Who-ray!!! This guy is going to help get our running game back on top. With the improvements of the line (hopefully).

Not Walker who I was hoping for but we get a guy who brings a specific skill to the table in a substantial way. I like that. Someone who brings an identity is always better than a mediocre generalist.

Didn't Jones-Drew go to UCLA? Or am I thinking of someone else? edit: Just googled. He definitely went to UCLA. Weird he has Minnesota stuff as his avatar. Must have lost a bet or something... Anyways, good signing.
yeah i think the line is still a question mark...brown wade myers are set. Then its Jones ? And ....Newton? He's injured. i'd rather bring back Winston to play right tackle or guard. I hope we make a move here, the o-line is crucial to schaub having a good season and last years drop off I think contributed somewhat to schaub's lackluster play towards the end
Great, great news....needed a FB like him since Leach. Should help. Get Winston, and Arian could make it a contest with Peterson for the rushing title. Yes I know Winston would have been here by now, not going to happen but Newton being injured is not good. Arian had a good year but the blocking did him no favors whatsoever.
This off season is slowly turning into a positive one. Getting all the right pieces we needed at a decent price. Now we have to look to the draft to fill in some other holes.
get winston on the cheap and I will be very satisfied with our offseason signings. then it will be on to the draft.
