Will any free agent running back not want to sign with the Ravens?
Opposite of the WR one. With LJ and a heavy dose of RPO.. you've gotta think some running backs out there would get excited to play here and get a piece of some of the gaping holes that they're gonna see.
Leveon Bell (do it)
Tevin Coleman
TJ Yeldon
Frank Gore
Damien Williams
Mark Ingram (interesting if we get Carmichael)
Doug Martin
Darren Sproles (old but somewhat interesting)
Jay Ajayi
Alfred Morris
Peyton Barber
Adrian Peterson (should have signed him this year and they totally dropped the ball.. why do we never take these chances?)
Re: Will any free agent running back not want to sign with the Ravens?
I'd still love Bell but if that isn't doable I would be happy with Ingram too. Bell and LJ in the same backfield though would just be crazy good.

Mark Ingram would be so nice. New Orleans' offense returned to top tier when he returned to the lineup. It's very, very hard to stop both Ingram and Kamara.

Say it with me: Domestic. Violence.

Hell grab em both? We could have all 3 of them on the field at once then we'd really be cooking.

Yes really. The team mantra is different post Ray Rice. At least for now.
That said, I bet even the Washington Football Team didn't know what they were getting with AP.

Why not? Like you said if we're going to be a running team let's be a running team. Revolutionize the run game, or just sign some slow old beat up discarded receiver.

They didn't do anything when Jimmy Smith got in trouble.

Fair point. I think he was too cost prohibitive at the time. He's gone after this season though.

Exactly. And what if Ray Rice wasn't already washed up when his incident happened.

I think the same thing happens because it became personal with Emperor Goddell.
