Jacquizz Rodgers - free agent running back

This is a guy who may come cheap, and could be a very good depth guy for the Gailey offense, as he's a dual threat (running/receiving).  I wouldn't mind carrying 3 backs, by resigning Powell, signing Rodgers, and drafting a "between the tackles" guy if they want to move on from Ivory who seems to be getting injuries at the wrong time always.

Rodgers is a small, shifty running back who caught 50+ balls in 2012 and 2013 down in Atlanta with Matt Ryan.  In 2014 his production tailed off on a bad team with only 23 catches and in 2015 he signed with the Bears but ended up in IR early in the season with a broken arm.  He could fill in for Powell so the offense doesn't shut down if he gets injured.  He also plays special teams.

We need a bellcow.  Powell is an effective backup, a totally ineffective starter.  I think that guy comes in the draft.  OL, LB, RB.  Probably in that order

Drafting positions in that order would mean Macc totally changes his draft philosophy .

He's a RB who's never averaged 4 per.  Is at 3.6 per for his career and never more than 360 yards.  He is a one trick pony and not really one of my 3 RBs, would ra her draft an all around back

I wouldn't take him as a #1 or #2, but as a #3 fallback he could be decent and also would contribute on special teams.

Is there really a Jacquizz Rodgers sign this beast thread only, what, 10 days into the off-season for us? Sheesh.

who's calling him a beast?  I'm calling him a #3 RB who can be a cheap dual-threat and play special teams.  His skill set is a fit for the Gailey system.  Just one potential target out of the pool of RB free agents who could make sense.

he will take best player, no doubt.  I would just rate the positions as q,w,3 all things being equal.  I think our OL need is the greatest, with the exception of QB.
