I must have misread this on Twitter about 5 minutes ago: Anthony Barr is starting Sunday??

That can't be right....

I think Murray is a good second back to have. I know we are set but if Cook/Mattison gets dinged I would bring him back.

I would take back Tay Train if they believe that both Mattison and KN are going to be injury issues all season

devils advocate... what would Mattison net in a trade with a team needing a starting caliber RB? Would he garner a second or third? We know he is to good for us to keep after next year, and will likely then only net at best a 3rd round comp pick in 2024 draft,( comp picks are always a year later right?) if we have Rose, and could bring Murray back on the cheap, do you entertain cashing in on AM now and add a day 2 pick in 22 instead of a late day 2 pick in 24, that has to have value doesnt it?

Good questions and progression planning that I'm sure GM's think about all day.

I don't know what Mattison would garner....of course we fans over value our players. But RB's are not as valued as high as a decade ago so he might get us a 3rd rounder - IDK.

Yea, I would like to see a little "Rose" in a real game...I say a little because I don't want any injury of course.

All good thoughts!

Its a good question. If we could get a 3rd for Mattison, I think the team would have to give it serious consideration. I don't think he'd garner a 2nd. Honestly, every year in the NFL good RBs are found all over the Draft. I think Rose would be an ok replacement for Mattison in the context that we have a horse like Cook as lead RB. Rose isn't as good as Mattison, not trying to say that, but he's not a massive drop off either. He can catch also.

I say this because Mattison's cap number next year is almost $1.2 million on the last year of it. Cap savings would be $1 M. This would be the year to do it for a contending team that has an injury to their main RB during the season, max his trade comp. Would be a bargain salary cap-wise for someone.
