CJ was basically a wasted signing. He's one of the highest paid #2 RBs in the NFL and he hasn't even gotten typical #3 RB opportunities.

The thing is, he's super usable and the return on RBs is nothing these days.   I think we're in a perfectly fine RB situation bc of this.  I think he should get 4-6 carries min. a game but it doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment.

I'm sure he was led to believe he was going to have a much more significant role than this when he signed. We've basically tanked his career. He'll be a veteran minimum type player when he hits the market next year. We've also basically taken ourselves out of the market for any other FA RB who has other offers. In other words, we better draft a backup RB in this coming draft.

There is truth there.  Just don't forget that the position seems to have the most consistent pipeline out of any these days in regards to asset proven talent.  We've got Matt Breidas, Tarik Cohens, Chris Carsons, and Philip Lindseys scattered around the league.

I like CJ, and I can definitely see a point about him being underutilized...

But we are 6-2, and this is professional football...

The team matters a lot more than his feelings... CAP isnt even active, and he's capable of being a solid backup.

Only 1 ball to go around

I first pie'd, but then I decided to cargo.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
