And they won’t be releasing Barkley. His cap hit is guaranteed, which is why he’s been the target of trade rumors. We’d have to trade for him.

You’re the only person who wants to trade for an injury prone RB making $7M. Injuries to his legs and feet even! It makes zero sense unless we can turn the injuries off in Madden. I would rather draft a RB or bring Lenny back.

Are we trusting a rookie and using a pick in the first 3 rounds? 27? We need an immediate impact starter with that pick. Breece Hall? RB in the first round is blasphemy nowadays.

The going rate for a free agent RB looks like it’s about $6M-$7M per.

I don’t see Fournette taking another discount, and we could certainly use a more dynamic player than he is anyway.

You wouldn’t give up a 4th or 5th round pick to see if Barkley in a contract year could find it again with us? Ok. I would.

I don't think Lenny takes a discount, either. He already has a ring, and he's already done his prove it deals. This is his chance to pay for his family's retirement, and with the current state of running backs in the NFL, he'd be stupid to pass it up.

As for the rest of your post, yes to all. We need Vaughn, we need a veteran to start (or at least push him), and we likely need to draft someone.

I like that kid Pierce from UF. A bullish runner with a burst of speed once he gets past the first wave of defenders. He can be had in the 4th or 5th round.

White from UGA is also a very good option. He can be had in the 6th round. Reminds me of Larry Csonka when he goes up the middle dragging three guys with him and still gets you four or five yards.

That rarely translates from college to the NFL, where the back's physical dominance over defenders suddenly isn't.

Dameon Pierce, end of 3rd. He's a productive, physical, sneaky dangerous runner in the Frank Gore mold. He's the best pass blocking back in this draft. He's comfortable as a lead blocker. He has good hands.

Best way I can describe him - a more explosive Earnest Graham who does everything Earnest did (block, catch passes, gain tough yardage) better than Graham did.

The market for Lenny is getting interesting.

I pegged him at about 2-16-10 or so.

Most teams COULD squeeze that on their cap. Some teams I think could try:

- Chicago. Eberflus knows this is a rebuild. The best way to compete with a young QB in that situation is to run the ball a ton, something he knows about from Indy. Lenny would be a good 1B starter with David Montgomery.

- Falcons. They're in cap hell. But they desperately need a back, and Arthur Smith knows something about building an offense around a power runner.

- Jets. Michael Carter is a nice player, as many of us predicted. But he's a 3rd Down/COP type back. Lenny would look good on 1st and 2nd down.

- Texans. No reading tea leaves. Davis Johnson is about cooked and Lovie has made it clear upgrading the RB Room is a priority.

- Titans. Would now be a good time to go from 80-20 with Henry's carries to maybe 60-40?

- Chargers. Ekeler is a great weapon, but sometimes the job calls for a hammer. Herbert would eat off those play actions when Lenny is running well.

- Chiefs. See Chargers. The Chiefs have one way to beat you. Using Lenny to shorten games when Mahomes is having an off day would be another.

I like him as well. He is an all around back. Would be a perfect for us and Bruce "we don't pay for running backs" Arians.
