Stacy was traded from the Rams to the Jets in exchange for the 224th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, Albert Breer of NFL Network reports.
Stacy requested a trade following the Rams' first-round selection of Todd Gurley on Thursday, so it's not a big surprise that the deal was made. However, he'll move to a team in the Jets that boasts the likes of Chris Ivory and Stevan Ridley in the backfield as well, leaving Stacy's role up in the air once again. He should be given a fair shake with his new club, so a strong training camp could lead to some regular season carries, but there's no guarantees at this point.
I think he has as good a chance as any in the Jets backfield now. It will obviously be a committee, but he has a good chance to be an important part of it.

If he was even 3rd. I'm pretty sure he was stuck behind Cunningham as well. Not that it changes much haha

Yeah I wasn't sure if he was 3rd or 4th. Still not going to a better situation.

It is a little better. The Rams invested a 1st and 3rd in Gurley and Mason, whereas the Jets have nothing invested in Ivory or Ridley.

With Ivory 's injuries and Ridley's fumbles he could possibly be starting before the year is up. Of course that all depends on how bad Powell is too.

Stacy has been less impressive than Ridley and ivory

Good news for him, I like his chances to take over this committee over the one he was already being shoved out of.
