Dolphins have a very deep and inexpensive RB room. Yeah idk what this guy is thinking. Both of those teams are set at RB. The Vikings have Dalvin Cook, Latavius Murray, Jerrick McKinnon, and CJ Ham (FB/RB) all set to make the roster. There's no room for Mathews.

Last I heard Murray was on PUP and Cook was struggling in TC. But maybe I heard wrong. Dolphins have had some injuries at RB as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook has actually been tearing up training camp and Murray was taken off the PUP about a week ago so even with the loss of Bishop Sankey the Vikings are set at the RB position now.

He really was never that good. Well, he is pretty good, if he could ever survive a full season he'd be a regular 1k yard rusher. He can also do a lot of things out of the backfield effectively and he is seldom tackled by the first guy. His time with the Eagles was disappointing but he averaged over 5 YPC in Chip's offense and had a down year this past season but still averaged 4.3 YPC. Health and fumbles are his two issues, but when he's healthy he's certainly a pretty talented back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 He will probably latch on somewhere, not as a starter though. Teams that come to mind are the Colts, 49ers, Ravens, Packers, and Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaiderX Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 No use wondering if he can stay healthy. Hasn't done it since maybe HS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their backup suffered one today also, but paying good money for an established vet is not the right response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gore is the workhorse, Turbin is the short yardage guy, and Mack is the change of pace + developmental guy. It makes sense on the surface since it's not an overly talented group, but I don't know where the touches would come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDrew Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 He fumbles a lot, and needs big holes to run through. He can run fast and hard in a straight line. It's going to take an injury for somebody to sign him. The reports will show a lot of visits, but no contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to pass a physical and being able to avoid further and more serious injuries are not mutually dependent things. He can do one and not the other.

I've been following the Broncos' HB situation pretty close though, and they've got four backs they like a lot, and a fullback. None of their half backs are great (though I'm a big Anderson fan), but they're all serviceable. Their rookie, Henderson, is also exciting. I've seen Vikings mentioned, my team, and I would like it. He's a strong back and we could use that. Only problem is that there's zero chance. We have three very serviceable backs, one being a second round rookie. There's no space for him, unfortunately.
