    Once Chris Brown is gone we will need to pick up a good running back with fresh legs and a low payroll. I have a few here, tell me what you think.

    LaBrandon Toefield-Probably not someone that comes to mind when you thing of 2008 UFA's but a promising back. Would be a great compliment for LenDale. He adds speed, strength, and fresh legs. He runs a 4.52 40 yard dash and is 5'11 and weighs 232lbs. Give this guy a couple million up front pay him minimum and see what happens.

    Justin Fargas-This guy proved what he is capable of with a sorry Raiders OL. His number speaks for themselves. Will not re-sign with Raiders.

    Derrick Ward-My last guy, he kinda made a name for himself putting up pretty good numbers when his number was called. But definetly out in NY due to Bradshaws production.

    Obviously everyone will sit there and point at Turner, but realistically he will not be wearing two tone blue come September. And let me go ahead and take away your arguement that Chris Henry is the second coming of Jesus Christ, because he isn't. So-so special teamer, but not much more beyond that. Let me know what you guys think?

    fargas is the only one who would add something that we don't have on offense right now, speed.

    they're all pretty injury prone though.

    Both Ward and Toefield have been hurt once, fractured tibula and torn ACL. Chris "The Definition of Injury Prone" Brown is our number two back right now. So don't talk to me about injury prone. Your right about speed, Ward and Toefield are 4.5 guys along with LenDale, however these guys are cheap backs that can produce if given opportunity. Agree? All of you LenDale fans don't want Fargas to come here because he will take LenDales spot. I agree Fargas would probably be the best fit, but you gotta figure that more people will be looking for an upgrade at RB.

    Fargas will get a lot of attention on the FA market. He's probably the 2nd best back on the market and whoever loses the MT sweepstakes will go hard for him. Aaron Stecker and Tatum, Bell would be very good fits and would probably come cheap.

    I could care less about stecker, now Bell wouldn't be bad

    Turner and Fargas are my top 2. If Titans sign neither then draft one in the 3rd or 4th.

    I like Turner and Fargas. Wish Chris Henry could see.

    mmm no.

    as far as nagging injuries go, toefield is just as bad as brown.

    ward was put on IR his first year in the league before the season started and is now on IR again.

    Realistically - We have the most cap room in the league.
