I guess we are all wrong at times. That's why we should never believe everything we see online without absolute verification.

His camp is probably after more guaranteed money.

Bob Rose 🌹 may have jumped the gun on this signing.

No worries though, get Dalvin Cook’s camp on the line

I mean how much playing time would Kareem get when Kamara came back after 3 weeks anyway?

Taysom, Miller and Williams can more than handle the load for the first 3 weeks.

Yup. This is true.

What happens if Miller is slow to learn pass blocking and blitz assignments? DA won't be able to use him on pass plays and it could telegraph that it's a run play. Kind of like having 3Q out there does.

If one player goes down for any substantial amount of time then we are left with a bell cow running back. Like it or not. It feels like this whole season is about insurance and making sure that we have quality backups when starters inevitably go down. Unfortunately, AK misses some games each year as it is.

Yes, we have Taysom, but he doesn't spend anytime in the running back room now. I think it's a smart move to bring in a vet who is waiting for a chance to shine gain and get another contract. Hunt wanted too much money and he wants to start. It ain't happening here. I do want us to invest in additional insurance players though.
