Shallow, uniformed, 3 word comments are stupid. This guy can ball. If he's healthy he can spell CMAC for a play or two throughout the game. Same type of player. Good backup option

I hope he plays better this year.  He just looked so stiff the couple times I saw him last year. 

I would not however label him “same type of player” of cmc.  I think they are polar opposites.  

I want a power back.  That is actually utilized by RR.  If not Hood, there are some decent later round options in the draft.  My pick so far this year is Devine Ozigbo out of Nebraska.  We already met with him.

You never know with running backs.  They come out of nowhere at random times more than any position in football.  As an 06' Catholic alum, I guess you can say I'm biased but he was super promising in college.  Thought he was going to project higher in that draft.

I'd be fine with carrying him as our #3 RB who pretty much doesn't see the active roster unpess for injury. I honestly think he's probably better than CAP.

If he would have been healthy I think he probably would have be signed to the active roster over T Cadet.

Glad to see this for @EliMHood . Elijah Hood is a hometown bruiser of an RB (CLT Catholic and UNC roots). Hood also has one of Cam Newton's better nicknames -- "Panic Room," which the quarterback bestowed upon Hood after seeing Hood's eyes grow wide during a film-room session.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      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.
