Santos and Johnson. Mooney if we can get him for less than 5 a year on a 3 year deal. Nobody else worth even thinking about.
You wouldnt renew with Foreman i think he has been pretty solid
He has been, it’s not a knock on him. He’s on a very cheap deal, and in spite of his play I wouldn’t want to pay what should be our 3rd back more than the vet minimum if he’s coming back. Better to use our copious draft capital on a younger guy with growth potential who we can control on a cheap contract for a few years. I’m a proponent of drafting a rb every year, if you can. Talented backs are too plentiful in the later rounds to not keep taking shots.
I also think Herbert is massively underrated, so I’d rather extend him next season, if we’re going to be paying a back more than $4M a year.
Herbert is too weak as a pass catcher and run blocker to be valued anything higher than a 2nd string RB. He's just not a feature back, doesn't bring enough to the table. He'll thrive anywhere there's RBBC in the backfield, but I wouldn't extend him beyond $4M/AAV
