Dumb ass Dave and dumbass Dan would trade him for a 4th. AND that player they select amounts to nothing and gets cut in 2 years. AMIRIT

Get a 2nd from the Chiefs

Exactly who I was thinking about. He’d be a helluva RB for them. If I’m the Chiefs GM, I’m on the horn already. Late 2nd rounder to give Patty the angry RB that Pacheco and Hubt just aren’t anymore? Heck yeah. Nobody has shown that they are unbeatable so KC can absolutely risk it.

Hubbard comes w/ contract baggage.  Teams would want the really good RB, with no baggage, that Canales isn't running. 

Sure, but with the news we're rethinking our RB room he clearly has less value, so... I don't expect him to be traded for the reason you sight but yeah

Ship Chuba out, keep Rico, make him the featured back and let him cook, that's clearly how he's best.  Then figure out next year after the season.

As soon as they get some  success, they look for some way to fug it up

This. Get Chuba off the books and stop spending high picks on backs.

I like Chuba but I’d ship him off for peanuts just to dump the contract.  Just a silly deal by the team.  Not his fault they gave it to him.

we are 4-4

 

why not give him the fugin ball and play defense??

This^^ Give Rico the 'cause Rico wants the damn ball. Let Chuba ride the pine if that's what it takes to win. Those two games with Rico pounding the rock almost made us like a fuging football team again. Then here came the Bills, Chuba and m/fuggin Canales.....well, we all know how that turned out.

Well we only have Rico through the end of the year. I would like to keep him too but I can understand trying to get something for him

Trade him and he is still probably a top 10 cap hit for us next year 

then you got the issue of Rico looking good….and having lots of options elsewhere after this year. 

then your RB room is Etienne.  I don’t even count Brooks at this point given the back to back ACLs

[tukafan21]

I hope we trade Rico, because if they do that, it would actually make me think the front office and coaches don't believe in Bryce.

If they think Bryce is going to be our guy, then they should be pushing for the playoffs this year with our record right now, not sending away our current starting RB.

I think those four games let the cat of of the bag. Two where Rico crushed it, two where Chuba didn’t and Rico still looked good.  
Probably have to eat some of Chuba’s contract. 
 

I don’t know how that really helps us.
