Now whose gonna jump on the pile after the tackle has been made?

Run DMC may be on the trade block. I really don't see Oakland getting much from any team.

You never know, I mean the Bengals did get a first rounder for Ponder even though he was retired. And yes I am aware it was the Raiders that gave up that much. Just sayin' though, I wouldn't be surprised if some team thought they needed a back that badly that they'd give up good picks for him.

I think you mean Palmer

I think the issue is McFadden's health, the guy can't stay healthy. I just don't see a team giving up a lot for him. Maybe a mid/late round pick. Although, if I am the Packers, I'd take him for that price.

McFadden also is an injury prone running back, which is what a lot of teams do not want. Plus running backs are not that high in demand because there are a couple of good ones in almost every draft, Morris, Martin, even Ballard from Indy, there are just so many serviceable running backs that trading for one really does not seem to make sense.
Ray Lewis's play has been lackluster in recent years, always has a few good games but has obviously lost a step. Still one of the greatest leaders, linebackers, and studiers of the game. Obvious Hall of famer.

Nobody trades high picks for RBs anymore. Especially ones that can't stay healthy.

Predictions for the weekend? I still haven't decided myself

Leaning Bengals, Ravens, Vikings

I know Shanny is Shanny, but Morris was a 6th round pick. There are good RB's out there without trading for a frequently injured player
