How is there not a thread for this guy yet. Who wants him and for how much? I would like to get him I'm really not sure what the price for him would be. I guess somewhere between 6 and 9 million a year.

Lewis has a similar skillset to Breida. Not sure he makes sense as the other guy getting carries.

Only similarity between Breida and Lewis is size. Lewis is a great between the tackle runner who rarely drops passes, Brieda is an outside guy who struggles catching the ball.

Breida struggles to catch passes? Seen the dude lineup at WR and catch a nice pass.

Breida was the #2 NFL RB in dropped passes last season with 5...his catch rate was 58.3%. By comparison Lewis had a 91.4% catch rate and dropped 0 passes.

Wish I could see a game log of his drops. I'd like to see how he fared by quarters. More so second half of the season, last quarter with Jimmy.

I gave you what's available, if you find something that covers that let me know. Either case Breida struggled at certain things last year but he was a rookie. Lewis would be a good mentor for that RB Room.

Good. They will Regret letting Frank Gore go for a 28 y/o RB that has averaged 8 games per seaons played since coming into the league.

History tells us he will be injured before the season starts.
