Not really, why would they bring a 5th back in? Moss isn't getting it done and has lost a step. Betts has a goal line fumble problem but it hasn't been a problem this season yet. Why do you need a 5th RB? The guy has killer speed, and the newbie WRs dropped some TDs. Maybe they are looking to increase WR speed. Crazier shit has been tried before. They could put him as flanker and do some end arounds once in awhile, etc. I am just brainstorming here. Sort of dumb to get rid of Betts or Rock at this point.

One could ask, "Why they would bring a 5th back in, just to turn him into a 6th wide receiver?"

True, I am just trying to think why on earth they would bring in a 5th RB unless they were going to try some crazy shit out. I don't see why it was such a dumb proposition considering everyone is asking why bring in a 5th RB. I see no reason why the current batch of RBs on our roster need to be padded with an additional man. I mean what has hurt us in the red zone the most, our RBs or WRs?

So you really think he's gonna get even one snap as a WR? No offense, but you're in la la land if you think we have any WR aspirations for him.

He did start as a WR in college before he was converted to RB. We have 5 receivers on the roster, I don't think there's room unless someone is traded.
