Um, based just on who is actually on the roster, Clyde is about 99% certain to play at least some snaps in 2023. It's literally Pacheco, Jerrick and then CEH. [Reply]

Minnesota holding his rights only to cut him after June first (after teams don’t have cap space and positional need that creates a market for a player like Cook) would be a terrible look and something agents don’t forget.
If it was March, I would tend to agree with your take. But we are a week and a half away from June. Not a huge deal to wait a few days at this point. [Reply]

I would argue that it is Pacheco, CEH, McKinnon, Perine, Prince. We need to save McKinnon for the stretch and playoffs. [Reply]

Okay, and I wouldn't necessarily argue otherwise, if we were playing in a bubble, or on Madden. However, it may turn out that we have no choice other than to play McKinnon at RB2 simply because of his multiple skillsets and the size of his catch radius. He's just a bigger target than Clyde is.
Or, what if CEH gets hurt again early in the season? McKinnon thus far as proven to be more available than CEH. So that experiment may not last very long. [Reply]

Watch how the next few years play out for them in free agency. [Reply]

that is a good point about stealing plays from other players. How many times have we seen gaping holes but since he's slower than most offensive lineman he just cannot get to those holes where if any other RB was in it would be a 15+ yard gain instead of his 1 yard loss to 1 yard gain. [Reply]
