Foreman...does he stay or does he go?

Interesting to see what the offer on the table is. Have heard nothing about him really. Hopefully it's a competitive offer. 

Multi year deal or another one year offer? Good player with stuff left in the tank. 

Opinions?

I imagine that he's testing the market, much like Bozeman did.  Bozeman saw that he wouldn't make $10 million a year, and said he'd come back for a place he likes where he's going to get as good a deal as he can.  Foreman is probably in the same boat.  See who will pay the most because he's a runningback and knows that he's not in the CMC class of big money backs.

I was hoping for what happened with Bozeman. It was eyebrow raising that he only got the deal he did last offseason so  the talk of him on a big money deal seemed a little unlikely. 

Foreman is going to be facing a VERY deep market at RB, so we also might be able to get him fairly cheaply.

RBs are different animals on the negotiating table.  They have a short life span (most peak at 26-27 and start declining after that--when they are negotiating.  He had the best year of his career, but he is nothing more than a journeyman.  I am sure he wants to get paid, but he is a one-dimensional back who runs hard.  A young QB needs an outlet/checkdown, so he is not an ideal fit here.  I bet they lowballed the hell out of him--no more than $3m.

Foreman will be 27.  I'd welcome him back for cheap.  But we likely saw the best he will ever give. 

We really need to replace Hubbard.  We need a pass catching RB.  

Agreed. Chuba might have the worst hands of any NFL skill position player I've ever seen. Like the dude is trying to catch a football with tennis rackets. Just awful.
