If you are GM of the team…do you re sign Foreman to a long term deal?

[MHS831]

The OL has a lot to do with his success.  I mean, Hubbard and Blackshear are doing well when they play.  Nope on a big contract, yes to a small contract.  I would spend my money on Bozeman.

He’s nothing special all he’s getting is volume with a solid Oline 

Define special?

He is a solid running back who can move the pile and pick up the tough yards better than any rb we have had since Jonathan Stewart.   We should not break the bank for him, but signing him for about 4 million a year (which would put him around 20th in rb pay) for 3 years or so, wouldn't be a bad deal

I would consider another year if the next coach needs a bruiser their first season with the team, assuming it's not Wilks of course. It really depends on his performance from here on out and if he has anything left at the end.

That would be a terrible deal when you can draft a RB in the third that can help in all 3 facets of the game is younger more explosive and cheaper

That's $10 million a year for what would likely be a 1,100 to 1,300 yard rusher who is a tank. I don't think that's a bad investment.

You think you're going to find a 250 pb horse who can step in like this in the 3rd round? The only reason the Titans let him go is because they have a bigger horse.

That's never played a full season and has had injury issues. And was considering retiring before this season.

Who says we need a 250 pound RB? They let him go because he’s a JAG and easily replaceable 

[SmokinwithWilly]

In order to get paid more than an average running back, you need to be able to do more in an offense built around using all a RB talents like CMC in SF. We don't have that here. Would need to see some massive upgrades at the OC position to consider paying him more than JAG salary. I'd have no issue giving him a 3 year contract for 3-4m per if he was used like CMC, Ekeler, Saquan, or others in the passing game, but he's not. Alexander Mattison is someone I would rather target if we were going to spend money on a RB, and even then it would be 2 or 3 year at 2.5-3.

keep him if possible. no low ball disrespect offer  but let him test market. 2-3 years market value and add a later round RB rookie to fill the gaps if he gets injured.  is Blackshear around for a bit or is a 1 year rental? if so he is another guy to offer a deal but not crazy money. going into next season with Chubba, Foreman and Blackshear with a young guy with a chip on his shoulder for not being drafted earlier would be the way to go.  we really can't afford to use a high pick on RB with all the other needs.  

[45catfan]

Re-sign? Yes.  Long-term? NO!

[PantherPhann89]

If Foreman would accept a moderate pay for 1 - 3yrs, the Yes. If rather keep him than release him and sign a rookie as his replacement. For me, I already know that Foreman is dependable, reliable and a team player...

[Brooklyn 3.0]

If we don't pay him what he wants, he'll go to someone who will pay. He's not going to take the vet minimum or a team friendly deal just to stay in Carolina.

Whereupon we will sign one of the literally hundreds of players capable of getting 4 to 5 ypc behind a solid offensive line and save our cap space to pay guys like Horn and Burns, who's skill sets are far rarer and matter far more to winning. Oh and that Oline. You pay your Oline if they're good and then you can plug in Kermit the Frog at RB and do just fine.

I like D'onta Freeman.

I liked CMC.

You don't pay running backs in the modern NFL if you want to win.
