Well that's a cold slap to the groin. The limb I was on just broke.
I also hope they find a way to keep Warren, I really love watching the guy run. If anything, RB depth is a gigantic need in the NFL, and we should be carrying four without question.
From a depth perspective, and trying to remove my rose-colored Warren glasses, makes more sense to me to shed DeAndre Washington before Warren given the overlap in skill set Washington has with Richard, and the fact that he hasn't really stood out consistently. Jacobs has solid pass catching ability as well, so what specifically does Washington add to the squad?
Also a chance we can retain Warren by shuffling the special teams duties of Nick Nelson as a backup returner. Dwayne Harris was clearly a solid returner, so he's the main guy, but not sure we need Nelson -- especially if the Raider take a CB with their early 2nd round pick.
Washington's skills seems like a much better option in ST, but maybe Warren might be utilized there as a way to keep him on. Have no idea if he's ever done PR/KR duties before.
I'm clearly reaching.
