    I've pondered this question over and over. I think it could be a good move. He's 31 years old. He's by no means a Ricky Williams, but I'd think he still has miles left on him. I believe, he'd be an ok second back (if Lex doesn't perform) and a great third back.

    I agree. They'll see how tonight's game goes and make a decision after. No quality production out of the running game (i.e. Hilliard or Sheets) and he'll be signed.

    It really couldn't hurt the team at all. He'll sign for vet minimun and bring a nice veteran presence to the team. I wouldn't be against it

    Seriously?
    He has been extremely mediocre for the last 2+ years and has been removed from football for a couple of weeks now.
    At 25 a guy can come in and regain football shape in a week or 2, but not at 31.
    Not gonna happen folks.

    Edge is something like 40 yds from passing another running back on the all tiem list, from what I've read he really wants to play so he can get that done.

    Edge hasn't been good since he left the Colts, IMO. I would rather give Lex the shot and see what he can do.

    It's Lex's job to lose at this point.

    If we win, and he performs well, he'll likely be solidified for the rest of the year.
    If we win, and he performs poorly, he'll either be passed up for Sheets, or possibly Edge
    If we lose, and he performs well, again, he'll likely keep his spot
    And if we lose, and he performs poorly, odds are we'll see more split between him and Sheets.

    If we drop to 4-6, we will NOT be wasting our time picking up additional players to salvage this season. We'll take our current team, find out what we've got where, and then take those sweet sweet draft picks and make it better.

    This is where I think he would be most beneficial. Peyton Manning couldn't stop praising James in his ability to pass protect and receive the ball out of the backfield. It takes time to develop this ability, so James would definitely be an upgrade over Hilliard in this regard, and be able to spell Ricky.

    no, wait for the draft
    Ricky will be all we need @ RB for now.
