Broncofan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Originally signed to a right-of-first-refusal tender for his 4th year as a RFA, now released. Probably will generate some interest, even in a FA market that still has guys like Kenyan Drake, Damien Williams & James White. Wish him well, he was a 2-down monster for us. Just couldn't pass protect and his pass receiving skills are limited - can't be a 3-down back. Some team will likely want to sign him for his home run potential as a runner, and his tough running that belies his 190-lb size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'd sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'd really like him in Miami. Surprising move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleAdamz Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Another potential RB pickup for the Cardinals, although I'm not sure how Eno Benjamin's been doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It seems KC is very interested. I'm not sure why, but there's a ton of buzz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sense to land Lindsay but will he want to be second fiddle to CEH or seek to be the #1 on another team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Pittsburgh or the Jets is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Sounds like Denver did him a solid by releasing the tender - teams thought Denver was going to match any offer (no picks back since he's a UFA). Class move by the org, do it early so Lindsay gets offers ASAP (after they signed their backup / 3rd RB if they go RB in draft Mike Boone - Minny alumnus GM Paton knows well). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucsDraftGeek47 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I've always been a fan I don't think he's had a fair shot He's small but he's produced when given carries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinSting Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Patriots have an average roster age of 39 and since Lindsay's twitter handle is "ICU boy" he should sign with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue isn't his run game skills in a Shanny-type system. He's really good there. His pass pro is just nonexistent. And his pass catching skills haven't progressed. MG3 was a bad signing for us IMO because we weren't going anywhere with him last year, and I would have much preferred to draft a rookie, and get a budget pass-down RB who could block better, but not tie us down. But now that MG3 is there, that complete skill set is why he got the lion's share. Lindsay is the better runner in a WC / FB blocking run scheme, he didn't adjust nearly as well to Shurmur's scheme last year. But his success his first 2 years as a runner isn't in dispute. His lack of pass game skills (more important in protection) just keeps him off the field, and makes it predictable when he's on the field. He'll still be a big run game asset in a Shanny-scheme (or another that uses the FB). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
