    There has to be another RB whether they draft one, or sign one. I don't think they will give Greene 300+ carries.

    Bring in a veteran at a modest price who you can count on to backup Greene and Leon. Don't draft a RB!

    <30 = Mike Bell
    >30 = Chester Taylor - Excellent hands out of the back field, and he's also a really good blocker. TJ was good at picking up the blitz, and he will be missed in that aspect.

    Taylor is an UFA though. Tough to do that deal.

    How about Norwood or Lendale White? Mike Bell wouldn't be that bad though. But I would want to give White a try since he feel out of the Titans rotation with the emergence of Johnson. But White would be great in the red zone or goal line.

    Also I would give Chauncey Washington a try too. Heres a funny one how about Jesse Chatman?

    Norwood White, possibly even Snelling are all at the top of my list.

    The only challenge with these guys is whether they get tendered. Im almost sure White gets tendered, the other guys are up in the air.

    Eitherway all 3 of them would be absolutely perfect. If we got White id want him to get "fat" again though, not a fan of him so much now that he lost all that weight (and possibly power?). Then again he hasnt gotten much playing time with the rise of CJ.

    Hmm yeah after reading up on the 3, Fisher said he plans on keeping white (short of someone trading for him which the jets wont), and Snelling is an Exclusive rights free agent. Still hope we can get Norwood, but odds are he gets tendered

    As a "backup", I think Westbrook could help us out.

    Yes. Thank you. People seem to have hard time understanding when I say it.

    On SportsCenter, Schefter said McGahee might be available at the right price. Not suggesting we go after him, esp. since Schefter said "at the right price" (i'm gueesin they're not necessarily looking to get rid of him) but it's a possibility.

    Ravens are trying REALLY hard to retain their vets.

    Theyre giving out first round tenders left and right.

    Even Fabian Washington got a 1st round tender when he was expected to get cut. McClain was supposed to get a 2nd and he also got a first.

    I like Fargas a lot. He gets injured pretty often though :/.

    Those who said LenDale White, no thanks. He's always out of shape, and he's a headcase. The dude still thinks he's at USC. I'd rather have Bell and co.
