Let some other team give him a big raise.
Big raise? Who cares?? We have 120 million to spend man. The more good quality starters we can get the better.
Breida will be nothing more than a change of pace back. A guy who can handle 10-12 carries a game. Joe Williams? I'm not even counting him on my latest 53. You would be willing to give a rookie 3rd round RB or a 190 pound former UDFA 20 carries a game or important carries in the 4th quarter when we are trying to hold onto leads? I wouldnt.
Don't let the success of Hunt and Kamara blind you. 3rd rounders coming in and making an impact rarely happens.
In my latest mock I'm working on I have us signing Crowell and drafting LSU's Derrius Guice after a trade down. Crowell and Guice would be a deadly duo and paired with Jimmy our offense would be great.
I care lol....just because you have $118 million doesn't mean you throw it away. Go look at that Chris Ivory contract and tell me that wasn't a f**king waste of money.
Crowell doesn't do anything special IMO and I'd rather spend that money elsewhere.
I'm not saying draft Walton or a 3rd rd prospect, where did I say that? You can draft a RB that would more than likely do exactly what Crowell can offer (who was a UDFA himself) and not cost $6 million a yr.
You want some vet insurance then bring in Alfred Morris on a cheap 1 yr deal.
there's no reason to pay for Crowell, if you're gonna draft Guice (who I'd love in red&gold) IMHO.
