Howard isn't going anywhere without a replacement in hand....
Just to play devil's advocate.... but can some of this be blamed on Nagy? If he's this great offensive genius shouldn't he be able to incorporate a running back who was really good his first two years? Is this a Mike Martz/Greg Olsen situation we're gonna regret 5 years from now?

That proven commodity is a misfit, it seems. Sure, we'd like to keep players we drafted and developed, but the running game is not really a focus for this scheme. Howard is going to get us a better return this year if he's traded than in two years when we finally get a comp pick for him.
My best guess is that he ends up in Denver, where Fangio is going to love his ability to grind hard yards to keep the offense moving and the defense resting. Probably going to get a 4th in return. Aside from Cohen, who is a more influential weapon than Howard for us, I'm guessing we have a high turnover rate at RB until we find someone that we can keep on field for a hurry-up, lightning quick offense.
Yes but it's replacing last year's 3.7 YPA, 935 YRD JH, not the 5.2YPA,1313 YRD JH.I would rather he stayed than trust a rookie and Cohen next year....that actually scares me a little. You have a proven commodity in Jordan Howard, who had one bad year, where the coach possibly didn't get the most out of him....and we're trading him for unknowns.
Spencer Ware and a Draft Pick. But I agree they will have someone in place before the move gets made. They may already have a pretty good idea about Ware or someone after the combine.
I hear ya, if we get Ware, instead of say, Coleman, the draft RB better be able to rush between the tackles.I agree that I think thats the plan..... not really in love with Ware's durability though.

So much for the theories from msmeadows and eyedoc that he wants to/will ask to be traded.
He knows he's got a shot a SB here....he doesn't want to go.
Cohen, Ware, Nail, and a draft pick works for me.
But better yet keep Howard, get ware, and spend our 4 picks elsewhere.
With the cap savings of 2 mil, pay tevin Coleman 5.5 per year and it is like a 3.5 mil cap number net the savings.
He is really good at one thing.
The problem is not that he is really good at one thing it is that he is not even passable at a couple of important things.
Like having a contractor that can only install flooring.
Short yardage, zone run, blocking. He fine as an outlet as well. He lacks any advanced route running but I'm sure can do a wheel and he's not rump cut nifty but few have everything. He's may not be the optimum guy for this O but he has value and is worth keeping if you don't get a good offer.
