PodcastThe Trade Targets You Should Be Chasing Before Week 7 (Ep. 2276)October 20, 2026

From the episode

Negative signalRole

Warren's committee role makes him a trade-away candidate despite McCarthy's public support.

Chris Rodriguez views Jalen Warren as a trade candidate to move away from, citing his committee situation with Rico Dowdle. Despite McCarthy's public statements about sticking with Warren, Rodriguez believes the backfield will revert to a committee and is uncomfortable with Warren's role uncertainty compared to more established workhorse backs.
