They had options to keep him. When you have squat (remember they didn’t have Malik yet) on offense, you have to keep the one blue chip piece you’ve got. Even though I’m not typically pro-paying running backs.
Fair point and I agree they would’ve been bad with him and no QB. But letting him go to a division rival, have an incredible statistical season, and make the Super Bowl has to sting.
Isn’t this the dude who looked completely clueless on the sideline against Josh earlier this year in the Jacksonville game? Big mustache who came into the game thinking man was a good idea and then refused to come out of man as his team was being eaten alive? Color me unimpressed.
Now this dude is a damn warrior. Sucks injuries robbed him of a career, but I’ll never forget what he did for the team in that Miami heat game on a torn ACL.
