Procise could be cut with minimal dead cap implications I think, I am far from an expert on this, but looks like only about $346,000 in dead cap money if cut? Davis and Rawls are RFA's. Rawls should not be tendered an offer, this guy has to go. Too bad, he does have talent, but way too injury prone and I could not stand him jumping up after every 3 yard run and getting in the face of someone. It finally bit him in the a** in that last game when he got 15 yards for taunting and put them out of field goal range. Davis I would like to see in camp.
J.D. McKissic is an Exclusive Right free agent, and have little doubt he will be brought back to camp to battle for a spot. He should be the guy to take over for Procise.....Lacy is a UFA and is as good as gone.
So right now, I believe Davis, Carson, and McKissic will be back, at least in camp. I think Davis and Carson will battle it out for just one of the spots, McKissic has the inside track for the 3rd down back, and the lead back role is wide open for business. Whether it be a free agent or a draft pick, someone needs to take the bull by the horns. Carson showed flashes of being that guy, but got injured so that will be a knock against him.
The one thing I liked about all these guys(along with the whole team) is they didn't fumble the ball away(except Wilson). Wilson fumbled the ball 14 times this year and only lost it 3 of those times. Rawls fumbled once and lost it, and McAvoy fumbled once and lost it. That was it. Only 5 fumbles lost on 18 that hit the ground (the other 2 were Britt and Wagner losing the ball after they recovered a fumble).
That's a good summation, 86. I, too, do not expect to see Rawls back in camp this season. He was a one hit wonder. Procise might not be back, either, due to his inability to stay on the field. But the fact that he can play like a wide receiver might earn him another chance, especially if Schott decides he wants to widen our passing game horizonatally with more running back screens.
I expect us to trade down into the 2nd round and pick up a RB with our first overall pick.
