    Per Tim Graham.

    Big back that was set to start for Denver last year before fracturing his elbow. Comes back midseason to start one game. Gets 12 carries for 68 yards and a TD before tearing his ACL. Got an injury settlement in August.

    6-1, 225. Due diligence move IMO. Unless somebody's nicked and we don't know it yet.

    Practice squad eligible.

    I wonder why we would work him out. We have good depth at RB, especially with Cobbs and Hilliard.

    Find out who his agent is and you might find the answer.

    I like him

    Lets see we are deep on rb's and have issues with our wr's, this doesn't make sense.

    It makes perfect sense. They want to spell Ronnie even further. If you only limit his carries in regulation, he's that more fresh in overtime.

    C'mon people, get with it!

    Well, there is a next season to plan for, if he is healthy next preseason or later this year if we have an injury it is good to know what sort of shape he is in and if he has kept up his conditioning while being out of work.

    WOW you took the words out of my mouth lol too funny..

    Ronnie needs a break guys this makes perfect sense.

    You know I think we need to get someone to spell Ted Ginn he's tired from all the route running as well.

    Either it's an agent favor, or we're looking for a replacement when a RB for WR trade goes down.

    Its nice to see them being proactive rather than reactive. If he is a good prospect and can be placed on the practice squad then it is proof they are being dilligent.

    I agree with Muck, due dilligence. The day you are satisfied with the talent level on your roster should be the day you win the Super Bowl IMO.

    Stupid to worry about next year when they clearly didnt worry about this year...

    SOrry I just really am pissed at the lack of a quality receiver.
