Chester replacement???

Hey, I'm an Eagles fan but just wondering because I have a relative that is a Vikes fan. With Chester gone, do you think you guys would and should take a run at like a Westbrook, LT, or Thomas Jones?

I hope not

We don’t need a slow, banged-up veteran running back. We’ve got three good young, talented running backs right now, and maybe we’ll draft another.

Yes

Signing an old vet (LT or Westbrook, good as they are) only creates 2 potential holes at once.

Let’s face it: There are reasons that Ian Johnson and Albert Young saw very little time and weren’t drafted in 7 rounds. Sure, it would be great to see one or both get some regular work and thrive in whatever role they may earn, but what the team really needs is someone more talented. Does anyone really think that either of those guys is more talented than Jamaal Charles (3rd round) or Mewelde Moore in his prime (4th round)? The Vikings need another RB at least as good as Charles or MM in their prime with plenty of time.

The Chiefs signed Thomas “Old Bones” Jones to a 2-year deal the day after re-signing 31yo Chris “Bullets Not in the” Chambers (’cause he dropped ’em all) to a 3-year deal.
