They are going to give RB1 to Henderson- as they should. Now, that doesn't mean he will have 270+ carries. But I think reality is also there is absolutely no one hanging out there they could sign that could come in and be that.

Johnson (if healthy) is the type that could come in and give them 100-120 touches as the RB2. Alyo likes Adrian Peterson as a short yardage guy. I can understand that. But it comes down to role players. That's what's out there and that's what they can add if they feel Jones/Calais/Funk cannot be.

Just wanted to note here that Jones Calais Funk was my favorite bass player of the progressive soul era.

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

  I don't think it gets better than Peterson.

alyoshamucci157July 21, 2021 06:07PM

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

JamesJM111July 21, 2021 06:35PM

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