32EBoozer Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 He certainly did a number on us. That being said.... pass. Forte, Powell and Robinson are a solid trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 We haven't seen what Robinson can do yet..with that said we have seen what this guy can do so I say take a chance on him if it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 1 hour ago, drdetroit said: Has another month to lose weight How much weight he's carrying isn't the issue. It's that he let himself go and when told to get down to his playing weight at OTAs he hasn't. It's an attitude issue not a weight issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also who and at what position would it cost in depth. Um ... what? He's a second year player cut in the middle of camp; his contract is likely to be vet minimum, and he can be kept without taking a roster spot for the duration of the suspension. There are plenty of reasons not to sign Williams, but these two aren't among them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't understand the cap then. Signing him to a minimum salary deal wouldn't cost us any cap space at all (literally zero) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how long till he gets up to speed another 2 weeks at minimum? Also who you let go after 4 weeks to make room. As minimal as his cap number may be it is still a number so is it worth a maximum 10 weeks of value and production. In my opinion no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the top 51 players by salary count towards the cap, and since you have to have 53, if you didn't have one particular vet at minimum, you'd have another anyway.

rex-n-effect Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Pass. Our days of assembling a team by picking up trash from around the league is over. He'll miss a quarter of the season and who knows how long it will take him to learn the playbook and get in line with the other RBs. He got cut for being overweight and not showing the commitment to cut the necessary weight. Nothing about that sounds great except maybe we could pick him up on vet min--maybe. For what, exactly?
