Potential FA RBs

Stephen Jones: I wouldn't say we're set at RB. We like our 3 RBs a lot. "If we saw a young RB to add to the mix, we'd certainly look at it."

This is very telling. I have been saying for quite some time....this team is looking for a young vet to add to the mix. If a Ball/CM/West/Crowell do get dropped I think the boys swoop in pretty quick.

Jones has said many times that they will be looking at HBs. He never really gave much details, but its good to hear he wants young backs

Roll on down the road. We want to go younger that is why I'm glad SNB posted that Stephen quote.

Jackson to me is a mid season injury replacement

Fred will end up in New England.

Monte Ball looks to be out there maybe a 6,7 rounder could do it.

I would take him over Dunbar !

Him or if Christian Michaels gets let go.

That would be a waste of a draft pick. Just claim him after he clears waivers.

Ball would be a solid backup, saw him play in college.

This is purely speculative and will give us a thread to throw down some names. This is a thread to throw out some names that currently do not have any ties to the cowboys. With a gust of wind taking out two of the RBs during OTAs someone needs to keep a watch....might as well be me... Yesterday reading through the wire I read this:

ESPN Broncos reporter Jeff Legwold expects Ronnie Hillman to open training camp on the roster bubble.
Legwold goes so far as to predict Hillman will indeed be cut, leaving C.J. Anderson, Montee Ball, and Juwan Thompson as Denver's top-three backs. Still only 23 years old -- he turns 24 in September -- Hillman reportedly struggled to pick up Gary Kubiak's zone-blocking system at spring practices. He has a near-minimum salary and would generate a lot of interest on waivers. Jul 24 - 1:54 PM

Montee Ball

At one time, the strategy was to sign guys after the first game so their contracts weren't guaranteed. Is this still the case? If it is, that may be the hold up on guys getting offers.

Montee Ball

I agree to a certain extent with the exception of a young bellcow being let go. By Saturday us fans will know if the boys have had their eye on someone.

Montee Ball

Is this the original thread!

I think it depends on how many years they have played.

Hopefully we will know something by Sat, when the big cuts come !

I guess Monte is still on a team. Did not get cut ?
