It probably should be mentioned that the Shanahan offense doesn't have a third down back in the offense, as his philosophy is that his roster of backs should be interchangeable regardless of down and distance.

In general, the Westbrook skill set is out of place in the Shanahan offense, however, I could see him being signed and returning punts (along, obviously, with getting his 70-80 carries and 20-30 receptions). Outside of that, I don't see him getting signed to replace one of the three vets we already have.
