Re-signing Pollard or a top draft pick

[Beaker42]

If Robinson is available at 26, you take him. My pick would be Robinson, the center from Minnesota, or the linebacker from Arkansas.

Give me the kid from Arkansas.

How much sense does it actually make to cut Zeke? I realize he is not living up to his contract but cutting him is a $12 million cap hit.

Is it better to let Pollard walk, get the comp pick for him, draft a running back, and hope one more of Zeke in a new offense revives him?

I’d hate to give Pollard big money and still have to pay Zeke not to play.

It leaves a lot of dead money but less than if you keep him
But over the following couple years it clears a ton of money

I’d cut zeke
Sign pollard
Draft a RB in mid rounds if there’s a guy there
The NFL is loaded with solid RB taken in mid rounds
My main reason for keeping pollard is simply his playmaking ability. There are only a very few real playmakers at RB who can be a threat running or catching the ball

Which would you prefer?

I believe this roster needs newer, younger talent

I would rather draft Bijan than re-sign pollard

Franchise Pollard.

Draft a RB in between rounds 2 and 4.

If they don't retain Pollard or sign an equivalent free agent, then they're basically forcing the 1st round pick to be a RB.
- They can't gamble the entire season on a rookie mid round RB being the starter.
