He's in final year, only making around 700k... Wants an extension obviously, Coleman making about the same... Quite the value

He is in year 3 of 4. He will not be a FA until 2018. He is eligible for a contract extension - hence the posturing.
Don't be surprised to see Shaun Droughn on the roster. He was in Cleveland with Shanahan.
Get Lacy and Deangelo Williams and draft a rookie and let em fight it out.

Interesting. At worst cut him when making the 53. I'd bring him back.

Good timing
A lot of great RBs in the draft. 5 that I really like:

  • McCaffrey would obviously make a great receiving RB.
  • Dalvin Cook is much better than Freeman coming out of college.
  • Corey Clement is an elite talent, just hasn't been durable (so may be ideal for time share).
  • Jamaal Williams looks like a great big bruising back.
  • And finally you have Jeremy McNichols from Boise who has all the makings of one of those 3rd/4th round backs that ends up being very productive in the NFL.
McCaffrey and Cook are likely 1st rounders. So Clement, Williams, and McNichols are guys to keep an eye for in the mid rounds

Joe Mixon could be a hit.

He's my choice for a mid round RB. Good receiver out of the backfield.

Very punny, sus.

I would take a flyer on Lacy. He'd be a nice complementary back to Hyde. Both guys can catch and run with the ball out of the backfield. Lacy is still very young and he's got something to prove. He needs a change of scenery. Green Bay fans have given up on the guy.

Well, in fairness to GB fans Lacy needs a change of diet.

Can't show up fat and unmotivated and expect the fans to show you love. Sure, he has potential but at this point that's all he has (besides a healthy appetite).

Not sure if he's a good fit for Shanny's system.

Understood. But that wasn't his issue this year. He was injured after performing well. I think reducing his and Hyde's workload in a shared backfield would really increase both of their production.
