Could be very interesting lots of new blood, lets look at it team by team

The bolds are teams i see as getting a new lead back or 50/50 back. Obv some starters can switch teams

Philly-Mccoy will still be there
Dallas- Murray is in there
Giants- Jennings sticks here
Washington-Morris will be back

OK so this division is pretty solid pending injuries

Green bay-lacy stays
Detroit- Hmmm.....bell has underwhelmed, bush is done......new blood coming i think
Minny-Mckinnon doesnt look like they trust him, and peterson is probably gone
Chicago-one year left for forte

Atlanta-do they even have a rb......
New orleans- rhobinson wasnt the answer, ingrams contract is up, lord only knows here
Carolina- seriously they have to get someone
Tampa-It doesnt appear they have anyone they like.....

Arizona- ellington hurt, and they clearly want a compliment back
Seattle-Lynch's last year?
San Fran-Gore is done
St louis- i guess tre mason sticks here

New england-im sure they wont bring in anyone new
Miami-miller was never their choice.
Buffalo- bryce brown?> i dunno
Jets-they are good here with ivory

Cincy-2 good backs
pitt-bell is a beast
Baltimore-no one thinks forsett is the answer
Cleveland- they got 2 young guns

Indy-I could see a new back coming here
Houston-think they are ok burning out foster then riding blue
Tenn- did they get what they wanted in sankey, i say no
Jax- clearly they have no good backs


Denver- they are ok with anything
Sandiego-is mathews done?
KC -set
Oakland- 2 aging backs and back they clearly didnt trust


to me thats 17 teams that need a new lead back.........even if you disagree on some this should be a year with HUGE turnover at a rough position......

As far as new blood goes, I think Tre Mason, Latavius Murray and Jerick McKinnon are locks.

Moving around? I still think AP ends up a Cowboy. Sankey gets another shot. And...

...yikes. Who knows what some of these teams are gonna do?

I doubt we see that much turnover over. Just from the fact of supply vs possible demand.

I can't see how the Lions can turn away from Bell and Bush. We should see Tate and McKinnon sharing touches for the Vikings. The Falcons have Freeman who I want to see given a legit shot. Hopefully he doesn't go the way of Quizz with history repeating itself in Atlanta. Robinson, Thomas and Cadet should take up all the Saints touches if Ingram moves on. Same situation with the Bucs. They have tons of guys who could get the job done. While using a early pick just last year on Sims.

Baltimore who knows but Forsett has shown really well this year. I like Taliaferro long term but Forsett has earned it as far as i'm concerned. Can't see the Titans moving on from Sankey after one season. They are building up that team no reason to throw him under the bus at this point. Can't see the Chargers investing anything with Oliver, Mathews and Woodhead back from injury. No way that I see a 4th back in Indy with Bradshaw, Richardson and Boom playing so well at this point.

The teams I see with new RB's.. Panthers, Bills, Jaguars, Jets and Raiders.

Yeah, I didn't mean that 14 teams will all have turnover. I pretty much agree with what Shady has said about the Chargers, Colts and Ravens. I also like Taliaferro long term, but Forsett has surely earned the job...or at least the right to be the guy to beat out. I think Hyde takes over in SF and Sims is the fav in Tampa. Seattle's gonna be interesting.

Don't forget. . As much as last year's draft was WR heavy. . Next year's could be just as star studed at RB..Gurly, Gordon, Yeldon, Abdullah, Coleman...all currently projected in the 1st 2 rounds. A lot of those question marks could be filled with these guys.

Gurley and Gordon sure look like NFL ready backs to me.

The depth charts give you a glimpse. But FF finds a way to mess that up too.

Take Denver. It was Ball's job to lose. He lost it. Hillman was next but was bitten by injuries. CJ Anderson takes over and holds onto the job.

Spiller gives enough in 2012 to tease owners he's the real deal. Nope.

Murray would be a good back if he can stay healthy. Never played a complete season. Until this year.

And let's not forget the coaches. Never want to tip their hand...

Ridley's the starter. No, Vereen. No, Gray. Unless he oversleeps, then watch Blount.

Ingram's our starter. Frenchy still has some life. Robinson could get touches if he wasn't hurt. Or cold pass block.

Stacy, Cunningham, Mason. I think I have their album.
