Not because they dont need another Rb, but because Harrison is the better of the two easily

Mike Bell was the plodding bruiser for the Saints last year to compliment Bush's more flashy gamebreaking style.
It makes perfect sense in Mangini's world that we would trade a change of pace back like Harrison for another bruising plodder like Bell. When we already have one of those in Hillis, doesn't it make sense to double the fun with another one in Bell.
Just like at Receiver, last year we traded the only game breaker we had in Braylon and made sure not to replace him with anyone that had a similar sort of athletic ability.
When you have an offensive coordinator with the creativity of a gnat, it makes all the sense in the world to strip your offense of any potential game breakers because it is not like he will use them anyway.
