Trade: David Montgomery A Texans!

With the start of free agency looming not to long from now. If you didnt know it starts on the 11th of this month. Teams are trying to get started early by making some trades. Clearly trading a player is sometimes if not most times the best option for most teams. There's compensation for giving a player away. Whether it's draft picks that can help them find hidden gems or even possibly just upgrade a position slightly. To getting a better and more needed position upgraded. A trade will benefit a team much more. 

That leads us to now. David Montgomery was traded to the Houston Texans yesterday. What the Lions get in return? A 4th and 7th round pick and offensive lineman Juice Scruggs. I think a lot of people would say that this would be considered a fair trade. The Texans without Joe Mixon had little to no running game last season coming in at 22nd in rushing offense. Now I know, you may think that isnt bad. But when your lead rusher only ran for 703 yards on 196 attempts on a measly average of 3.6 yards. That just isn't going ti do it. 

Trading for David Montgomery for what they gave up was what I would consider a good deal. They needed to upgrade that position and they did. With a player who I think honestly has a lot left in the tank and tread left on the tires. At age 28 there would be some worries. Because we know that running backs don't age like the rest of the positions. However being in a backfield in both Chicago and Detroit that involved a good amount of rotation. Though with the Bears he was the lead back for about 2 years if I'm not mistaken. 

The truth is that he had never had to carry a whole team on his back, season after season. This means that the Texans are getting a really good running back. That can and still will produce. Making their offense once again a blance attacking offense. CJ Stroud hasn't looked too good the last two seasons. With last season just forgetful. Yet, last season he barely had a running game. Bringing in someone that can help take pressure on your quarterback is never a bad idea. And I think that this is a win for the Texans.

NFC North: One Upgrade Every Team Can Benefit From

  Before going into each NFC team and an upgrade I think they need that will help their teams. I want you to be aware that I will being doing one of these for each division and each team. Keep in mind these are my personal opinion as a casual sometime more than casual football enthusiast. However I do believe that in most cases most of you would agree with me. With that being said I will add that in this division as it stands moves do need to be made to free up cap space. So as of writing this post these teams are projected to be in the negative in cap space. However there are moves they can make to free a decent amount. So enough of the chit chat let's get into it.  Chicago Bears:  A big surprise if you ask me last season. This team stepped up and went 11-6 number one in their division winning the NFC North title. But with everything they did right and all the talent they had on their team there's a few things going on at least at this moment that makes you wonder if the...

NFC East: One Upgrade Every Team Can Benefit From

Before going into this group of NFC teams and an upgrade I think they need that will help their teams. I want you to be aware that I will being doing one of these for each division and each team. Keep in mind these are my personal opinion as a casual sometime more than casual football enthusiast. However I do believe that in most cases most of you would agree with me. So enough with the chit chat and let's get into it.  Philadelphia Eagles: Oh... my beloved birds! If you haven't read my other posts which aren't many at this point. You wouldn't have known that I am a big or you can consider me as a diehard Eagles fan. So when it comes to this team specifically I can go on almost forever. But, in the spirit of writing this post and the other teams that are going to be on this post. I will do my absolute best to not be bias. Yet, I will be more than likely harsh on my own team.Since clearly we failed to have a repeat with much drama being stirred up throughout the season. ...
