If so, we just got more cost controlled years on a rookie contract with him. And, we likely don't draft him if we still had Hunt. Williams performed well in his stead as well. As good as he was, his violence along with our depth at RB, made him expendable.

Deal is though, Thompson is a different type of back than Hunt. Thompson is a little guy. Not sure he's gonna be anywhere near as durable as Hunt. Not sure you can pound the ball with him, like you could with Hunt. Hunt had an exceptional skill set for many situations. Cant believe the snap decision to release him to appease the SJ crowd, errr I mean "because he lied" to the Chiefs.
