In regards to Lindsay. bring em in. Somethings up though, he was doing very well in denver and they cut bait, not even as a backup. He had no real free agency interest, again for a guy that was doing well. Not sure what the story is, or if he got hurt and just never came back the same.
As for Lindsey something has to be up? He got the RFA tender from the Broncos, then they recinded it and the only deal he got in the offseason was from the Texans for essentially nothing. Then used sparingly, had no takers in a deadline deal and then cut him loose.
Even with all that went on I still think he is worth the gamble over giving a team with a better record in the AFC an opportunity.
I'm with SP with the red flags. I know the Texans had a horse stable of decent talent (David Johnson, Phillip Lindsay, Mark Ingram, Rex Burkhead, Royce Freeman), but they already dealt away Ingram so cutting Lindsay a few weeks after that is somewhat odd. DJ & Burkhead look to be their best options now, and its a whole lot LESS dynamic without Lindsay.
If there aren't any red flags then Lindsay would be a fantastic get. I think he would push any one of these guys off the roster: Snell, McFarland, or Ballage. I'd hope they kick Snell to the curb, but we know thats doubtful. He's the Mason Rudolph of backup RBs, both in that he isn't a very capable backup and the coaches oddly love him.
