The trade buzz around Jordan Howard has been near constant since the offseason. It began due in large part to concerns over his fit in the new offense under head coach Matt Nagy. It’s a West Coast-style system that demands versatility from the running backs, meaning they must catch the ball and be a threat in the passing game. This had always been an issue with Howard.

So far this season isn’t exactly dispelling those rumors. Howard hasn’t topped 100 yards rushing yet in any game and hasn’t been much of a threat in the passing game either, though his catching prowess has improved. It’s just not certain where he stands as an offensive piece anymore, and that’s why his trade viability remains so high.
