We’ve already seen two running backs traded, with Christian McCaffrey going from the Carolina Panthers to the San Francisco 49ers and James Robinson dealt from the Jacksonville Jaguars to the New York Jets.
The Los Angeles Rams have already said that they’re actively looking to move Akers to a new team. There’s also a possibility that other running backs, like Harris (though New England is not “shopping” him, per a source) or Kareem Hunt could be traded.
It wouldn’t be shocking to see the Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Rams (even though they’re looking to move Akers) or Philadelphia Eagles look at running backs. Los Angeles was in on McCaffrey, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility to see them go after another running back. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also are dead last in EPA per run play right now. I don’t know if they’d make a move, but it also seems like the Miami Dolphins could use a heavier early-down back after releasing Sony Michel this offseason.
When it comes to WRs I have to think the Chargers will do something to help Herbert.
If I’m an NFL GM, I am not even sniffing in Akers direction, no matter how bad I need an RB. I would sooner trade with the Panthers for D’Onta Foreman.
Yes but their record is not and Adams has an expiring shelf life. They also need to worry about RB with my friend Jacobs a FA they are running into the ground which was predicted by some on their new HC doing this before.
Nobody will give them any value for Waller, even if they wanted to trade him. As for the many Raiders issues, I am quite well aware of them! But trading Waller for a 6th round pick won’t fix them.
