It was a shock. Some of the rumors stated that he would have been on the field more last year but could not learn the playbook.

Two things. First, where have you been? Secondly, Booker was traded mainly because he didn't fit the "size requirements" for this regime.

He was traded to the Eagles on the first day of the draft for a 4th round pick, which was the #115 overall pick. Miami then traded the #115 overall pick and the #208 overall pick of the 7th round to Chicago for the #110 overall pick of the 4th round. That pick was spent on Shawn Murphy.

Why was he traded? Jeff Ireland said after the draft that Booker did not fit the the type of offense this team was going to use. They wanted bigger more power backs then a small shifty running back like Booker. That is why he was shipped out of town and Jalen Parmele and Lex Hilliard were drafted in the 6th round.

I have to admit though, that the trade came to me as a shock when I saw it scroll across the bottom of the screen on NFLN during the draft. The biggest shock of the whole thing was that he was traded for a 4th round pick, just a year after he was drafted as a 3rd round pick. After seeing what style backs Parcells/Ireland/Sparano want, it started to make sense.

I think Booker will do well for the Eagles, and I am sad to see him go after only one year, but I am very excited to see what Parmele and Hilliard can do.
