Bleeding Bills Blue Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I try not to confuse usage of a running back with ability. He has good hands, has experience, and is probably a solid fit in their offense. A good #1 running back in an era where most teams don't really leverage a single player in a role like that. At the same time, how much better is he going to be than the trio of Wilson/Mostert/Achane? Is that a good use of money/cap space? Does it help you win any more games than you did before? Or just put another name on paper for the media to love on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 Just now, eball said: Why would the Jests pursue him if Breece is back and healthy? They also have Carter. Breece may be back but healthy might be another story. It took Barkley a couple of seasons to regain his old form which he did last year. The Jets may look to get him as insurance if Breece struggles to get back to what he was before he got hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Rather he goes to Denver but if he wants to suck up the cap room in Miami and plays like a shadow of his former self that's fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 7 years that have elapsed since, Floyd has become a pretty good run stopper. There's a great 12 minute breakdown on Cover 1 right now if anyone cares to watch, but...Floyd is certainly not a liability in this department, as far as I can tell. 4 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 2 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: He’s a RB. Don’t care. Not at all concerned if either Jets or Dolphins make a play for him. Dolphins are a legitimate threat if Tua stays healthy, but that’s a gigantic if. I am not threatened but I am concerned. Adding any more potential weapons to that team is concerning. I don't think he will make a massive difference in their abilities but he will be capable of changing game schemes and strategies. Potentially to the point of taking over a game enough to keep Tua safer. As much as it rides on Tua with a decent OL, a good mix of RB's, finding a serviceable TE, and their WR's that dorky coach douche (McDaniel?) Is capable of playing the team conservative enough to win. Their defense can stop teams from scoring 20 pts. Their offense can score 20+ points.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Probably ends up in Miami especially due to FSU connection. But Carolina has I believe the 2nd most cap space and although starting their new chapter I think pairing him with Miles Sanders could do a lot to help Young out early. Bears have the most cap space and have the division familiarity, but not sure they want to add him to Foreman, Herbert, and rookie R. Johnson.

For his sake I hope he can as you don't want to see anyone get hurt. From that hip injury he suffered at Alabama to the concussions last year I think it's only a matter of time before Mike White takes over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I really don't see the Dolphins taking him. They may have been interested early in the off season but they moved forward and drafted a guy the reportedly really like. I think of the AFCE teams that NE is a sneaky choice. Rhomandre is a good RB but they like depth there and Belichick isn't afraid to go after aging vets (Corey Dillon comes to mind). A guy like Cook getting released this late in the off season is really doing him dirty as many teams have their RB rooms set with FAs and draft picks.

Logic Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I don't really see how he ends up anywhere other than Miami. As I understand it, he's from that area, and has stated the Dolphins and Bills as his two preferred destinations. Meanwhile, the Dolphins could use an upgrade at RB (Achane, Wilson, Mostert are fine, but could be upgraded) and have the money to sign Cook. I bet he's a Dolphin by Monday at the latest.

It’s their passing game and coach that concerns me… McDaniel is a good coach, but they have an injury riddled QB who’s not nearly as good as Allen even when healthy so again, not concerned. IDK, Hill, Waddle, and then Cook if they add him? Coupled with our inability to defend the run against even mediocre RBs at times ... Sounds like something to be concerned about to me, particularly since neither draftee Williams nor newly acquired Floyd have as their specialty Run D. I guess I'd rather have him on the Fins than the Jets tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago - they have a nice RB room, but Cook was done dirty and could see him trying to stay in division/they also have cap room 3. Tampa - FL connection, game 1 vs Vikings, Fournette no longer there 4. Chargers - this would be a bit surprising, but would give them a great 1-2 with Ekeler / insurance policy, continue use Ekeler in variety of ways 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
