That is the problem. No one wants to give anything up. The rumors are that he is only worth a 4th or 5th round pick. If a team offered a 1 or 2 & more, then I think the Jags would take it. He is a RB who is getting old and has a lot of hits, he has no value.

I'd say he would have some value for a team that wants to win now. If this whole situation had come up prior to the draft, I'd be willing to bet some team would have been willing to give up a 2nd or 3rd round pick. That would also had meant allowing him to work into any new system he'd be put in, which isn't as big a factor for RBs as QBs of course but still can be a factor.

Now with the season just about to start, teams aren't as willing to pull that trigger of giving up a high round pick for a guy in a position that may or may not be a difference maker. That and the new CBA making draft picks more valuable also plays a factor.

The funny thing is while he has no value to others he still has value to us. Lets say he has another 4 good years in him which I believe he does (especially if he splits carries). I could see him finishing with close to 12 thousands career rushing yards and that by all means is a really good career for a running back.

He was holding out prior to the Draft though, wasn't he?

Yeah but i don't remember him demanding a trade back then.

Not that he could've anyway because he had no leverage, just like he does now.

I thought he just said he was open to a trade though. Didn't know he demanded a trade out of Jacksonville. I don't even think a win now team(which there are probably maybe 4-5 of them)would've given up much, mainly because as you brought up earlier, the CBA makes Draft Picks more valuable than before.

He hasn't demanded a trade. That's the media for you.
