He's got durability issues & doesn't have great balance, but he has blazing speed & can hit the hole as quick as anybody.

Doubt it. Didn't pass the physical, we're already having issues here and there and I can't see us bringing in a guy like this. Besides, I think the focus, besides Portis, is to get Ladell up and running and signed for a few more years.

you're probably right, I wonder why he failed his physical & how long he'll be out. If he can get healthy early in the year though, he'd be a great 3rd string back to have, or 2nd if CP is still out.

WHY?!??!?!?!?!?

We have Portis and even if Portis would be lost for the year, which is unlikely, Betts will step right in and keep up our 100-yard+ rushing games. Cartwright is a GREAT backup (3rd-stringer) and that rookie Lumsden is a quality 4th- stringer/emergency back.

Even with Kerry Carter, we have an incredibly deep RB situation. Not just deep, QUALITY depth.

Suggs would be a wasted roster spot. It's bad enough Todd Collins will be on the roster. We could use another CB or LB. Those positions can NEVER have enough backups.

Behind Betts, we don't have a single back capable of carrying the full load while giving us the rush yards we need to be successful. That said, no need to take on another injured RB.

I believe Cartwright could be good, but you do have a point at this time.

However, how many teams other than Denver and MAYBE Chicago have 3 RBs capable of being starters without losing anything from their #1 RB?

Suggs wouldn't give us a third quality RB even if we WERE shopping.

Suggs is not a good idea. If he can't even pass a physical to play for the Jets, what makes you think he'd be good here? You know the Jets are desperate for a RB, they probably told the doctors "look if he can walk, pass him on the physical."
