MrEpsYtown Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I thought Jones looked pretty good as a gunner early on. Not a bad re-sign if it's league minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrod's friend Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 from your perspective, does a signing like this generally preclude taking a RB in the later rounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Grundy Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I guess we can take RB off the draft list!! I like both of these RBs. Hopefully they come back healthy with the speed and shiftiness they had before injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 4 and a fullback at the moment. Cadet and Jones fill roles of 3rd down pass catching depth, and Jones is a teams guy. I don't think its something we're looking at right now.

From a roster building position, yeah ... I'd agree with ScottLaw and yourself. I would have hoped the team would look to get younger and faster at running back.

Regardless of being signed or not, I don't think Cadet will be ready for the start of TC? I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he’s gone. He’s a FA and Beane already said he’s “not in the mix”. Ivory really took Tolbert’s place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of picks likely go into bringing in a QB, so its going to be tough to use one of the remaining ones on a depth running back who doesn't play special teams. They brought in Ivory to bridge at least 1 more year until they draft someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyDavisEyes Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Jones has gotta be one of the best gunners in the league. Great resign. Glad to have Cadet back. Still would like to draft a RB if the value is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rome wasn't built in a day and running backs are still pretty much a dime a dozen. Also we have a 29 year old running back who is still top 5 in the league and hasn't shown signs of slowing down. It's ridiculous that people are actually worried about this. There are much, much bigger needs on this team than running back.

RyanC883 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I love this. I still think we pickup a RB in a later round if one we like falls (Freeman Oregon, the guy from Miami). Or get someone in UDFA. I still have little confidence that any of these guys can adequately replace Shady if he gets hurt. GREAT compliment parts, but can one of these guys play 15 games as the starter?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Liked both of these guys. Draft is deep at RB so hopefully McBean works some late round magic and finds us a new Freddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That run may have been one play, but it actually ended up being crucial to that win, and essentially, the playoff birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
