First, no one here suggested trading RRH or Nichols. Secondly, the ignorance of some Bears fans that want to trade Long continues to amaze me. Long, as goofy as he is, is a team leader that bleeds Bears blue and orange.
He sacrificed money off his contract to help the Bears cap. Rightfully, his pay is determined for staying healthy, which is the only thing people can complain about. Furthermore, has anyone noticed that the Bears YPC in the rush game is 1.5 yards more with Long in the lineup?
Trevathen? Why would the Bears trade him and create a hole? Also, he is one of the few veteran stud leaders we have on this "Best" D in the NFL last year.
