$5 million for a 3rd down back was about 3 times what we could afford in 2015

Hey, I get the numbers, I really do. but consider this...

Last season with Sproles was 2013, we went 11-5

Since, without Sproles, 7-9, 7-9, 7-9...

Casts a different shade on that 5 million dollar proven 3rd down back and punt returner when you look at the difference in our record...

We just spent a lot of draft capital on this Volunteer, he better be the goods because we haven't been the same since we jettisoned Sproles...
