Free Agent Running Backs

AUTHOR: Scott Tunstall | IN: Eagles | COMMENTS: 2 Comments |

Other than Jacobs and Ward, would you want any of these guys playing for the Eagles?

J.J. Arrington, Arizona Cardinals
Jesse Chatman, New York Jets
Heath Evans, New England Patriots
Brandon Jacobs, New York Giants
Rudi Johnson, Detroit Lions
LaMont Jordan, New England Patriots
Maurice Morris, Seattle Seahawks
Dominic Rhodes, Indianapolis Colts
Darren Sproles, San Diego Chargers
Aaron Stecker, New Orleans Saints
Derrick Ward, New York Giants
Ricky Williams, Miami Dolphins

Jacobs will likely remain with the Giants. Ward is heading for free agent riches; probably someplace like Cincinnati, Denver or Kansas City. Same for Sproles. Would the Birds be interested? I doubt it. They will address the running back position, but it will be in April. The 2009 RB class is deep and talented.

    What about Leonard Weaver?  He’s one of the best blocking FB’s in the league and is only 26.

    I’m not sold on Weaver as a blocker. Seahawks’ running game stunk the last two seasons. I do like Weaver as a short-yardage runner and a receiver. Reminds me a little of Mike Alstott.
