This is just two teams trading guys that didn't meet expectations, in hopes that a change of scenery will make a difference for one or both. I wouldn't read too much into this.

Yeah, Harrison's bad attitude got him on the wrong side of the coaching staff. Peyton Hillis has been great, but it was Harrison's whining and complaining that got him on the bench. I don't see him getting many carries if McCoy is healthy. Remember, Andy Reid is not a big fan of the running game anyways, they pass about 70% of the time, including to RBs.

all cleveland got out of this was moving a disgruntled player. i like harrison, i don't like him with the eagles.

the packers should've went after harrison though, they could definately use him after what we saw last week. they missed out on lynch, now harrison. i've heard rumors of the packers going after deangelo williams... now that would be scary. he is in the last year of his contract. i dont think it would be dumb for us to go after him either, though he would need a new deal.

I wouldn't mind it at all, but RB's are a dime a dozen to Shanahan. That's why when it was time to pay Portis in Denver after two monster seasons, they let him walk to DC for his big payday.

Point made, however there was a time where Shanahan did pay to get a RB - Travis Henry.. According to wiki page, Henry got 5 years contract that was worth 22.5 millions dollars. Shanahan believed Henry would thrive greatly in his system..

I am in love with DeAngelo Williams, he's truly playmaker with his toughness and speed.. He will be VERY successful with Shanahan's zone blocking system.. Which is something we need.. However, Panthers will not let Williams go without getting something valuable in return, which is what we cannot afford to sacrifice because we have some positions that need to be filled through draft next year..

Shanahan will draft a RB in the mid rounds. It's very doubtful he'd trade for one, IMO.

We should trade the Browns Dockery or Andre Carter for Mike Bell, I mean after all he is a Shanahan guy.

Dirtbag I thought it said James Harrison too haha. I couldn't believe it for a second, mainly because James is a 3-4 'backer and he's also pretty old.

This is a good move for the Eagles though. I can't believe the Eagles were able to move a guy like Mike Bell for him, even though Harrison fell out of favor and now that Peyton Hillis has broken out in Cleveland it would be hard for him to get pt.

I don't like this trade though, Jerome Harrison is a nice backup and since he's more of a power back he'll be good at the goal line in Philly.

Shhhhhh..... ;)

Edit: I'm thinking Jerome Harrison should change his name to Jerome TresTres to avoid any further confusion with James Harrison.
