    We need a passing AND a running offense. Without a true running threat, Vince is going to be our best RB trying to avoid continual blitzing. I do not believe LenDale can carry the load as our #1 RB. We need a vet in front of LenDale. If not Henry, then someone else. If we start 07 with LenDale #1 and he doesn't pan out, we better have a good #2 sitting on the bench.
    We just missed the playoffs in 06. If we don't establish a solid running game to go with Vinces arm, we're going to just miss the playoffs this year too.

    We all know we need a running threat too, but my question, which is the Front Office's main concern, and what everybody here should focus on...Is T-Hen worth 8 1/2 Mill???, me no think so.

    For that type of Bread, you roll the dice on a FA (for less of course), and the draft, plus you have a starting back already in LW.

    The only reason we even signed him was b/c he came cheap (I believe 3 mil or slightly less, this past season), any more than that I don't believe he ever becomes a Titan.

    Corey Dillon might help out as a vet backup..
    13TDs in 06, 812 yards with a 4.1yd/avg, and that was while he was sharing the load with Marony. I believe he's a much better backup than most other Vets.

    If we can't reach a deal with Travis, we might as well sign this guy to mentor Lendale.
    I doubt he'll retire.

    Sure I would hate to see Henry go but seriously, he is an average NFL RB. Paying a premium $ for such is absurd especially with all the help we need on defense. LenDale will perform just as good if not better the Travis. The larger concern is our depth at RB after we flush Travis. Any ideas?

    I'm for keeping Henry. I'm not sure how it will shake out with the eventual/potential hand-off (no pun intended) to Lendale, but any decent team has two backs these days. Henry can carry the load for another year or so...

    I don't get the LenBuddha thing.
     
  9. Well, his bonus presumably comes due VERY soon, so he'll either have a new contract or none at all in a matter of days.

    Isn't the deadline Saturday 12:00am? Or is it 3:00pm Friday? I have also heard no news on Wade and Bennett. I know that Bennett was looking towards free agency. Who else is fixing to hit free agency?... besides Brown...
