I'll miss him. So ridiculous in 2011. I don't think this affects PT in any way and I think he'll be cut as well while we take a look at pass catching RBs in the middle/late rounds.

He HAS to have some trade value.

Damn, was just about to post this. This is pretty big if it's true. It would put the team in the market for a new scatback, unless they think Cadet is the guy.

I can only imagine a fan with a Sproles jersey laughing at somebody with a Lance Moore jersey earlier today.

Not too much when teams know he'll get cut. I am surprised that a team with loads of space didn't offer a 6th/7th for a one year rental. His $3.5m salary isn't really that bad.

Rapoport is usually legit, but this contradicts the earlier report that Sproles wasn't being touched.

Confusing much?

I do agree 100% with cutting(or trading) Sproles though as he saves the most($3.5m) with very little dead money($750k) and will be 31.

And imo opinion he's more replaceable than Thomas is at this point in his career. His return game has tanked, he rarely gets used on the run, and he is too small to be an effective blocker.

Basically he had become a slot receiver.
