FA RBs to watch...

[NBP81]

Here are some of the free agents RBs to watch who are fast and 30 years old or less. I wouldnt be surprised to see the Fins target some of these players.

• Boston Scott, 26, Phi, RFA
• Matt Breida, 26,Buf, UFA, Played for the Fins and wasnt very good, but had very productive seasons under McDaniel maintaining 5 YPC in SF.
• Jalen Richard, 28, LV, UFA
• Tevin Cloeman, 28, NYJ, UFA, previous experience with McDaniel.
• Raheem Mostert, 29, SF, UFA(4.32), experience with McDaniel.
• Jerick McKinnon, 29, KC, UFA, previous experience with McDaniel.
• Cordarrelle Patterson,30, ATL, UFA
• Philip Lindsay, 27, Mia, UFA

Raheem Mostert on a 1 year prove it deal seems destined to happen. He's coming off an injury, but should be ready for next season.

I am generally risk averse to older RB's but Patterson seems like a good fit with McDaniel and he just played for the potential new OC at Atlanta.

Deffo see Mostert given a hard think by McDaniel and company and I wouldn't mind that. Also, I think Boston Scott is better than perhaps some people think he is.

I really hope to see what Duke can add to his small sample size with us last year. All I saw was a dude who ran hard and seemed to have good vision and instincts.
And.....love having backs that finish falling forward when tackled.

I like the player, and I can see it happening, but the problem with him, is he always coming off an injury.

Of those listed, I like McKinnon.

He impressed me during the Chiefs playoff run this yr

Really like Scott.

Yeah. I wouldn't do anymore than 1 year $2.5 million for him. I also just want nothing to do with Cordarrelle Patterson. Guys going to be 31 in March and probably will get something like 3 years $22.5 million, and I want nothing to do with that.

I feel mixed at this moment. I thought Duke gave us a nice taste, but I would consider other options too.

 

[NBP81]

Also want to point out that Lindsey is absolutely part of that list(4.39, 27 years old), wouldnt be surprised if the Fins re-signed him...

 

[BobDole]

Duke and Mostert in FA, a 3rd-5th rounder, and that should about do it.

 

[mrbunglez]

I say keep Lindsay and Johnson. Then pick one up in the draft like Isaiah Spiller.

I want someone that is also a beast catching out of the backfield.

 

[Ninja Foot]

Think Patterson would be the target for McDaniel. He's the guy you get to "be your Deebo."

I kind of want to see what our current backs can do in a new system before bring in a whole new rb room. I still want to see Doaks progress and get a look. I want to see more Duke and Lindsay too.

Maybe 1 in FA and draft 1. That's it. I think I remember reading something about McKinnon coming here, somewhere. I don't remember where.
