Not surprised. He should have a decent year but his touches will be even less than here as he will play in a very crowded backfield that emphasizes the pass.

Writing was on the walls for weeks. Everyone knew it would happen.

Mike Davis won’t start. My guess isn’t they trade up to the 2nd and pick their choice ofback.

Wow, wasn't expecting that at all. I thought they'd at least wait until the draft to see if they could get a couple teams wanting to trade for him.

Maybe Biggs does know what he’s talking about eh?

Meh, not great compensation for him, but it was either get a 6th for him now or nothing when he walks after the season.

What a lot of ppl don’t get is that he also take snaps away from other rbs.

Is this the uniform announcement? Someone new will be wearing 24?

I honestly thought if they were going to trade him that they would wait until the draft and maybe package him with a pick to move up in the draft to take his replacement.

Good landing spot for Howard. Thank you for your service. Played inspired during the Fox years. Moving on.

Old regime would have extended him.
