Not sure I want Elliott, but we have too many needs to fill with draft picks. (Backup RB, starting TE, backup TE, starting CB, maybe RT if we trade Jonah)

Quote:"What it came down to, really, was how up front Denver was with me as far as playing time and what coach Payton wants to do with me, personally, and what he wants to do as an offense," Perine said, via the Denver Post. "The first time I talked with coach Payton when everything opened up -- that first day -- the thing he really emphasized was his history of using multiple backs, using two backs in his time with the Saints and going through the history of the backs he's had.

"That made my decision a tad bit easier."

We need to get way cheaper at RB, not more expensive.

Good luck with that oline!

Maybe they invest in some talent this year. Russ could get killed again.

Perine is 4th in pass block protection, he is not a dime a dozen.

That said, I'm all for dumping Mixon as well, but I'd ask him to take a pay cut first.
