Deangelo Williams and Chris Johnson

[ColtJax]

Both would be a MAJOR upgrade over what we have, and both we could get for what we would have paid Trent Richardson. Add another back in say the 3ed round and we're all set at RB. Williams would be a great back, he can catch out of the backfield as well..

[Patagonia Chris]

Yeah, maybe 5 years ago.

[aaron11]

pass on both

[Scully]

Passing on both. Would rather sign Ingram or spiller

We already had a Spiller.  His name is Ahmad Bradshaw.  Maybe we could sign both guys and have them each play half a season?  lol

[CanuckColt]

No thanks and no thanks.

[COLTS449]

Signing either one would be a really dumb move on Grigson's part. I mean really dumb.

[ReMeDy]

Both would be an upgrade to Trent Richardson, but that's about it.

[crazycolt1]

Pass. Johnson got paid his money then laid down. I don't see any reason to even waist time even looking at them.

[HtownColt]

Lol

[Clem-Dog]

Neither. Both are shells of their former selves.

[NewEra]

Give me d&o lines or give me death!!

[TKnight24]

I'll take both with a upgrade to the offensive line. No matter who we bring in, the offensive line has to be fixed. Not even the great Barry Sanders could run behind this line

[Deano1818]

Deangelo would be fine in a rotation, with an upgraded line ....... At the right price

[Valpo2004]

Don't what Chris Johnson, he's a headache.  Williams I'm fine with on a short term fix.

 

But honestly if we're just looking for someone who's better then Trent then there is a lot of guys out there.  

[pgt_rob]

There's not really any FA running backs that I'm excited about. So... I feel we will get let down unless we pop a 1st in the draft for Melvin Gordon, Gurley, or Coleman.

[ProblChld32]

Id prefer Deangelo over CJ once 2K . 

[colts_100nascar17fan]

Spiller,Johnson and Williams all suck bad and 2 of them have injury pasts. Plus unless you fix the o - line no rb will ever be good here.

[GGW4Micheal]

Both are passed their prime. Pass on both!

[Warhorse]

[antipatriot]

Nah I have always liked Williams but both of them are not what they used to be and will only decline.

You guys keep saying this ,but if the great ahmad bradshaw can run behind this line, then I imagine barry could scrape out a few yards also. Bradshaw did it two yrs in a row before getting injured. It's been right there in front of everyones eyes to see but few recognize this. The line has improved, it's not great by any means but a great back can run behind it. Good backs look for holes,  great backs look for a crease.If you want to fix the run, you can try to get five good linemen to grow together and gel, ala Dallas,  or you can get a decent line together and get a special back. There are a few special ones in this draft. If we get one of them our offense will soar, thats all we're missing on offense. Your not gonna get that guy in the third round or later as many posters keep spouting off about! These type runners in the top of this  draft are rare to come by. We should grab one and not look back. Just because Trent didn't work out doesn't mean it wasn't the right move, right move wrong player, lets get it right this time!

We can always count on a new thread every time some team cuts an overpriced, overrated over-the-hill player.  Some day I expect to see:

OP: Team X just cut the back-up long snapper's grandma who cooks the hot dogs at the concession stand!

Response: OMG! We need her! We could sign her to a three year deal and she'd only be a $9MM cap hit...and she'd be an upgrade over Trent Richardson!
