For two future picks

Waiting to see which ones

SD

Interesting

I like Brown though he wasn't a great fit for Chip's offense, he tries to bounce everything to the outside. Who backs up Shady now? Sproles is more of a receiver coming out of the backfield. Does Polk step up?

Munson

God I hope not...watching Polk get all those carries last year was frustrating.

I really liked Bryce Brown. Was hoping he'd stick around and be Shady insurance until either his contract was up or Shady inevitably broke down.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Chris Polk got 11 carries last year.

Looks like it may not be two picks as many first said

Rather a conditional fourth next year that could be a third in 2016

Eagles like Polk a lot. With him, Shady and Sproles there's not enough carries to go around. Plus Bryce doesn't play special teams as well as Polk.

Be on the lookout for a D'Anthony Thomas selection now

SD

Polk is fine as a backup and to get carries every now and again. If Shady goes down I hate him as an every down guy. Brown on the other hand has more talent and if he learned how to follow blocks could be good. I like the trade because he doesn't get many carries but his depth was nice.

Hah, it seemed like so much more than that. Shady would go for like 8 yards on 2 carries and then Polk would come in on 3rd and 2 and I'd be screaming where's Shady. Hard to believe it was only 11 times.

3rd rounder would be nice. Buffalo still has Spiller and Jackson though, so I wonder what the condition is.

And 3 of the 11 rushes went for TDs. I remember being pretty okay with those at the time.

Quote@AlbertBreer: The pick Bills sent to Philly is a conditional pick from SF. If it's a 4, Eagles get it next year. If it's a 3, Eagles get Buffalo's 2016 4.

ice grillin you

btw how awful a trade is this for buffalo....running backs barely get drafted before the 3rd round anymore yet they gave up a 4th for bb?

throw in the other picks they have traded next year and this is really dumb
