If we draft a rookie QB he makes perfect sense for us. This dude is still a game changer if he has a legit QB to take pressure off him.

 

I think a contender goes after him but I wouldn't be mad if he came here.

Sorry, but those statements are contradictory.  I agree with the second part, but that doesn't mesh with the first.  Usually you need a solid running to take pressure off a rookie QB.  Henry still has it, no doubt, but he's high priced and high mileage, neither of which I'm down with.

We just got rid of one very expensive RB.  Probably not in a hurry to sign another one.  Production from the RB position can be had so cheaply, in so many ways today that I dont see why any team would hand out a huge contract to one.

I wouldn't be in favor of it, but you never know.

I’d rather we wait and see what the Colts may do with Jonathan Taylor. An article a few weeks back (no link) expects them to try and trade him. He’d be worth a 3rd rounder at best and would add another strong runner to complement Hubbard if it happened. JMO

Plus he's not really a part of the receiving game, though it has happened in spurts. With the multifaceted RBs coming out of college, being able to be part of the passing game is essential for these older backs. It's one reason I'm not a huge fan of Chuba. Dude has hands of stone.

Too many miles, too much wear and tear and getting old in RB years.  Not too mention the money he would require.  The days of the 'bell cow' RB are over.  Sure, it's still around, but rarer as time goes on. Plus, plenty of FAs and a deep draft this year at RB.

Hard pass.

He needs to go to Buffalo for a mid pick and Tenn will probably have to eat most of that contract...

We've talked about Schultz here before.

This is probably why we want make a decision about moving up in the draft sooner vs later.  It really lets us know how to address FA with potential holes in our roster.  Our first 4 picks (2 in the 2nd) right now could be potential starters....

Yeah I agree.  Let him walk.  Our OL did a great job in run blocking last year.  Just draft someone like Tank Bigsby in the 4th round and roll with him, Chuba, and a cheap vet.
