Most running backs expire when they hit 30 unless they wear a Redskin uniform. Without Googling isn't the Diesel the oldest running back to rush for 1,000 yards?

Curiously the Hawks also released Smith so now have only Wilson in the QB room. Can't see that lasting no matter how healthy he stays. Wonder if we can trade McCoy to them 😂

Pats also let Thomas go. Wonder if hes worth bringing in for a look? Unless he's not fully recovered from his AH, and he did play this week, I'd at least take a look.

The Seahawks released Geno Smith while setting their initial 53-man roster, which leaves Russell Wilson as their only quarterback for now. This could be some roster maneuvering related to the Jadeveon Clowney trade, with Seattle needing a roster spot until it becomes official. They're giving up two players for one in that trade, but because it's not yet official, Barkevious Mingo and Jacob Martin are still on Seattle's roster and Clowney is not. Thus, the Seahawks will have an opening for Smith -- or perhaps another quarterback -- once the trade goes through. Smith is a vested veteran and thus isn't subject to being claimed off waivers. He seemed to win the backup job once Seattle waived Paxton Lynch. Said Pete Carroll of Smith Thursday night: "He looks in control of the offense. He gets it. He really understands it. So that's a real positive."

Also it appears the Patriots are doing the same thing with Demaryius Thomas. Cutting him is a temp move, they're going to bring him back.
