2 years $5.5M total; a bit surprised we didn't want to match that but we can probably replace him for cheaper with a later round pick in the draft or a different FA. He filled in admirably this past season but isn't a guy who should be your #1 (which he is in Atlanta as of now...).

I agree..it’s possible he chose Atlanta because of opportunity to start/have a bigger role than here behind CMC

Ummm, you don't pay players to not be utilized

Well that's what we did last year and then we doubled down and restructured the contract of the highest paid running back in the league.

Where exactly is the benefit to the team in this? It's great guys can show up in their #22 jerseys but when does the winning start? Have you seen our divisional record lately?

Great. He is going to run straight through this weak run defense.

Maybe if we play him early in the season.

By season's end last year, he couldn't handle a full starter's load anymore. We were runningback by committee at that point.

He came in and made the most of his opportunity (something he never really got anywhere else). Now, after making some waves, he's hopefully getting his best contract ever. Good for him and best of the world to the guy.

 

Yea but hate to see him with the Falcons.

From what I've read, he is (at least for the moment) the starter in Atlanta. It's possible he chose the Falcons for that reason.

I honestly think that's a mistake.

Based on what I saw of him last year, he's much better suited to be a top end backup than a full time starter.

Of course everyone chirps in about CMC last season. He had injuries, we brought him back, he was reinjured. 

There was no benefit to the team in that, there never was supposed to be. He was injured. He came back and was utilized before getting reinjured again. He wasn't sat so we would lose games, as is evidenced by the fact we were still trying to win games (Washington anyone?).

    • I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.
    • If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving. 
    • Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
