| Running Back Future With Portis' and Bett's latest injuries, and options to get rid of either or both of them next year, should the Redskins look into another option to play there? The unrestricted free agents were not particularly impressive. Guys such as Darren Sproles, Jerious Norwood, Mike Bell, Jerome Harrison, etc could be signed for next year if we truly look to turn the page from Portis and move on. If one of them could be signed relatively cheap I may be okay with it. Another option would be to look at mid to late round picks in the draft and consider guys such as Ryan Matthews from Fresno State or Dexter McCluster from Ole Miss. Other options may be Anthony Dixon from Mississippi State or Charles Scott at LSU. Should we not bring anybody in, Does Ganther continue to get a shot, and do we keep an injury-prone and aging Betts or Portis? Personally I think we should cut Betts and draft a running back in round 3 or 4. Keep Portis for one more year and continue to slowly rebuild. |

Keep Rock and Ganther, draft a RB. Find a FA.

| Re: Running Back Future I'm not sure the book is closed just yet on CP. It's close though. I think we definitely need to draft someone and look at free agent options. I don't see a long term solution on the roster. Rock, Mason, Ganther are just #3 types. Not feature backs or even a #2 guy. |

| Re: Running Back Future What is a slow rebuild? Like we have 4 guys we can bring in but intentionally only get 2 of them? |

| Re: Running Back Future Paging GTripp... if next year is uncapped, isn't that our magic window to unload CP and not take a massive hit for it? If so, next year is like pirate amnesty day for bad backloaded contracts.

| Re: Running Back Future I'd look for the team to acquire Peyton Hills, and though he has done much I'd like to see Norwood get a shot in Shanny's offense.

| Re: Running Back Future I read that Alridge was a Shanahan guy..if this is true, isn't it intresting that he was just signed to a futures contract recently. I believe that we stick with Portis if he gets his stuff together and in addition we keep Alridge as a kick returner/slasher RB...and I'm cool with that providing Portis shows up and Alridge protects the ball.

| Re: Running Back Future Why isn't there a lineman future thread? Both JC and CP will be back. Shanny knows CP really well and he is just lighting a fire under him.

| Re: Running Back Future the o-line should be priority number one,i would keep Betts and Q, and draft ryan mathhews if hes available later. Shanahan does have a proven track record of no-name RB's rushing for 1500 yds and about 12 tds

| Re: Running Back Future I wouldn't consider drafting a running back until the 4th round or later. Of the free agents available, I'd say Jerious Norwood, but now we have to look at what might fit best for Shanahan's system. Big, bruising running backs don't appear to be his favorites. |
