If Sproles is looking for Reggie Bush $? If so, pass.

You said if he wanted that much you'd pass, so I gave you a lower number.

I'd like to see Sproles here, and Bullock might not be bad if we signed him to play the other LB spot in the 3-4.

I think the days of us paying everybody big bucks are over. (I hope they are.)

Rolle at Free Safety, and Landry at SS. I like that idea. I think Rolle would understand what it would mean to play the Free spot in DC... Sean and Antrel were apparently very close friends.

He'd like to have you believe that, but judging by some of his conjectures about what happened to ST in the days right after his death, it leads me to believe that they weren't that close at all.

I don't get this whole RBs are a dime a dozen thing either. Sure they're not valued as high or for as long anymore, but it's not just the line that makes the back, the line can make a back look a lot better, but a line doesn't add vision, adjustments, breaking tackles, ball control, etc.

There's a reason why guys get cut every year, not because everyone in front of them is amazing, because some guys suck (relatively). If great RBs were so easy to come by we wouldn't have bounced around Marcus Mason so much and we'd already have Betts riding the pine full time.

true, I was mostly implying enough of sloppy seconds we don't need every player out there

JLC is reporting that the Saints aren't going to tender Jahri Evans! I wonder if he's gong to get the tag?

RB is probably the second most important position on the entire football field. Problem is that the peak for a running back is universally quite short, and when it happens varies widely from player to player. So even if you have a great prospect, you never really know what you have at the position in any given season.

Franchise tags had to be placed by 4pm yesterday I believe.

Not if DS get's his checkbook out in time! So far I'll take Sproles, Walter, Bullock. Kid in a candy shop time!!!

Ok, not really, but I would seriously look Sproles as a KR, change of pace back.
