Lot of aged running backs here, none really blow my hair back. Hopefully the #2 RB is already in the building.

Jordan Howard is the only remaining FA RB on that list I'd be interested...

Maaaybe I worry that a lot of his production came because of the threat of Hurts running

I’m still thinking/hoping for a trade or pickup after roster cuts start happening.

Look, he was a force when in Chicago; Nagy was a moron for not going with the running game and playing with stout that defense...

Instead, he was putting in Tarik Cohen, who's good, but too many 3 and outs and letting teams back in the second half; a MNF game vs the Packers comes to mind...

Rez, McKinnon definitely has flashed, but with his age (30), mileage, and injury history, doubt we could count on him for six (6) games, if it turns out to be Kamara's suspension...

Darrell Williams made too much sense to me.

Oh well.

Saint's front office will figure out something.

I have to admit he's not on my radar, as the years go by I get less interested in non Saints football. I pulled up his 2021 highlights and on just about every one of them he wasn't even touched until he got at the very least the 2nd level which made me wonder. I'm not above kicking tires.

Plus One. His numbers were trending in the right direction.
