Last I read, he has a hamstring issue so there's that. Probably won't get to showcase his talents vs the Chiefs this weekend.

Ice up.

Merrick's next stop ... XFL and USFL, or CFL?

Ozigbo is now a Lion, FWIW.

He's a top 10 back. I wouldn't settle for anything less if I were him.

I wouldn’t rate him that high. But I’m sure the woman he kicked the hell out of thinks he’s a top ten guy.

Let’s get some wife beaters on the team damnit! Hurry up Dennis Allen!

Good grief. **** Hunt and the contract he wants. Trash.

Hunt, Kamara, and Peterson…three backs who pack quite a punch.

Christian McCaffrey
Nick Chubb
Derrick Henry
Josh Jacobs
Saquon Barkley
Austin Ekeler
Aaron Jones
Jonathan Taylor
Alvin Kamara
Travis Etienne
Tony Pollard
Dalvin Cook

Just off the top of my head those guys are better. I could probably keep going. He's not even be the best available free agent. Cook has that spot. Fournette and Zele might be better as well. Top 25 is more like it.
