Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.
The average career span for NFL running backs is around 2-3 years. We got reasonable worth from CEH, his positives outweigh his negatives by quite a bit.
I realize he did not live up to lofty expectations, but if he was a superstar we probably wouldn't be able to afford to keep him anyway. I don't see any need to degrade him, lets just move on. [Reply]
Declining the 5th year option is probably wise, given that it will save us money. However, we still have his rights for next year. Will be interesting to see what happens there. [Reply]

Exactly.
You could use a 5th rounder to draft some big fast guy with vision issues or a bad OL in college and get him for 4 years at asswipe money.
Or you could trade for a dude w/ 3 years of demonstrated mediocrity who costs about as much as 4 years worth of that 5th round RB combined and is a FA at season's end...
I don't see BLEH have any trade value at all, really. [Reply]
