Re: These 16 running backs are free agents; could any of them replace Cam Akers?

July 21, 2021 09:41AM
Provided a team-friendly contract, I see no reason not to consider Gurley given:

A) his part-time/short-yardage role;
B ) his experience with the offense; and,
C) his high football IQ.

I'd also be looking at Bell (again, looking at a team-friendly contract) due to his pass-catching abilities.

Considering the physical toll an NFL season can take on a RB and the fact that we're in win-now mode, I think it would behoove the Rams not to consider signing an experienced RB who possesses a multitude of skills - especially in a part-time role.

  I don't think it gets better than Peterson.

alyoshamucci154July 21, 2021 06:07PM

  In this case, his past makes a difference for me... (nm)

JamesJM109July 21, 2021 06:35PM

  IMO what we need is not so much Peterson to rip off...
