Trade of Jordan Howard shows he had no real value

It’s been almost a week since Jordan Howard was sent packing to Philadelphia.

It had become clear it was a trade that was unavoidable. Howard wasn’t going to be a member of this team come September no matter what they could get (or even if they could get nothing).

Did the Bears get fleeced? That’s hard to make that assessment when it’s clear that there wasn’t one team in the NFL that felt Howard was worth a fifth round pick.

Bears fans love Howard and for good reason. When things were bleak for the Bears the last few years and there were barely any bright spots, Howard was the one player that shined brightly.
