It's hard for me to think a RB who has shown signs of decline that is being released to avoid paying him 9 million is going to get paid much at all. [Reply]

Except bad teams will bite as they need anything to sell tickets despite it hurting them longterm. We used to be that kind of a franchise... Now we are the type that if he wants a cheap deal to chase a ring, come on board... [Reply]

Uh even most bad teams have a good RB...
About the only team I can see being a realistic fit for him that isn't us is Buffalo and that's because his brother is there and they are kinda eh at RB. [Reply]

I was actually just about to post this. Buffalo seems the most likely landing spot [Reply]

My point was some bad team will sign him for more than he's worth... If he wants what he is really worth to chase a ring, great. Dalvin Cook is still a name that will sell if someone has cap space. Won't be surprised if the Bears are a taker and over pay. D'onta Foreman and the Texas rookie aren't the same as a Cook name wise, especially after losing Montgomery. [Reply]

Ticket sales aren’t what pay for these clubs [Reply]

Ok, sub in fan enthusiasm in addition to ticket sales, as that is what pays for these clubs as well as keeping the current coach and GM employed... They chase vets for tickets sales/enthusiasm and to try to keep their jobs. Also, ticket, parking, concessions and merch sales play a much bigger part than you think and are the backbone of operating revenue. [Reply]
