    Maybe the Colts but not the Browns...they just cut a guy who was complaining about carries/etc they won't bring another one in...and if Blount had issues being a #2 RB...wait and see how he likes being a #3 in Clev

    As far as those mentioning maybe another team has a guy on their PS who could come in...I looked over PS lists...and here are the only guys I even recognized from any team..

    Kenjon Barner - Philly
    Ryan Williams - Dallas
    Lache Seastrunk - TN
    Daryl Richardson - NYJ

    Thats about it...there could be a few others I missed but yeah...probably better guys on the street.

    I know this is really out in left field, but if all they really need is a guy on short yardage situations, why not get someone who's kind of built for it. Like Vonta Leach. Not only that, he's a darn good blocker.

    While that was one of the big things that was said about Blount...they also need someone who can step in and carry the load if Bell goes down at all (*knock on wood*). A guy like Leach is not that guy.

    They don't really need that, about half of Bells yards came after contact, he's always been good that way, going back to college. All they need is someone to spell him once in a while.

    Someone pick up the red phone and see if Red zone Redman can get his neck fused in a week and be ready to roll.

    Rumors are that #92 has been seen lining up in the backfield during our goal line O drills - only problem is that BB and MT don't know anything about it. :rolleyes:

    This. Nobody was beating down his door during free agency. Only way he gets a call is if someone needs a starter and he's not exactly starter material, would have to be a really desperate team.

    He should have known, who knows what was promised by the Front Office to him when he was brought in to get him to sign though... he may have been under the impression he would be a part of a 1a 1b RB system.

    But honestly he has been bouncing around teams for a reason. Even after he has had some pretty good seasons.He is definitely a cancer.

    They had no choice. Blount got mad as Bell was tearing up the Titans D and he wanted some of the action. However, you can't walk off the field when the game is being played? Blount will find a team quickly , and I'm really worried because Archer falls over in a strong wind. Tate is out here but I'm betting there is a reason why they cut him today that won't be told until later this week. Gotta find a RB quick.

    Please, please let us sign this guy.

    I have no idea who he is, but his name is phenomenal.

    On the move itself to let Blount go: I'm presuming there was probably a few cautions and warnings previously that we didn't know about. Doubt they would have let him go this quickly if it wasn't already on the coaches minds.
