Does Sproles make LT trade bait in SD?

[.GR]

With Sproles tearing it up, does this make LT trade bait with all of the injuries also?

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I don't think so. They know what LT is capable of when he's healthy. They know they have a good 1-2 combination though.

 

[.GR]

I said no also.
I don't think Sproles can carry the load as a starter for the whole season.

 

[The Young One]

No but like palmer said they have a awesome 1-2 combo.

I voted No. I dont necessarily think it makes him trade bait, but it does make him more vulnerable to be thought of to trade. He has produced this year, not as well as expected, but he has produced, while battleing injury basically the whole season. I think it`s more of a flip-side of things. That Sproles, isn`t necessarily trade-bait, but he has more value on the Chargers now and he ran all over the Colts, not exactly an easy team to beat on any given day, on National Television, in the playoffs, which got other teams attention. They would be wise to keep both, unless LT gets injured again, than they might trade him, or make it a higher possibility. They seemed to be good at hatching great talent at RB though, Turner, who is now the Falcons star RB), Sproles(Ran all over the Colts in the playoffs), of course LT(No more needs to be said) and possibly a great talent in Jacob Hester(Rook out of Louisiana State, who had an ok game against Denver week 17).

no sproles is a FA this year and he made his market price pretty high.. he will start somewhere makign pretty good money

Yea he wont be driving his ford focus anymore i bet that lol.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Plus, any offense can look good running against the Colts. They don't necessarily have the greatest run defense or defense in general.

I really don't see them trading LT, but man think of the players they could get for him. Too be honest if I were the chargers though i'd trade LT, I have a feeling he's the next Shaun Alexander.

 

[jarrod2323]

no.
sproles is a FA after this year. LT isn't.. that alone is a no

 

[.loggie]

the lions should pick sproles up to share the carries instead of rudi
<3.

Hes deff NOT the next Shaun Alexander.

Lol, because he'd love to go to the Lions.

 

[Lake Louise]

Lol, because he'd love to go to the Lions.

lol you never know. Turner went from the Chargers to the Falcons, who went 4-12 last year. lol but I wouldn`t see that happening either. He would definately want to go somewhere were he can be a starter, like in Denver maybe(they might have another year of constant RB injuries), or KC maybe. If he was traded that is, which most likely wont be the case, at least not now. LT would probably go first before Sproles, IMO.

 

[Gtown81]

Hes deff NOT the next Shaun Alexander.

a few years ago when Alexander was in his prime I bet you would never say that he would end up as an unsigned free agent

 

[.GR]

Alexander wasn't arguably one of the top 3 backs in NFL History.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

but he still had phenomenal years.

There's always the possibility that LT could suffer another injury or worsen his current one if he pushes it too far.
I dont think he'll end up like Alexander, and you dont trade LT for sproles. You dont want Sproles to end up suffering the Ryan Grant syndrome. Ya know, do great in a few games starting, then the next year suck.

 

[PiStoL31PeTe]

Lt isn't going to be traded they'll keep both of them and continue to tear it up with their running game

 

[wade3]

I don't think so either, if anything it makes Sproles traid bait. But if he is a Fa after this year, he won't be coming back. I doubt he wants to be a backup, as much as SD might want him back.

 

[The Young One]

Alexander wasn't arguably one of the top 3 backs in NFL History.

Are you on drugs? LT isnt arguably a top 3 back in nfl history. You got Emmitt,Barry Sanders,Jim Brown. GTFOH
