Seriously running back is not a need - that’s not saying Cook is not a better back than anyone we have, but when you factor in the contract he will want that cap space can be better invested in other areas.

We picked Leno up late in the process, I think most of us believe we still need help on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the sale that's holding up some signings to shore up weak spots and not riveras stubbornness then we need to get it done before there's no meat left on the bones.

There is a reason why Payne's signing bonus is due in September. Michael Lombardi has openly advocated for Dalvin Cook to be here as he would give our offense juice (he thinks Robinson & Gibson are good backs, but Cook is an elite back). However, Lombardi has said that we really can't sign anyone for big bucks until the ownership situation is resolved (he pointed to the Payne signing bonus September due date as an example). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Dalvin wants closer to 10M than 5M, even if I thought we needed a RB I’d say no thanks and prefer to invest that money in the OL if possible. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny21 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 5 hours ago, Koolblue13 said: These guys like Eifer and Hudson just hang around the bottom of the roster with no real great talent in front of them and can't break through. I hear you, but to be fair to him, this is only his 2nd offseason with us, his 3rd in the league, and I believe he was an OLB in college. Not that I’m expecting anything from him of course, just saying it is/was always going to be an uphill battle for him. Sticking on a roster was the first step, now we’ll see if he can take the next step. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook is on the decline. So far I don't think he has lost much speed, but his broken tackles are significantly down and that may go to that lingering shoulder injury he has the past two seasons and for which he recently got surgery. RB's take a pounding, so its just risky to give big money to one who has taken a lot of hits, even one with the track record of Dalvin Cook. Lets say he will never break as many tackles as he did at his prime and then he loses just a little speed. All of a sudden you are looking at an average guy who is probably in the ball park of the guys we already have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather, giving an example of how we really can't do anything (for big bucks) until Harris becomes the new owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 The EB connection. He didn't really look like his old self and never really became a true COP to Chubb like Browns fans expected…but Chubb is possibly the best pure runner of the ball in the league so maybe that’s not surprising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I don't think he's too impressed with BRob would be my guess". That was my impression also from the various limited, possibly out of contexts snippets of their interactions in OT, I have kind of brushed it aside as being nothing but who knows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Skins Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 After what that young man went through last year I would be really upset if they cut him (BRob) without very good reasons. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that'll happen he was a 3rd round pick last year and he was productive, I'd say at worst he replaces Jonathan Williams but anything is possible. I'd also add that I'd be more upset if they kept him because of what he went through than if they cut him because they don't feel he'll contribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWinzit Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 BRobs running style invigorated the Commanders fans last year. Would be a Danny move to replace him... CRobs clips do the same as his running style. Maybe not thrilled with Gibson... Is it possible EB doesn't like the receiving and protection skills of the current group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillBill26 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I don't think interest in hunt is a knock on brob or AG, or a "Danny move". He would be a good addition to any RB rotation. If he is still available at this point in the offseason, it's fair to inquire how much his price has come down. Ideally, Brob and CR would be between the tackles, backfield type RB, hunt and AG would line up all over. They complement each other well, and each type of RB has a man ready to fill the spot once the inevitable injuries start to hit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the reports, Gibby has been doing a lot of pass catching, so maybe they view him more of a WR now. Sounds like they're happy with him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they're happy with him. They are apparently throwing a lot to Robinson, too. The one thing I like about it is they are kicking the tires. And I suspect but don't know that Bieniemy might have more of a sense of urgency about this season than Ron -- if so and the O line gets exposed in camp maybe he pushes a signing or two on that front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I agree with the others who feel that the RB room is far from our most glaring need of upgrade. Get us a starting grade tackle. It's actually easier to run the ball with the occasional open lane 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins 2021 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) If they sign Hunt they will probably trade Gibson. It sounds like they have looked to trade him before. Edited June 16 by Redskins 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
