This is the second season in a row in which
00:03
Ramondre Stevenson has been the second best running back on the team.
00:07
Ezekiel Elliott was a better back in 2024, excuse me, 2023 than Ramondre Stevenson.
00:13
And Antonio Gibson was a better back in 2024 than Ramondre Stevenson.
00:19
His seven fumbles, six lost, was the highest among running backs in the NFL.
00:26
Gibson was a good player, but he's averaged 150 carries over the course of a season of his career.
00:36
So right now you have Stevenson's working on a four-year $36 million contract.
00:41
He's got $17 million guaranteed up front.
00:44
So his cap is not bad at 5.54, but he's not playing to that level at all.
00:51
So if the Patriots decided they wanted to move on from Ramondre Stevenson,
00:55
the best avenue for doing that would be via trade.
00:59
They'd take a $12.5 million cap if they just cut him outright.
01:02
If they're able to trade him after June 1st, they'd only take $1.6 million.
01:07
And I'm sure you say, well, he's got no offensive line help.
01:12
Why is he supposed to be able to generate yards behind the 32nd offensive line in the NFL?
01:17
And if that's the case, then why are you spending $9 million on something you can barely use?
01:22
That would be my contention.
01:24
Send his ass to a team that could use it.
01:27
Have him follow the Sonny Michelle route.
01:29
Go to the Rams. They could use you.
01:31
That would be, to me... Go ahead.
01:33
I was going to say, what do you get in return for Ramondre?
01:35
What would be a fair return?
01:37
Honestly, because he's got a fairly sizable yearly contract,
01:43
you're probably going to get a fourth, a fifth in exchange.
01:49
But this is a great... The reason I also bring it up is it's a great running back draft.
01:54
And I know the people that go, no, no, not a running back.
01:58
Well, not me, to be honest, Tom.
02:00
I like the running back idea.
02:02
I think we've seen it work recently for teams.
02:04
And I think there's merit to, I'm not saying you're saying this,
02:06
but I personally think there's merit to, in a bad draft,
02:09
trade down and get Gente somewhere later or in the middle of the first round.
