With the release of Dominic Rhodes, there has been some discussion about picking him up and letting him compete in training camp. With the slew of backs in Oakland (Fargas, Bush, McFadden, and Jordan), I would imagine one of them to be released soon. Being that Jordan has the highest salary, I would imagine him to be cut. Do you think he could be (for the right price) worth bringing into camp? I loved the guy when he was spelling Curtis Martin in New York. I thought he was the most effective there.

He is a big, in between the tackle runner capable of pounding out yards (5-10 230lbs). His is a career 4.1 yd/carry runner. He has a touch to fumble ratio of 950:8 (.84%). He can catch the ball out of the backfield (70 catches in 14 games in 2005). I think he could be a great fit and at the least worth bringing in to camp to see if a fresh start could bring back the fire in him.

He does have some injury concerns the past two seasons, but may not have to take as many hits in our offense.
