he seems to be a bit of a touchdown vulture judging from his highlights. almost all of his TDs are from within the 5 and there were only a handful of big runs in the open field.

As a swift fantasy owner, I would def agree haha

They guy averaged 4.1/carry - fewer big runs makes this more impressive.  The TD's are a nice bonus meaning tough at the GL, but he had 262 carries - that is a starter to pair with Chuba....love it.  For a decent price I take this all day.

What's with the hate for this guy? He had 3 more carries than Miles Sanders 200 less yards but 6 more scores. I'd be happy with adding either of them to our backfield.

My comments were 100% complimentary - no idea what you mean

Wasn't referring to you. Thought that was obvious but maybe could have worded it better. Again I'd be happy with either.

You directly quoted me lol - guess that was confusing

I'd rather have this guy!

And yes, I would pay him

I love it personally.  He's one of the best personalities in the league.  His teammates love the dude, tough hard-nosed runner. He was more than just the reliable short yardage back in a league top offense. 

Would be a fan of this.  

Regardless if it's him or Foreman, the draft tees up nicely for an all-around or pass catcher like Gibbs, Spears, Achane, McIntosh, Brown, Abanikanda.  I wouldn't say Charbonnet or Roschon Johnson are out but it's much more in favor of the all around, dual-threat, shiftier types.

Judging by these RB deals we've seen so far I really do wonder how much we could get Miles Sanders for. He's clearly the best of the bunch and will cost more but maybe he won't cost THAT much more.

He'd be a HUGE piece to have in place for our rookie QB.

Cause this is my contribution to the huddle these days...

If he will play for peanuts I say bring him in. We are looking under couch cushions and in our consoles for money to sign WR's at the moment.

I LOVE Williams' story and wouldn't be mad if he's our RB on a fair 2-3 yr deal. Foreman also has a pretty emotional backstory as well. 

I prefer Foreman, but hope we sign the cheaper/best value of Foreman, Williams, Sanders or Mattison. 

I think they will all produce similar numbers here with this OL, with Sanders & Mattison being younger.

If Foreman can do as well as he did last year at a reasonable price tag I would like to keep him. I understand you have to manage the cap, but when we can retain players who have performed well as a Panther I wish we could keep them. I know it is a business and sometimes we don’t know all the facts.

Per this tweet from a source who's personally connected with the RB in question, appears Panthers are part of the mix in aiming for Jamaal Williams of the Lions.

Unsure if this implies that Foreman is gone, or if it's just due dilligence, but interesting to note we're a part of this.

I'd be fine with both Foreman and Williams. With the RB market, we should be able to afford both.
