Probably. RBs in today’s market are having a hard time with how devalued RBs have become, seems like it (devalued ) has accelerated.

Every non-signing hurts their market. No urgency from teams.

There will be. This is the strangest year for RBs I've ever seen.

idk... problem is there are the good teams, and then there are the bad teams... I don't see the bad teams, who are content to being bad, paying for these RBs...

I mean, the only reason people thing the colts will get one of the free agent RBs is because they may trade Taylor... its ok to downgrade when your front office is tanking!!!..

but really none of the good teams either need or can afford a big contract RB...

Jonathan Taylor and more are screwed

My bet is that he (or his agent) thought both of those teams were backed into a corner because of Kamara's suspension and Taylor's holdout and he thought he could leverage them for a lot more money and they would cave. And that worked out really well for him in both cases.

To a point...but the closer these teams get to real games, and not having reliable producers, reliable last line of defenses for thier 20-45 million dollar QB's, the more urgent they'll be, and the more loose those purse strings will become. RB's playing this smart by not settling for the pittitances they're being offered. Long as they hold together they'll get what they deserve, or at least closer to it.

These RBs want to miss camp too. Save their bodies for the season.

Kareem making the rounds.

Free agent RB Kareem Hunt is visiting the Vikings.

Hunt visited with the Saints earlier this week and was expected to sign. However, the Colts called him up as he was headed to New Orleans to schedule a visit of their own. He left both cities without a contract and now has another suitor in the Vikings. Multiple beat reporters have noted that the backups in Minnesota have left a lot to be desired and Kene Nwangwu is currently sidelined with an injury. Should Hunt join the mix in Minnesota, he would be a good bet to earn the No. 2 role behind Alexander Mattison.

Hunt would leave Mattison where he’s comfortable being … as the no. 2.

As a Lions fan, I hate this.

But as a Hunt owner…

I'd agree...very realistic that Hunt would be the starter if he ends up there

This is actually a great fit for him. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it happens.

 

[eaglesnut]

Fournette is better.

He needs to be hitting all these same spots.

 

[averagejoe]

Hunt barely had 150 fantasy points last year. I think this is a classic case of he thinks he's better than he is. Not on my radar.

150 points for a RB on the Browns not named Chubb last year? Impressive in my book. A lesser back wouldn't have seen the field at all

 

[SmokingMonkey]

At the rate he was going last year, Hunt would've needed to play 3 more games to even reach 150pts
