Honestly, if we trade for a running back, i want it to be Turner...heres why
First of all Turner's contract will be sizeable, but not as large as the deal we would have to give Johnson. Secondly Turner is 2 years younger, and has much less mileage on him than LJ, who carried the ball over 750 times over the last 2 seasons. With JP and Lee's rookie contracts soon to expire, we will need the money we can save here.
Secondly, our D is in SERIOUS trouble, and Larry Johnson's will be had for no less than a first rounder. We need to stay in the first round to get an impact player to lead the defense, cause there is no way we are starting Coy Wire at linebacker this year. If we can get Turner for 2 thirds or a second and a 3rd i personally think its a better deal than giving up potentially a 1st and a 3rd for LJ, even though he is a workhorse, playmaking back that can change games.
