He was a backup in Denver for 2 years where he never touched the ball over 70 times a season. He was traded to the Browns in his third year where the Browns gave him a chance and he played well for 1 year. 1 good year and then he holds out.

I mean his 4 years at Arkansas as a fullback/blocking back, plus his 3 years as a minimum salary guy.

He's done yeoman's work for 7 years, took a hell of a lot of hits and has seen many a RB simply fall apart after taking that kind of physical pounding. He wanted to get paid before he hit the wall and I think he ultimately scared himself into getting the hell off the field.

As it turns out, it was a pretty lousy financial decision. But oddly enough, had he simply held out altogether, he'd have probably gotten a nice contract this offseason.

I'm just not willing to call a guy that was a D-1 fullback for 4 years and 7th round cap fodder that turned himself into a 1,000 yard power back a soft bitch.
