Is Ronnie Brown on the trading block?
Michael Lombardi of National Football Post has heard (and he emphasized the word heard) that the Miami Dolphins might be willing to deal RB Ronnie Brown.
As Lombardi points out, Brown only had three games rushing for 100+ yards in 2008 despite rushing for 916 yards on the season.
However, Brown had only 214 carries, which is an average of only 13-14 carries per game. Of all rushers that had more than 916 yards, only one (Derrick Ward of the Giants) had fewer rushing attempts (182).
Brown, the Dolphins first-round pick in 2005 (#2 overall), had 10 rushing touchdowns in 2008.
Before getting injured in week seven in 2007, Brown was averaging a combined 141.6 yards per game (86 rushing and 55.6 receiving) and had four straight weeks of rushing for 100+ yards. He was leading the NFL in yards from scrimmage before the injury.
In any event, as we have seen with Jay Cutler, Anquan Boldin (now available for trade), etc., virtually every player can be traded for the right offer. If Brown's the next, don't be surprised.
