Deandre Swift from the Lions likely available via trade

[CorkScrewHill]

The lions signed David Montgomery in free agency and just inexplicably drafted  a back at number 9. Deandre Averaged 5.5 yds per carry this year and has a very low cap number for his final year of his rookie contract. Would like this more than getting DHoP as he would be a nice safety net if Cook cannot be the work horse.

Yeah I am unsure why Detroit is stockpiling RBs in a way that would even make Beane blush especially since Swift was pretty good(but oft injured) and they just got Montgomery.

[StHustle]

As long as one of his names starts with a 'D' sign me up!

[GunnerBill]

Meh. He is only good because of his oline IMO. He has been a disappointment. If you look a the next gen stats he doesn't generate many of his own yards. 

 

I'd throw a conditional future 7th at it turning into a 6th if we make the Superbowl or he has 1,000 rush yards. Otherwise, pass.

We do in fact have Damien Harris

To be honest I totally forgot we had signed him. Given that I would pass.

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Nah man, that's a no for me. Between Damien Harris and James Cook and Nyheim Hines I would like to see what we already have unless it looks like a generational talent.

[Rc2catch]

Swift has been made of glass. I expected he’d be available but remembering last year they do actually rotate 3 backs throughout the game.

We let Devin walk for Damien. We wanted a slightly bigger D. 

 

As for Swift...this is a move that I think fits the Miami profile. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see them go after him. 

[Bangarang]

Injuries and the fact that he’s a RB make this a hard pass.

Eh, Harris shouldn’t make you stop from improving the position. He is a one dimensional rb whose upside is limited. That said, Swift always gets hurt. Talented but doesn’t help if you miss games all the time.

Traded to NFL Georgia. Sorry, Philly.

[aristocrat]

Philly is stacked

Insane.

 

Swift would instantly be RB1 on the Bills. Making deals in the NFL is so cheap in comparison to other professional sports 

[skibum]

Wrong DeAndre.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Got him for nothing. Should have been us

[K D]

What the heck?? Why are people helping the Eagles? Do they feel bad for the NFC and they want them to have a chance? And Roseman is a "genius" because he just took all of the players from the back to back national champs. Wow how did he know to look there for great talent?

[Thrivefourfive]

Swift would make it a stockpile of good runningbacks,,,

 

oh never mind. Eagles. obviously.
