Saskatoon has come plummeting back to earth since dropping 299 on the Lead Farmers, losing to Manitoba and Malibu in lackluster outings. With multiple injuries cropping up at inopportune times, the Sasquatch were actively shopping Mark Ingram and found a solid (if somewhat unspectacular) return for their bellcow, exchanging players with Pawnee.
PAWNEE ACQUIRES:
SASKATOON ACQUIRES:
- RB Terrance West
- WR Anquan Boldin
Pawnee continues to build via trade, turning acquired depth into bluechip talent. Mark Ingram was a second round pick, and has been a top 25 scorer with his bye week in the rearview; Pawnee moves Terrance West (a free agent pick up who never found his way into their lineup, despite amassing quality numbers) and Anquan Boldin (a 16th round pick acquired for depth) both of whom should offer a nice floor for Saskatoon. The Sasquatch will go as far as Matt Ryan and Julio Jones can take them- everything else is supplementary. West will be the team's top back by default, while the team hopes Ryan Mathews can turn his season around and give them a proper one-two punch; There's not a lot of depth behind them, as scatback retread Bobby Rainey rounds out their options.
Long term, Saskatoon might have been better served by acquiring West with Jacquizz Rodgers or Jay Ajayi in this package instead of Boldin, but with Sammy Watkins, Jordan Reed, Donte Moncrief, and Eddie Royal all shelved, (and Will Fuller questionable coming off an inactive week) they needed the WR depth now and couldn't afford to wait for a better offer that may have never come. Pawnee was all too happy to oblige.
