DAVIE — The Dolphins want to keep free agent running back Jesse Chatman, his agent said today.
Although the Dolphins are in a state of flux, they apparently want Chatman to remain part of what could be a loaded backfield. Already under contract are Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. Samkon Gado is a restricted free agent. "We've only had the most basic of discussions, but I can say they have been positive discussions," said Chatman's agent, Brett Tessler.

That was before Mueller was gone with Ireland in I doubt that he will be back unless Ricky is a gonner.
-
Brett Tessler is his agent?
I remember the guy had a thread of his own for questions and stuff in Finheaven. Anyway, I'm not sure what to think about this, I really like Chatman but I would also like to see Ricky back, I'm not really sure we'll keep both. -
I think Lorenzo Booker is just as good, if not better than Chatman....not a big loss if he decides to go elsewhere.

i wouldnt mind having Chatman backup Ronnie.

I wouldnt mind having Chatman back as a backup. He's proven himself to be a more than capable one.

I'd rather like to see L. Booker get more playing time. He was great in the limited time we saw him. He's a little back, but he sure as hell knows how to make up for it with his elusiveness.

I like Chatman and I think he was one of the few bright spots of this horrible season we had to endure. I thought he played better then Booker too. I would keep him over Booker if I had a choice.

Chatman and Booker are to totally different runners. I don't think Booker could be an every down back yet, but he sure is electric when he touches the ball and he can catch. Chatman is a good all around back gives you everything he has, but can't catch to well.

I'd bring Chatman back as the direct backup to Ronnie.
However, the sub would be Lorenzo Booker. Chatman would get 2-4 carries a game at most and be the replacement for Ronnie if he were to get hurt again.
Ronnie/Booker should get 99% of the carries. Those 2 with an improved OL could be incredibly scary. Ronnie proved how valuable he was to the OL as they went downhill soon after he was out.
What could happen now is that Reagan could be the odd man out in favor of getting Ronnie and Booker into the backfield. -
