Duce Staley talked in his presser about needing "a stable" of runningbacks these days to keep the wear and tear down on the individual backs.

Roschon Johnson or Charbonnet would absolutely be tantalizing with Miles Sanders.  

Thinking right in line with how DET used Jamaal/Swift.

Sanders, Hubbard (I think he is a decent 2nd back), and probably a mid/late draft pick. All should have a nice OL to run behind.

I don't care how you get one, but you have to get a WR #1.

You can't draft a rookie QB 1st overall and pay an RB 6.5 million and not give your top pick a #1 WR.

I know we can't get a #1 for the same 6.5, but we could have used that plus a little more to have signed someone who could have fit the bill and then drafted an RB in the 3rd round to go along with a cheaper FA option.

Again, I like landing Sanders, behind our OL he should be real good, and I don't hate the contract as long as we get a #1 WR this year, if we don't, I'm not going to be so thrilled about it.

This signing has no bearing on whether we can get a WR. 1st year cap hits are always Iow; Sanders is probably going to account for $2 million in 2023. That's not the difference between us affording a good receiver vs not. The bigger issue is there aren't really any WR1s available in free agency. Probably our best bet is getting an ok #2 like Parris Campbell and drafting one with pick 39. Or we could consider trading a day 3 pick for Hopkins. But all of those are still very feasible after this signing.

I'd keep Sanders, Foreman and Blackshear myself.

Maybe a fourth guy on the practice squad.

Meh. There is more to this. We need offensive weapons. He can catch. WR FA is poo. Even trading up to get a WR, to expect him to be balling season 1 is very rare. If we don’t do something to support our 1 overall QB we have set him up for failure and wasted capital doing so. Very likely won’t be until year two Reich can really open things up and we might be in for a lot of running/dunking next year.

These are the (good) reasons this move is a bit expensive. I still approve of it. What can you do? The FA market is what it is and the Bears wanted Moore.

Really need to find that WR though…anyone. Just looking at the depth chart is a complete joke.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
