I'd have to imagine so, especially with the roster blow up, can't see us replacing 2 spots in FA and going in with just Portis. I'm wondering who we're looking at in FA aside from the Sproles rumors.

Well seems like rumors have floated about Brian Westbrook, Willie Parker, LaDanian Tomlinson, and Thomas Jones. My understanding is that none of them are serious though. I mean I think what some of these guys are going for and what we're offering are pretty far apart. So something would have to give.

I have heard there's a running back who will probably be cut soon that we could be interested in. I'm still trying to figure out who that is.

Have heard Ryan Torain also

Yeah those seem to be the popular throw around names, well other than Torain, seem mostly unsubstantiated, for the time at least though, other than the visit we have coming from Parker.

Interested in hearing who the soon cut RB is once you find out.
