The lack of use seems to suggest they just paid a lot of money for a "open in case of emergency" RB. I wonder what coach asked for him?


I know some of you feel the need to defend every move the FO makes, especially against “message board GMs” but do you not see how foolish that is? Why would you pay anything over vet minimum for a “use in case of emergency” RB. If it was a team way under the cap that needed to get over the floor maybe but for a team way over, it’s nonsensical to play $8M guaranteed for a guy you don’t use. You can literally find guys off the street for that role. He ran for 1000 yds and 17 TDs for the Lions last year ans they let him walk. That should be a giant red flag.

The guy had ONE 600 yard season prior in his career with half of his career seasons having YPC below 4 ypc. His previous td high was 4.


He had one year of falling into the end zone with swift being hurt for most of year.
