Cooley came up with the idea of trading a 4th or 5th and Perine in exchange for Howard as well.

So maybe a fourth and a toss in? Only 23. I'm in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 This would be a bad trade imo. Howard only has 2 years left on his rookie deal, and this is a strong RB draft class. We could have a Rookie on a cheap rookie deal for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but there’s no guarantee that any rb we draft ever turns out to be as good as Howard is. As Skinsin2013 points out, Howard is only 23, so when he’s coming up for his 2nd contract in 2020 he’s only going to be 25 and will presumably have 4 or 5 good years left in him.

If he doesn’t get traded right before or during the draft, I think Howard ends up staying with the Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Just like I wanted to draft our own QB, I want to draft our own talented RB. No interest in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceinthehouse Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I would only be ok with it, if we got rid of/traded Perine & Kelly. Then still drafted rookie rb, but later in the draft. Possibly in 5th rd, since we have a couple right now. With a depth chart looking like... Thompson--Howard--rookie (5th, 6th or 7th rd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he hasn’t. Great guy, bought his jersey. But we used up his only good years in the nfl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Morris didn’t look better than Kelley, Jones or Perine the last two years and wasn’t effective for a suspended Elliot last year? Then why in 5 starts did he have 115 carries, 547 yards and a 4.8 yd avg last year? He sure ran up and down against our defense in 2016 and scored TDs on our D. In 2016 he essentially had the game winning TD in our game at home vs Dallas. In Dallas last year he had 27 carries, 127 yds (a 4.7 yd avg) and a TD vs the Redskins in the game that pretty much ended our playoffs hopes. He’s a better running back than the guys we kept over him sans Chris Thompson. Hopefully we draft a true starting running back in a few weeks when the draft comes up because I don’t think there’s anything that we don’t need more than a quality starting running back.
