I like Rodney Anderson, he could be a sleeper for us. He hasn’t been able to stay healthy, but might have an easier time in a rotation. He can do everything a feature back can.

Geathers is meeting with Dallas today.

Why would we bring in Ajayi? How many RB's are near their former selves in the first year back from an ACL? Not many.

Because a solid #2 with a similar skillset to Mack is needed in case he goes down and getting that from a 25 yo on a reasonable FA contract rather than needing to spend a draft pick for it is a pretty reasonable idea.

He's a better pass catcher IMO. He should be cheap. If he gets anything I'm sure it'll be a one year deal. Maybe w/team option but I can't imagine his market is very hot. He must just fit Reich's offense well when healthy.

Well he was the feature back on the Eagles championship team for which Reich was OC.

Didn't Sproles do a lot of the damage from the RB position that year though? Hard to believe that little man is still playing.

He's not going to be a solid #2. He's going to be half the RB he was previously this year at best. Why bother? You can find better options than a RB coming off an ACL.

I believe Ajayi was the RB that had the most touches and snaps per game on that team, at least during their playoff run, but I could be wrong.

Well shit, if you can predict the future, tell Ballard which guys in the draft will be All-Pros and Pro Bowlers so he can draft them.

Don't be stupid. You know the numbers for RB's that come back anywhere near their former selves in that first year is incredibly small. The overwhelming odds say he won't be very good this next season, so why sign him and waste a spot?
