Man Josh just isn’t efficient though. The volume he gets over there wouldn’t be the same as over here. I don’t hate him and wouldn’t mind it, but I’m really sold on Henry

I expect Detroit to go big on DLine help. Sweat will cost a 1st + a big contract.

AMAZING is a strong way to put that lol
But he's the type of depth I'd be looking at for sure
I'd go pass rush. Can never have too many of them, some are available at the right price, and you have no guarantee KVN and Clowney keep that pace in the playoffs.

Totally disagree. I'd rather have Jacobs here for the scheme fit, but I can't imagine he would be cheaper in terms of trade assets.
In terms of comp...
Henry would cost $6.2M if acquired today, and Jacobs would cost $4.4M.
You could try to convince those teams to pay a good chunk of the remaining salary, however that would just require better assets going back.
Main reasons I think Jacobs would be more expensive is a) he's considerably younger, b) Henry has a TON more historical usage, and c) Jacobs has been the better overall player for the last two seasons, though neither has been particularly effective this year.

Tackling Henry in Buffalo in January? Fuck off with that

Man I’d love Chinn if we weren’t so stacked at safety
to me it was a shocker due to so much other talent they could have cut if they needed space. He's not a bad player and yes would be nice depth.

It wasn't that hard to do in January in Baltimore. Think people make this stuff a bit more complicated than it is.

How are you measuring efficiency and over what time period?
Derrick Henry hasn't been an efficient runner since 2020.
If we agree that neither has been efficient or looked good this year, Jacobs 2022 was better than Henry's. In this case, I'd just go with the guy with significantly less tread on the tires.

Jacobs has never averaged at least 5 yards per carry in his career and is slogging through a god awful 2.9 this year as opposed to Henry’s 4.3, which isn’t amazing, but at least the latter can do more with less volume

You can #SIIE this lol. I'm not getting involved with this particular one.

But Brother we need to be at full strength. Not a big Henry fan?
not a fan jacobs at all.. had one great season and now its a lot of hype. Before that, he was and still is an avg back. He is def one of those guys you can find in later rounds.
