If you don't have a stellar OL, you better have a RB that can block ... evidenced by the 2013 Miami Dolphins.
Overpay for a RB that's averaged 693 yards a year that all of a sudden started caring when
he was in a contract year and a rookie was brought in at his position?
Sure. Why not?
I like Mason alot. Along with some of the other backs.....but if we signed Moreno I think it would pretty much end an RB drafting until the 5th or later. If the RB was BPA Id still do it...but they wont. They would be bringing Moreno in to pair with Lamar Miller....and if you are drafting a RB in the 2-3 you better be getting them touches.
There should be an open spot for a RB though even if he did sign...Thomas and Gillislee just arent very good.

And lets not ignore the fact that last year was the first time he played a full season since his rookie year, I don't trust him one single bit. Furthermore, he had a guy named Peyton lighting up the record books, making is a bit easier on the RB, all signs point to a guy who is going to be way overpaid this year I just hope we're not the team to do it.
To be fair he had just under 1000 yds as a rookie with only 9 starts. In 2012 and 2011 he was injured most of those yrs and last year when healthy caught fire.
Theres no such thing as an expensive rb especially two weeks into free agency
