I would absolutely deal a late round pick for him. Hyde is a good back. This team lacks playmakers. You can use him and Shady like Atlanta does. It will keep them fresher. Just give Hyde every touch that Tolbert has been getting.

Yup. Fine with a day 3 pick to actually solidify our only viable strength on offense. If we have any chance of going anywhere it's keeping McCoy healthy, having anything behind him in case he goes down and riding the defense.

 

Running back stands a better chance than WR for contributing quickly too

He's playing for his next contract as a 2018 UFA I doubt he'd want to get 10-12 carries a game behind Shady on one of the weakest running teams in the league. So he'd likely be just a rental...

That's fine by me.

or he coul find he would flourish with the right system that doesn't overuse him thus extending his career and $$ overall.

Why? A Hyde/Shady 1-2 punch would be great. Much better than Tolbert.

Maybe but Im sick of seeing this team dump resources into RBs. A Hyde rental does nothing for this team long term and likely does nothing for us this year either.

So you'd rather have a 7th round pick than 1/2 a year of Hyde? Not me

I don't think he's available for a 7th.

 

I think they are looking for a third.

That's a different story. They aren't getting a 3rd for a FA.

I would be shocked if they were going for anything less. He's bound for a late third/fourth as a comp pick if he walks.

 

They are hoping a playoff contender loses an RB and decides to over pay to make a run. IMO.

Yes, I would. But it would be very Billsy for us to trade for a backup RB when we are so thin at WR.

Can he play WR?

He can line up in the backfield freeing McCoy to split out wide more often. With McCoys speed it may even help keep safeties out of the box for Hyde to have running room.

 

So, indirectly...he would possibly help the WR position.

The comp picks at the end of the 3rd are around a 10m per year salary qualifier. I may be out of touch on how Hyde is viewed but what kind of deal is he projected for? That seems very high.
