    A idea for a 3rd back

    Old news but Charlie Garner was released by TB.
    Mabe he could sign a dirt cheap contract, but he is coming of a series injury.
    Also J.R. Niklos has been looking pretty good in NFL Europe.

    I think he's injury last year might have signalled the end of his career. I loved Charlie when he was here. It didnt rush for 1000 yards but he rushed for 900 and total receptions were 900 yards. I hated letting him go. All around solid back.

    I think Charlie is done, sad to say he did a great job for us. I have a feeling they will bring back Wheatly after June 1st. unless someone else gets him or has already signed him, I am not sure of his status at the moment.

    1. Are you sure he's been released yet?

    2. I like Charlie Garner but I'd rather bring back our bruiser in Tyrone Wheatley.

    First of all, I don't think he has been released yet. It still may happen.

    We do need a 3rd back, and we might as well bring in a back who can help us in the passing game out of the backfield, but I would rather re-sign Redmond or go after Chad Morton if he is cut by Washington.

    Last I checked Garner has'nt been released by Chucky yet. I also agree with the consensis here that that injury he suffered last season is a carrier ending one.

    If we do sign a backup RB I would prefer Eddie George at a dirt cheap price, I'd like for the raiders to surround lamont jordan with veterans with knowledge, LJ learned from curtis martin and learning from eddie george would only increase his skills, plus george can backup and still pose a power threat hes just far from an everydown back now-a-days.

    Maybe we could use Crockett for that role also?

    we still need to sign another back. fargus is too much of a question and crockett is getting up there in age.

    Garner was a fine HB for us BUT i believe that those injuires are starting to catch up w/ him.I also think JR Nikols would be more suited as a FB b/c he lacks speed.REdmond would be solid as a 3rd down back b/c he can fill a few holes.Depth for both HB & FB but can also play on ST's for us.
    When you have had your ass handed to you by a Raider, you've seen The Blackness!

    I liked Garner a lot in his time with the Raiders, but I think his time is up. If we're going to sign another RB, I would rather it be a younger guy. Garner had some very productive years, but I'm afraid that those are now behind him.
