It's not cheap but we've been running Jacobs into the ground and as a result has been getting hurt and less effective. We needed a big time COP back and I don't think $5.5 for a low end RB1/high end RB2 is that bad. We now have one of the better and more well-rounded RB rooms.

That being said, I agree that we need to continue to invest into the defense. I'm not sure where things are on that front. whether or not we cut another player, 5.5 mil on a backup RB is bad business. 7+ is terrible business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnobili Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 on a lighter note, our backfield is now Drake and Josh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(But yes @Turnobili is correct - incentives likely to be hit are counted for present-year, unlikely to next year. Don't ask how they decide this - it's probably the same spinning wheel that doles out punishment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible is very strong. He is a good player and he's going to play a lot. People were complaining about RB depth. Booker is getting 3 a year. Paying Drake 5.5 when Drake is substantially better isn't the worst thing in the world. We were paying Richard 3.5. What is 2 more million in the big scheme of things?

I'm not saying having more than 1 RB/someone to take the weight off Jacobs is bad, I'm talking strictly from a $ prospective. Just not a smart investment imo.

MrOaktown_56 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Also I can't say best backfield because of Chubb Hunt. But we're up there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson literally asked to be released so we didn't have much of a choice. But I do agree there are a lot of other places I'd invest $ first. OL/S/CB.
