Bottom line is that top coin is reserved for players that consistently put in the work. Ruiz is nowhere near that category.

The price tag of the 5th-year option is reserved for top-tier players.

14M? Hell naw.

I figured Luton was history, but I'm not terribly surprised by Gore. They at least have a shot to catch on somewhere else now.

Closing in on our 90 man roster.

Gore was gone when we signed UFDA RB SaRodorick Thompson. That leaves us with six RB's (Kamara, Williams, Miller, Washington, Benjamin, and Thompson) and one FB in Prentice.
