Pretty sure it's strictly for his special teams play. No 4th string back will see any kind of meaningful snaps on offense. In fact, if he gets any carries at all this year outside of perhaps late in a blowout I'll eat my shirt

Has to be because he is not very good at running the ball

No argument there. I think Kamara is the future. Let AP and Ingram play out their contracts, maybe see if Mark is willing to stick around as a backup at that point and let AK loose.

Re: Roster Cutdown Mega-Thread

Does anyone have a pointer to the actual final 53?

That's your opinion. Thankfully the FO doesn't seem to share that opinion - they wouldn't keep him if he only had ST value in their eyes.

Why was Bighill cut? Dude please don't tell me we're keeping Anthony over him. Ridiculous.

You don't think? Realistically, anyone past 2nd string is there specifically to play special teams, at any position. Sometimes you get lucky and find a guy who is also pretty good at whatever position he's listed at, but these guys make their living on special teams.
