If you are GM of the team…do you re sign Foreman to a long term deal?

What say ye fellow Huddle make believe GM’s? Say another team offers Foreman a long term deal this offseason… Do you match a long term deal (say 3 years) for good money, or do you let him walk? I say Bozeman is priority 1 to re sign, then you have to decide if it’s worth spending money on Foreman.

When Darin Gantt was ask if we will re sign Foreman, this was his response:

“Foreman was genuinely wondering if he was ready to retire and get on with his life's work at a certain point, as injuries kept him from ever establishing himself his first three seasons.

But in the last two seasons, he's shown that if you need to replace an All-Pro running back in midseason, he's your guy.

The job he did last year replacing Henry in Tennessee, followed by his jumping in and becoming a bell-cow back after the McCaffrey trade this year, has been impressive.

He's a free agent this offseason, one of the few non-quarterback free agents the Panthers have. He's earned the right to see what the market bears for him, but I could see keeping him around if the price is right. He's a physical back, and I think because of the beatings he administers (and receives), you'd probably be wise to keep him in tandem with another back or two (like Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear).

He's a big Newton's second law of motion guy (Isaac, not Cam). If force equals mass times acceleration, having 235 pounds of faster-than-he-looks Foreman behind a literal ton of offensive linemen (when they go with seven or eight on the field at a time) sounds like quite a problem for other people to solve.”

No.  RB's have become almost an easy plug and play.  No to long term deals for them because their shelve life is way to short.

I don’t know if he would get a huge deal, but It will be interesting to see. I would love to have him back as he has been a bright spot, but it’s not a good idea to spend a lot on that position.

even tho 70% of the huddle wanted to cut chubba, he had his best game of his career......

To answer the question, i need to know who is the 2023 OC.

forced answer- whats the $$$$$, but heavily lead to "NO"

fyi look at the 2023 FA RBs.......plus there will be cuts, parents dont let your kids play RB....

AAV between 2.5-4 mill, years 2-3. That's closer to going rate. Same as a higher end rookie.

 

Personally if it goes over 3 mill per, think about passing and going with another rookie. Thankfully, the mid tier RB market isnt the crazy QB market. QB market: low end starter can get 20mill AAV.....

We can get him for a fraction of the cost of CMC for 2 to 3 years. The Market will be saturated with RBs this offseason so there is no reason to break the bank. Plus, we no longer have Hurney so we don't have a GM willing to overpay a replaceable position any longer.

Let him test the market and give him a fair market deal (it won't be ludicrous).

I'd love to have him back.

      Chuba Hubbard is expected to miss Week 5

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think Chuba is better in pass pro. I think Chuba does a better job setting up blockers, while Dowdle tends to just want to juke or outrun defenders. He has more big play potential, but probably won't get you the consistent numbers. He'll get you in more 3rd and long situations. Now I'm actually excited to see Etienne get more burn. That kid has big play ability written all over him. And he is NOT a punt returner.

      Luke Kuechly HC (Not Joking Faks)

      Maybe had you put it that way instead of dismissing the guy as a ‘radio’ I wouldn’t have pushed back. I get that. At the same time, he knows the team, he is brilliant at film diagnosis, highly disciplined and would have the instant respect of any and all players in that locker room. Coaches too probably. It is hard to overstate how good he was and that includes the mental side.  I wouldn’t bet against him. Give him a couple of seasons to get the job down.  I shouldn’t say every, but I bet it is every… OC or DC that got a HC gig has said they weren’t ready for everything that goes with being a HC. Totally different than the job they had been doing, because now they have to deal with everything and they didn’t even know what that was when they started.  edit: I guess a point I am trying to make with him is, you can work your way up through jobs but when you get promoted the job is not just a higher level of the job you were doing, it is a different job requiring new skills.  The failed HC ranks are full of great coordinators for that very reason.  I resist the dogma of you can’t be good at that unless you were good at LB coach or DC.  To me, Wilks wasn’t a real good DC but he somehow understood that HC job intuitively.
