If that was the case, then explain all the previous years they spent all of the salary cap cash. Like I said, it’s not related. And I doubt the relocation fee is an issue since it’s spread over 30 years now.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

Originally posted by Velo View PostI didn't realize (I just read it) that James Conner was unsigned a month into free agency and at that point he was taking whatever offer he could get when Ariz finally came through with a deal - 1.75 mil for one year. Conner is now second to Jonathon Taylor in rushing TDs with 12, and third in total TDs with 13, one behind No. 2 Austin Ekeler. I don't understand why Telesco and Staley would not have been interested in Conner. Kelley was a rookie bust, Jackson was an injury bust, and they weren't targeting an RB in the first two days of the draft. Conner had averaged 4.3 yds per carry with the Steelers. He didn't play much as a rookie, but in his final three years in Pitt he scored 22 TDs and was a Pro Bowler in his 2nd season. It seems to me he would have made a good compliment to Ekeler. It's true they are alike in that they both have a nose for the end zone - nothing wrong with that - but Conner is a different kind of back than Ekeler, at 6-1 and +230 lbs he is a load. He could have added a power dimension to the running attack that presents a different problem for defenses than Ekeler presents. With a balanced running game, it would take the pressure off of Herbert. I don't understand why Telesco/Staley would not be more aggressive to fix an area of the offense that has been lacking since Melvin Gordon's departure.
Granted there are some running backs in the draft I like as well but there are a few vets that may be out there that we could sign to a 1 or 2 year deal if we don't draft a RB early.

/Rip it from the playbook.
