Thanks 

I hope he’s ok. It looked like he was hurt this week. I hope he can play vs the Saints.

Jonathan Stewart said on his podcast this week that things are different for division game week in terms of rest for key players. 

Hopefully that is the major factor.

Trying to figure out his value this offseason is going to be tough for us or any other team. His agent knows RBs in their late 20s are in low demand due to eventual fall off in production and injury risks so he’s going to get every dollar he can for his client.

They had a locker room interview and he said he was playing. Don’t know what day it was recorded.

I'm on board with a 3 year deal

I don’t know how he could hold up at this level of use for three years. 
And I am not counting on Brooks but Rico is what they thought they were getting in Brooks. 
 

If somehow Brooks comes back right we have a good problem.

I think they should put all RB's on 1 year deals.  They all show out in that situation lol.  Same goes for edge rushers.

Great player and a class act.

Well somebody's gonna pay him.  It's a fair concern that he won't hold up even until he's 30, as he's 27 now.  But I'd be willing to take that risk.  Sign me up for 2-3 more seasons of Rico.  (Might have to eat a bad one for year 3)  Pay him like the top 10 back he's been this season and pound the rock.

I think he's got a couple years until he falls off hard like Stephen Davis and Marion Barber.

Yeah somebody will pay him. You can’t look at what he is doing and not want that foryour backfield.
