[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878734"] I don't disagree with that. That 4th. RB could be the best option to fill a special teams need. If Jamaal Williams was that 4th. guy making the same money as D. Williams, I wouldn't raise (and belabor ;)) the issue. I don't think you pay a guy $2.3 million to sit inactive every week until somebody gets hurt while that guy is in a contract year and has some trade value. Again, this assumes Dillon earns the #2 spot. As noted before, you're not limited to just the 5 remaining players on the 53 man roster for game day injury subs. You can elevate up to two players from the practice squad, now 12 guys to pick from, then send them back without having to clear waivers. It just can't be the same player in back-to-back games or the same player more than twice per season without signing him to a regular contract. These are obvious options for one game injuries. Then there's the new rule that you can have two guys on the PS with unlimited accrued seasons at $12,000 per week. It occurs to me that a guy like Veldheer, whose issue might be chronic pain, might not want to be on a roster even as a bench player since he'd have to commit to playing week-in and week-out if somebody got injured. Teams might not want to pay him even vet minimum money for the same reason. If that type of guy wants to stay in the show on a limited basis, not having to play two games in a row and limited to two elevations per season (a max of two games per year unless signed to a regular contract), this might be an attractive option to both parties. The point being there could be a vet running back in the same boat. This would be inexpensive vet insurance with something left in the tank, handy for concussion replacements which often last for only one game, something RBs are prone to. It so happens the 15 players with per game roster bonuses I'd expect to be active regardless. Those guys are front line players with the possible exceptions of Funchess, Lewis, Taylor and Patrick.
