Snake Plissken Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Just now, gopherwrestler said: Figured he would bounce anyway. Had a helluva season splitting carries. Grew a bunch. Loses a good bit of his role to Cook next year. Was a nice compliment to Murray, but Cook is a much better version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 I wonder what someone like Andre Ellington would command in free agency to replace him if we were to go that route rather than the draft. Ellington has KR experience as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other that that, we don't have a lot of "extra" pieces Maybe sendajo ondraft day if they'd happen to draft a safety fairly high? I doubt it though unless Zimmer would feel good about starting Harris for a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellington has KR experience as well. no reason to burn a potential comp. pick by signing a FA RB. You can get a good enough #3 RB as an UDFA or 7th round pick. Or just use Mack Brown. The 3rd RB is never going to see any playing time unless both Cook and Murray get hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I see is that Murray is a good option solely for the red zone...allowing Cook to stay out of those types of situations where he potentially could get hurt again. Have Murray essentially just be a better version of Asiata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The good news is with 2 QBs and McKinnon leaving, we will be getting some good comp. picks in 2019. We will be getting at least one this year too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Murray essentially just be a better version of Asiata. the way murray's deal is structured i always assumed it would be a one year deal. if we cut him this offseason we lose $1.2 million in dead cap but save a little over $5 million. seems like a no-brainer to cut him when we could sign a goal line back for much less than $5 million.

Sometimes it is off on the round of the pick based on the exact thresholds between rounds not being known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Zach Fulton is a guy who’d be high on my list. Ideal replacement for Berger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
