I saw this. Going into his 3rd year, following his "career" year of 772 and 8 TDs/
Bottom line, who does this guy think he is? Don't you have to accomplish something before you can go around demanding trades?
this as good as he will get, cant blame the man for trying to maximize his value now

Sure, but trying to demand SF trade him is nuts. What can his trade value possibly be, a 6th at best? It's not even worth it for SF to think about.
I suppose they don't really lose anything by just getting rid of him. That production is less than run of the mill starter.

He signed that deal as a core special teams player. Now he's a starting RB and wants a raise. I think that's justifiable on his part. Get it while you can.

I get San Fran not budging too.

Did not know that about getting ST pay.
Still don't think he deserves all that much of a pay increase then. If SF really wants him as their long term back (or a couple years anyway), then he should be cheap still after only that much production.

That's the way they think, one good year equals pay me big.
They suck after that big contract they don't give money back.
Saying that though, he does deserve what Coleman is getting at least..he would make a good #2 for us.
 
I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in to compete for the 2 spot. He's got to be a better option than Woodside and Cole McDonald?
I believe it's likely that hes better than our other backup options, and he certainly has playoff experience should anything happen to RT. Usually I would say he is not good enough for the distraction he would cause. However, with the way things are right now, I think signing Kaep would instantly make us a favorite organization of many players around the league, which can benefit the team in a number of ways.
All that said, I still dont think he genuinely wants to play football anymore. He is doing fine financially, has his activist platform locked down, is 32, and isnt going to be a starter anywhere without injury.

I wonder if he really wants to play as well...a couple of coaches have said he would be worth signing but if that's the case why hasn't he yet?
No harm in trying to sign him, see what he has.

Pretty low bar to be better than, without seeing either of them play of course.
I'm only opposed because I think it hurts the team for the distraction HE brings. Has nothing to do with his abilities (after 4 years off) outside me not thinking he was ever starter quality anyway. As a backup, if quiet (him and the media, which is impossible), he probably would be an upgrade over Woodside or McDonald, but again, that doesn't say much.

I don't wonder at all. The answer is no, he does not want to play. Plenty of "taboo" reasons why but this is a good thread, I don't think we need to ruin another one on his account.
 
Coleman and his agent parted ways. Hopefully his new agent will convince him to lower his asking price, he would be a nice addition to team up with Henry for a 2-2.5 million price tag. The Titans have to be eying up a veteran, beginning the season with Dawkins or Evans as the #2 would make me feel extremely uncomfortable. If something happened to Henry the offense would be in shambles because the Titans don't have the receiver depth to air it out and Dawkins nor Evans are bellcow backs, they're more suited for 5-10 carries a game.

You mean Devonta Freeman? And no thanks anyways. He was beginning his downslide in ATL and hasn't been healthy lately at all.

He appeared in just 63% of games over the past 3 seasons, and his 2019 was just flat not good:

2019 yards/carry: 3.6
Career avg prior: 4.3

2019 yards/reception: 6.9
Career avg prior: 8.1

And he wasn't even being asked to be the bell cow in 2019. His touches were limited, and he was still very inefficient.

If the argument is to bring him in to do passing down work, I'd argue that Evans is a better option anyways because he has a lot more explosiveness, is much cheaper, and offers a lot more upside.

If something happened to Henry, I'd never trust Freeman to be able to carry the load anyways. I'd expect we'd sign someone off the street at that time rather than fill up our roster with running backs. Maybe bring back Fluellen or sign someone off another practice squad and go with a committee approach.
 
My bad, Coleman was Freeman's teammate and I confused the two. Freeman parted ways with his agent, I'm unsure what transpired but he was set to make 4 million with Seattle before the deal fell through. You can't really hold the 2018 stats against him when he suffered several injuries barely playing, he was a healthy back prior to that. His career clip is 4.2 yard per carry and 7.8 yard per catch at 28 I'd be good with J Rob bringing him in on a 1 year deal with some incentives.
