Good ****ing God man. Am I the only one who saw how slow and godawful our RB room was last year without Pacheco? These guys were as fast as Derrick Nnadi with the ball in their hands.

Mitchell is a 1 year depth piece. He’s not gonna be starting. And by midseason he’ll likely be RB3 behind Pacheco and whoever this team drafts.

He’s a young explosive playmaker with elite speed that will likely get 10 or so snaps a game at most. And $3 million is an inflated 2024 $2 million. This was a good move.

This team badly needed speed. The offense was painfully slow and the SB more than exposed that.

Kareem Hunt was a ****ing godsend.

You want to suck ass again in the redzone and in short yardage for thr years prior? He saved our ass last year so many times. We better resign him. Absolutely.

We have Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. We aren't going to be a running offense. We just need to have a back that can do it on short yardage and goal. Thats it. Then a second fiddle Jerrick McKinnon type. Thats who we should be trying to find. And honestly Perine was pretty useful in that role. Our RBs were absolutely fine last year.

Kareem Hunt was ELITE AS FK last year in short yardage. You know, the times you are trying to win a football game.
