Heard the guys talking about this on WFNZ this morning. A lot of people think CMC won’t last 2-3 more years if he continues to carry the kind of workload he had this year. Others say getting rid of CJ wasn’t a big deal because CMC can handle it... which side are you on?

He did this for all 3 years in college so this is typical for him to touch the ball multiple times. After all he broke Barry Sanders all purpose yard record. On the other hand injuries happen sooner or later so he could only be around for 2 or 3 years more. It won't be because of how he is being used. He wants the ball on every down.

It isn't even about just risking him to injury, it's about versatility in your offense. Look at the Rams, Chiefs, and even the Patriots running the ball down teams throats with versatility. They aren't trying to run the offense through only one player though. Ya'll wanna celebrate all purpose yards in a losing season, yeah it's great, but guess what? Still no back to back winning seasons, and we tumbled to the bottom of the division in the process. How is this a good thing? I get trying to find a silver lining, but for a fanbase that in the past has constantly cried about not getting respect, you should all be able to see this. Especially the fans giving people poo for calling out Ron Rivera's mismanagement.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
