If we were to keep only 3 running backs, I'd honestly rather just cut Thompson. You know he's not going to be healthy for an entire season and doesn't bring that much value as a home run/receiving threat on 3rd down. I think Kelley and/or Brown can more than fill his role adequately, and do so while having a much better chance of staying healthy for all 16 games.
