Well, Gio did have the whole second half of last season to rest cuz he wasn't used that much.

But your point is well taken.  If the either the OLine or the LB position is sufficiently addressed n FA, then you would have the luxury of grabbing a back on Day 2, maybe.  RB's do have a relatively short shelf life compared to other positions so it would be better to have one waiting in the wings before he is absolutely needed than not have a viable option there in time.
