    Big upgrade over Rex & Dare. Was hoping we’d snag him. Pierce & Eno should be the only two backs seeing any touches going forward.

    Wait until you hear why he was released so suddenly -- it's unbelievable.

    Excellent move. He got released because he wanted to play, not because he couldn’t play. Maybe a slight attitude issue, but he’s an NFL talented back, and this team needs talent. Hopefully the other stuff will work itself out.

    If he was grumpy sharing touches with Connor why will he enjoy it here with Pierce firmly entrenched?

    Benjamin should be able to take Burkhead's job as the lead backup. He can also return kicks.

    Hopefully it plays out on "Hard Knocks In Season: The Arizona Cardinal"

    He will probably eventually get 10-15 touches per game, 3rd down RB and spelling Pierce a couple of series per game.

    Right Im pretty sure his role is already determined, but he didnt like THAT role in ARZ ... will resuming that with the worst team in the NFL make him happier to split duties? Doesnt really matter in the end, I just found it odd how it broke down in ARZ and Im not sure the guy was thrilled that HOU picked him up to mimic what he did for the Cardinals.

    That is great..... guy now knows he would be playing with Mahomes and the Chiefs if the Texans hadn't put in a claim for him. Maybe he and Cooks can swap stories about how much they hate the Texans.
