Few RBs will grab teams' interest
Which potential free-agent running back again would you most want to obtain if you had a require at the position? With out a clear-cut choice, our panel of experts supplied a variety of answers.
Jason La Canfora: Visit the 'Lightning Bug'
I'm unsure you are going to find a featured back for any sustained period of time here, especially under 2010 rules. And Darren Sproles will price you some, but any creative coordinator has to adore the opportunities he creates.

Vic Carucci: Big things from small back
Sproles. His significant pace and explosiveness make him a good match in any offense. He's able to going the gap every time the ball is in his fingers. Opposing defenders can occasionally struggle to find him in traffic and should always respect the truth that Sproles is a constant game-breaking risk. He could be an particularly good addition to a group with a power-oriented back again and searching for a good, change-of-pace runner. Sproles also makes a powerful contribution as being a kick returner.
Steve Wyche: Pounce on this Panther
This is easy for me: DeAngelo Williams. He's a power runner with evasiveness, good pace and encounter. He also does not possess a ton of mileage on him having split carries for his entire five-year career using the Panthers. The 273 carries he had in 2009 had been a career-high. Williams, 28, is coming off injury. Nonetheless, he has lots of football left and would be a pleasant match for the Dolphins, who could let Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams stroll; Denver, where his previous coach, John Fox, could pair him with Knowshon Moreno; or Washington. There's also a shot he could be back again in Carolina. Because he has only five many years of tenure, and if free company restricts players with much less than six accrued seasons, he'll be back with the Panthers.
Pat Kirwan: Sufficient Ced

The operating back class appears weaker than the wide receiver class, and I'm not into signing any with the over-30 crowd.Cedric Benson is 28 many years previous, he doesn't possess a large amount of put on and tear on his physique, he rushed for more than 1,000 yards in every of the final two many years, and in 2010 caught the most passes of his career (28). He would perform the following 3 seasons and just be thirty at the finish of 2013. I think he could provide 300-325 carries a yr at close to 4.0 yards per carry and catch close to 30 passes a season. There is no cause to think he cannot score six or 7 touchdowns a season as well. A intelligent veteran who would touch the ball 20 occasions a game is worth some actual cash, but not top-10 operating back money. Benson made $2.seven million last year along with a slight bump to the $3 million variety would be a solid offer, which is within the ball park using the offer Chester Taylor got in Chicago final year.
