Free Agent Market: Running Backs Galore

I have defended Isaiah Crowell, even vs some very smart people.  Duke Johnson really needs no defending.  I don't consider running back as a team need.

But holy cow, there are free agent running backs coming out of the woodwork!  The sheer number of them will suppress their contracts.  The Browns have to look at this as an opportunity.

Lamar Miller, Doug Martin, and Chris Ivory are really the top three.  They're all YOUNG ENOUGH to matter to a young and building team a year away from contention DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

I like LeGarrett Blount a lot, but he's 29 and his style got him all beat up.  I know I'll hear his name a lot, because he's a familiar name.  That's a non-starter unless Hue thinks he can be a blocking fullback for the league minimum.  (Fullbacks are the hittERS and not hitees so they can play longer).

Committees work fine.  Talent is talent.  More talent is better.  Let's see what happens.
