Not really sure what the point was of even bringing him in?

Great we lose a safety and now RB. Well it's been a fun season, very short but fun nonetheless.  I guess we should start looking forward to the draft.

He was going to be riding the bench on a losing team.

Im sure that was a factor.

Disaster

I mean, healthy? I'd rather have him as part of the RB committee than Miles Sanders.  But paychecks dictate roster spots. 

ideally, we go Chubba with a little Miles to start off the year

transition to Chubba with a little Brooks

then Brooks with a little Chubba down the stretch

I thought he recently called himself the best RB in the NFL if not injured or something like that.   I like what we have at RB, but I imagine Brooks is going to be on IR for the first six games or so.

Sanders with a good OL is good.  Remember Philly?  They had a good OL and he was effective making moves on the second level.  he was not effective finding holes and improvising on the first level.

Seems like the new coach is all in on Sanders. Financially, I understand but from a football perspective oh wee wayne.

It will be interesting to see that group shake out. Methinks they are all on board the Brooks 2025 train.

Feel like Brooks and Sanders both have that finesse style, Chuba is the one that's gonna hit the hole head on as more of a power back/missile. Not really thinking about starting or not, probably more of a hot hand scenario between Chuba and whichever other guy is healthy/having a good day

He wasn't likely to make the team anyway and even if he did, he would barely play barring major injuries to the RB unit.

Every player, even those under 30 years old, has a multitude of aches and pains that they have to work with every day. And honestly, the grind of training camp and another long season ahead of you for a lot less pay than you've been used to, and maybe retirement doesn't look so bad. 

I hope he does well out there and finds a lot of happiness. Thanks for coming by and sharing a cup of coffee with us man. Good luck to ya!
