In 2011, Trent Richardson racked up a school-record 1,679 yards and 21touchdowns for the Crimson Tide.From McPell
This may be too late, but I noticed in today’s NFL transactions that the colts traded a kicker, Parley (War eagle kicker) for a running back. I don’t remember a kicker ever being traded. Has it ever happened before? And since they are taking a RB, is Richardson officially a bust?
McPell –
The Colts did deal Cody Parkey to Philly for running back David Fluellen, and yes, it’s the first time we can recall a kicker being swapped for a RB. (And to make it more striking, the Colts had plans to release Parkey, then traded him and rescinded the release.)
As for Trent Richardson, no, we do not believe this is an admission the experiment is over. The Colts are going to do whatever it takes to make this work – they did give a first-round pick to the Browns for the former Alabama stud – and if it does work, that’s an offense set to put up big, Big, BIG numbers.
