Taylor is a great HB, but I doubt the price tag is feasible.

If they're willing to accept a reasonable pick package and Akers, I'd consider it. But no sending them a first or second.
Totally agree there. I wouldn't go higher than a 3rd. Should be interesting to see what Taylor fetches in a trade regardless.

Not gonna get my hopes up. But boy would it be nice to not worry about our RB room for once.

I'd keep Akers too. Just for this year to ensure the run game has the pieces in the backfield. This is also because I figure Indy wouldn't give us very much value for him in the trade discussions so I think he's got more value to us than being used as a trade chip.

Still saying Bears have the perfect chance here to add a super star that'll take pressure off Fields and they have a ton of cap room NOW to front load a contract so that if he goes the way of RBs and isn't the same player in 2-3 years they can dump him with little repercussion.

I change me mind, Akers, a 3rd, and.........a 6th :explode1:

I dunno, their RB room is pretty shallow after Taylor. Akers would be RB1 in that offense for sure

Without a doubt he'd be RB1. But they would lowball us irt his value and get great value with him plus a third rounder or whatever the going rate ends up being. So I wouldn't want to move him and watch him kick ass behind their line. I'd keep him here and ensure I for once don't have to sweat our backfield.

I don't trust Akers to accept the demotion well and don't want him messing with team chemistry.

Agreed, especially after his behavior last season. Regardless, I cannot see Cam in the Rams plans for the future.

Cam sure acted like a baby in cold bath water last season. Even if he has this magical season that some think is coming, do you think he will be in the Rams future plans??

Yeah this Jonathon Taylor character is acting like a smooth operator right now. The colts must be loving having to deal with this right now.

I would love to hear your inside knowledge of what happened last season. Because in the end the Rams kept Akers and sent Henderson packing. Then Akers was a top 5 rb at the end of the season. Who trended in the right direction?

Aww, another snarky remark. Ain't that cute.

I don't think there were any "winners" in that situation, sorry. I also don't put too much stock in a good finish to a lost season. Sure, I hope he can be a 1500 yd rusher. I just don't know of he has it in him....
