Not by much. Spotrac has his deal at $985K—the rookie minimum is $885K. Now that draft pick can be used at a more expensive position.

I think that option has run it's course.   I think that spot is best used for longshot with bigger potential.   We pretty much know him pretty well at this point.

Seems like we signed Dowdle to a 1 year rental to cover for JB (who I'm assuming we still believe in because Panthers).  I doubt we draft an RB this year unfortunately.

That would be epically stupid considering the options later in this draft. Blackshart shouldn't make most team's final rosters.

Why? It’s our least position of need. Unless there’s some 5th round beast out there

This is case we don't get a RB in the draft.  That's all.  Purely an insurance policy.

I think this means we don’t need to draft a running back.  Doesn’t means shouldn’t draft a RB.

1 kick return fumble. 1 punt return fumble. That’s strong. All returners cough the ball up.  I don’t think either were turnovers but I’m not sure. He plays smart. No stupid backpedal 15 yards bs.  He is an adequate RB3. Role player. Hoover-lite. He does his damn job. 

Teams need dudes like this. Glue guy.  I’m glad he’s back.  I’m sure he’ll have competition in TC.

Insurance. His contact appears to he 100% base. He can be cut and have zero cap hit.
