Benjamin is out. Hunt, next man up?

That 09 team 🏆 was kinda full @ RB too.

Reggie, Hamilton, Deuce, Bell & Pierre.

Run it back ✌️.

Hard pass for me. Williams is proven and can carry the load. We have a soils rookie backup and two fillers behind him. Unless they plan on trading AK now that teams know how long he’s going to miss.

LOL! Where did trading Kamara come from? He carries $24.772 million in dead cap if traded now. Put the pipe down.

Not sure it's a fair comparison. Reggie and Pierre, OK. Deuce had one foot in retirement. Bell and Hamilton...meh.

Williams, Kamara, Miller ... and a no name rb4. We fixing to eat in the running game.

We're deep at RB because we're 11 practices into training camp.

There's something to be said for fresh legs and the right matchups.

Does he really have anything left? He’s been horrible and I’m not sure he’ll do much for our locker room either.

It was all good until Bell wore the wrong cleats

Not so sure about that. He's been spelling Nick Chubb and hasn't really been in a significant role in Cleveland for years. I wouldn't say he's been 'horrible'.

As far as the locker room, what are you expecting to see in the locker room? Impact on the team's performance are often grossly overstated. He hasn't had any negative press as far as being a good teammate that I can recall reading and his off field issues seem to be a thing of the past. Unless I'm missing something...

He’s a good receiver out of the backfield as well. He’d do a good job filling AK’s role while he’s out.

So true here. From my understanding, Hunt hasn't racked up as many miles vs some of the other RBs his age.

17 games + the possibility of post season is an absolute grind at this level.
