RB Conner re-signs with Cards

[slanidrac16]

Dont expect anymore additions at RB. Ward resigned, Eno still under contract and now Conner.

I don't like the contract number much, but it's close to what I expected. Better than Chase at $6 million because Conner is a touchdown maker.

I expect a later round rb
Someone with Edmonds skillset, maybe a bit tougher

Yes but not another free agent.

And if one doesn't fall to them in the draft there will be 10 free agents on the open market on cheap deals

It's a little bit rich. I thought $6m max. But there was other interest and it's hardly worth arguing over a mil.

We kept a RB who accounted for 18 TDs, not sure we get that from any of the RBs on the market. Without Conner the Cards likely only win 8 games last season, maybe less.

I am sure a similar argument was made last year before we signed Conner...it is less about the player and more about how much it costs to replace the role.

Not complaining. Our attention will now go somewhere else.

Seems worth $7m to me

3 years=$21 million, $13.5 million guaranteed incentives to $25.5 million. Good contract.

that's better than I feared.

 

[DVontel]

Meh.

Preferred Chase by a lot.

Yeah, if he can actually produce like that for the next 3 years - which history of RB's say is unlikely.

On one hand I'm fully in the "Decent running backs are 10 a penny and you should pick up cheap deals"

On the other I understand why they brought back someone that everyone likes and was a real tone setter on offense. Got to admit Conner added some dog to this offense that is lacking pretty much everywhere else on that side of the ball.

$15m cash is in the first 2 years so it's really only a 2 year deal, but I imagine it's backloaded so there will be some dead cap in that 3rd year.

Maybe add Rachaad White in the draft.

Maybe add Rachaad White in the draft.

I could live with this.

Meh.

sure as a 2nd option. I think both these dudes are solid platoon guys.. Interested to see who RB2 is this year..

Nice keep. All he does is produce yrds and TDs.

 

[AZman5103]

I'm fine with this. Need to add a RB in the 5th round for depth. Eno should be able to do some of what Chase did

 

[Chopper0080]

Basically, if there is one position I am ok leaving FA with a huge ? at, it is RB. But that is a philosophy thing.

I like Conner. I like his fit in the offense. I am just aware that in a salary cap league not all positions/roles/contracts are created equal.

 

[BritCard]

Another thing you need to bear in mind is that extensions don't count towards the comp pick formula. If we let Conner walk and signed another RB for $5m+ them that guy does.

It's a small thing but not nothing.

are we getting a comp from edmunds in the case?

Agreed. I'm the same way. Even if we didn't sign anyone in FA or draft anyone there would still be some guys that were draft casualties or post June 1st etc

But also I understand why they wanted Conner back. I hope they beef up the O line so it's not another 3.7 YPC season.
