Now they are sitting on the fences unsigned even after many teams have had injuries at RB. And we don't even know the extent of Mixon's injury at this point. So again who would you try to sign?
You keep saying we need someone better to back up Mixon (or step in should he miss some games). But you have yet to suggest a solution.
How about Duke Johnson? A Gio-clone who is still young (27)?
Also on the Pro Football Rumors top 100 free agents:
14. Todd Gurley (at least worth a look)
21. Derrius Guice
57. DeAndre Washington
79. Bo Scarbrough
85. Adrian Peterson
86. LeSean McCoy
87. Frank Gore
88. Alfred Morris
95. TJ Yeldon
Again, Duke jumps out the most to me, but Gurley, AP and a few others might be worthy of a workout at the very least.
People have been complaining about the pass blocking by our backups, and Perine is averaging around 3.3 ypc.
There has to be someone that can do better than bad blocking and 3.3 ypc...
