This. I'm happy for Sproles, but:

1. He wouldn't have gotten the same touches here, as he is in Philly

2. Our offense is #1 in points scored, and #2 in yards. His absence isn't the issue, unless he can play DB or rush the passer.

3. He was on the block for at least a month, with rumors of him being cut. This wasn't a knee jerk decision, and obviously the 5th is the best offer that we received.

4. There's a salary cap. Someone had to go, and we were pretty deep at his position.

5. The Ravens gave away a WR (Anquan Boldin) that they didn't want to pay at his current price for a 6th round pick, and he put up 1,179 yards/7 TDs last year. That's the nature of the league.

The only thing I hate about it is he's with a team that will utilize him better than any other team, but you can't force another team to give you a higher pick.
