You know, Derrick Ward is an UFA.

You figure, NY will likely not be able to keep Ward and Bradshaw. Jacobs is locked so he's in for sure. With the way Bradshaw has played of late and the fact that Ward is coming off an injury, Ward just might be available to sign.

Prior to getting injured, Ward was having a pretty dang good year. 602 Yds, 125 Carries, 4.8 YPC, 3 Rushing TDs, 179 Rec. Yds, 26 REC, 6.9 YPR, 1 REC TD.

i think Dallas needs a veteran back as a third guy.

i am not real sure i want warrick dunn as the guy.

I would like us to sign a veteran who has played for one of our coaches though and dunn has played for peete I believe in tampa.

I am curious how the running back situation will unfold in oakland, guys that have played for peete recently.

I think we need a vet and another rookie at that position to assist barber.



Its funny... I was thinking the opposite.... on the cheap I would take Dunn as the 3rd RB and dump TT

That oline sure can run block. I hope Houck makes it so ours can too. Sparanos likes have been lights out pass protecting but run game has been sporadic.

I agree with you. That Giants line does a good job of creating space in the run game.

I have always liked Dunn but he's far to old. Maybe if he came in for a very cheap price and could be a vet behind Barber to go with some young, fresh legs from the draft. But I really don't see Dunn here.
