Honestly wouldn't hurt to add him for vet min. if he's okay with not getting 15+ carries per game. He still had some juice left in the tank last year with the Cards as their feature back. Would make our HB depth amazing. Just not sure he'd be okay being the 3rd guy...

Listening to the whole interview, honestly it sounds to me like he just wants to be on a roster.

Who knows what happens if he gets here, though?

Only way I can see it working out is putting CJ at FB (which I would really like). That way we have CJ and CMC on the field at the same time with AP backing up. But I dont think he has anything left.

I can't agree with CJ at FB. The guy is an RB, not a blocker, and we just survived the Tolbertback experiment. A FB needs to block in this offense.

CJ is one of the best blockers in the backfield though. He was top 2.

He did an interview days ago and we were like the seventh team mentioned.  No hate for sharing but I'd say pass.  Would rather have Gates to give us the extra push for the super bowl while giving Thomas an extra year to learn from/over take Gates.  Olsen Gates with a budding Thomas would be the best TE group in the league.  I'm good with Anderson and McCaffrey + CAP or Hood or Barber depending on who we keep.

CJ was a 1000 rusher and among the best at blocking from the RB position.  He is our best rushing option along side CMC.  He won't be relegated to FB.  He will carry the ball a lot as well as 35-45 receptions.  We will be glad to have him.

What do you mean by relegated to FB? You say that like it's a bad thing. FBs can do what RBs can do, they're just better at blocking.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
