From CP's comments, he sounds as if he's sure he's done here. That may be because he thinks he'll get signed elsewhere. If he can't get much out there, which is likely scenario, it would make sense for him to stay in DC as a backup/3rd down back. Ordinarily I would say there's a slim chance of that, but Shanahan being here increases that possibility IMO.

I think it will be a very humbling market for CP. Even if he's signed elsewhere, will he be able to make the team? I wouldn't be too surprised if he's played his last nfl down, though I think he's got value in pass pro.
