i love David Johnson and Edmonds has shown promise but if DJ goes down I think we’d be hurting. Duke Johnson has averaged almost 5 yards a carry and an excellent receiver averaging almost 10 yards a catch for the BROWNS! Offer the Browns a 6 th rounder. Same as the Bears got for Jordan Howard. He’s signed for 3 more years st about 1m per year. We’d have DJ1 and DJ2!

Nashville TN.
Agree and was thinking about this when seeing some decent backs signed in recent days. Edmonds not the answer in my opinion.

If he is an option as a 3rd RB on a cheap ass deal, sure. Otherwise, I dont see him being better than edmonds.

Look at last year. The Chargers, Chiefs and in essence the Steelers all lost the first and second running backs and really never missed a beat. Doubt we’ll do this because I’m sure Kiem is sold on the fact that Foster is headed for the hall of fame despite coming off injury.

If Jordan Howard netted a 6th then DJ should be a low 7th lol

He is much better than Edmonds. Just not cheap.

All I know about him is he is always touted as a fantasy sleeper but fails and im pretty sure hes been on several teams now? I know he was cleveland at one point.

He fails (in fantasy) because he has always been 2nd sting. He would be that here too, but definitely an upgrade to Edmonds.

Well , not really. Howard was very limited as a receiver. Was better last year but mainly on dumps not wheel routes.

Yes really. Overall production. Jordan Howard blows him away.

I think he would be a great cheap depth option

Perhaps because for a few years he was on a plodding running offense. I believe Howard was inactive some games last year because he simply was limited in Nagy’s offense.

Cant believe all they got was a 6th for Howard. RB's are just not that valuable in today's NFL, especially one's that cant catch.

Behind you
B. Sanders, Emmitt Smith nor TD could run behind the O line this team has.
Fix the O line - gotta draft great lineman in rounds 1-4...after that ...it's muck...and the Cardinals have a lot of muck up front

"The game is won in the trenches" - how many times have you heard that!!?!

The Cardinals go into every gun fight with a dull stick (re: Trenches).

The O line went backwards faster than NHL players do on defense

The D line went backwards almost as fast last season.

I've never seen an O line AND D line so bad on the same team in my life....watching the Cardinals went from sad to funny to watch.

Think Edmonds is gonna surprise a lot of people this season. I’m lowkey excited about his season more than anyone else’s.
