He's had health related over the last few years, but when he's healthy, he's an outstanding RB....low center of gravity, quick, good cuts, strong runner.

Yeah, just saw:  2.9 yards per carry the last two years, and less than 1,000 total yards rushing.

 

...1,402 yards in 2015.

To be fair, having watched most of Tampa's games this season (and the last one too), I don't think there are many RBs in the NFL that could have been productive behind that line. Doug was pretty terrible this season even if you take the O-Line into consideration though.

 

This was a no-brainer for Tampa though. Saves them roughly $21 million over the next 3 years and the draft class is incredibly deep; they'll almost certainly get an upgrade at a fraction of the cost.

Based on his performance, I would have cut him as well.  No sense negotiating with a guy that can't stay healthy.

 

He also had a drug suspension.

Excellent point as well and something I completely forgot about.  Drug suspensions are a big deal.  Houston just cut Brian Cushing for that very reason as well.  Cushing wasn't a world beater, but had some decent productivity over his career.  Now at 30, it's not likely that he's going to get another big payday.

I wonder how much Hyde is looking for...

 

That would be my target too. I'd be trying to trade Shady, sign Hyde, and draft a RB in maybe the 3rd round.

Definitely my vet preference. I'd take McKinnon on a lowball deal I suppose. Ideally we spend a draft pick on a young guy though, and there's lots this year
