Top Free Agent Running Backs:
LeVeon Bell (PIT)
Age: 25 | 2017 Salary: $12,120,000 | FA Rank #1
Still really much inwards his prime, LeVeon Bell in 1 trial to a greater extent than finds himself without a contract for the 2018 flavour alongside no existent leverage. The Steelers are good aware of what a talent similar Bell is worth on the opened upward marketplace at historic menstruum 25, as well as yet they decline to play the man. At this betoken inwards his career, Bell has really lilliputian leverage inwards contract negotiations other than sitting out for an entire yr allowing him to so larn a gratuitous agent inwards 2019. Amassing an astonishing amount of move inwards his career, the Steelers lead keep loaded Bell alongside 1541 touches inwards v years! It’s really clear that Bell is vastly under-paid as well as has threatened to sit down out or retire if Pittsburgh were to utilisation the franchise tag for to a greater extent than or less other year. The Steelers realize their window is closing to win championships alongside Ben Roethlisberger nearing retirement, as well as lead keep already committed huge coin to Antonio Brown, making the Bell province of affairs difficult. The 2017 numbers dictate the appropriate frustrations coming from the Bell camp. In 2017 – Bell touched the ball 406 times giving him a pay banking company check of $29,852 per touching off his twelve 1000000 dollar guaranteed contract. Comparing that to Devonta Freeman of the Atlanta Falcons; Freeman touched the ball 292 times giving him a pay banking company check of $62,660 per touching off his 18 1000000 dollar guaranteed contract. Who wouldn’t live frustrated!
There are 2 major concerns going into the 2018 NFL flavour inwards regards to LeVeon Bell. First; he has already mentioned retirement or belongings out the entire yr inwards hopes to larn a novel contract. Second; his production powerfulness sideslip equally he volition exercise but plenty to generate a lucrative cope piece avoiding an injury. It’s to a greater extent than than probable the Steelers play the game as well as utilisation the franchise tag on Bell in 1 trial to a greater extent than inwards 2018 equally his frustrations volition continue! This province of affairs volition live really interesting equally the offseason unfolds.
Carlos Hyde (SF)
Age: 26 | 2017 Salary: $920,420 | FA Rank #2
H5N1 really intriguing actor atop the gratuitous agent listing is the quietly talented Carlos Hyde. Finishing off his rookie contract Hyde finally played all 16 games for the initiatory off fourth dimension inwards his 4 yr career. Carrying the ball 240 times Hyde saw his worst yards per demeanour since entering the league at 3.9. Under autobus Shanahan, Carlos did run across novel career highs inwards rushing touchdowns (8) as well as receptions (59), playing for a squad that greatly needed to a greater extent than or less talent infusion which they received inwards calendar week 12 when Jimmy G began starting. ADF has never been a huge fan of Hyde equally injuries lead keep ever derailed his seasons leaving much to live desired. Over his career, Hyde has an average of 164 carries per flavour leaving a lot of tread left on his tires. Under the novel 49er regime, Hyde powerfulness live able to flourish inwards a scheme poised to generate offensive punch piece non facing stacked 8 & nine human boxes.
There’s no query Hyde would have to a greater extent than compensation on the opened upward marketplace rather than returning to San Francisco. Kyle Shanahan has alluded to moving inwards to a greater extent than or less other direction equally many teams could live really interested inwards signing Hyde to a contract that would live favorable for both parties. Those teams include; Cleveland, Indianapolis, Houston, Oakland, Washington, NY Giants, Detroit, Tampa Bay. It powerfulness live a keen displace for Carlos to modify his address as well as larn a fresh start on to a greater extent than or less other team.
Dion Lewis (NE)
Age: 27 | 2017 Salary: $1,300,000 | FA Rank #3
ADF has grown to appreciate the talents of Dion Lewis these lastly 2 seasons believing he is to a greater extent than than but a production from the Patriots running dorsum tree. Lewis is a quick, shifty, speed runner that surprisingly has the powerfulness to run betwixt tackles alongside effectiveness. Adding to his running powerfulness is his reliability inwards the overstep game rarely dropping passes alongside to a higher house average hands. For the initiatory off fourth dimension inwards his career Lewis played the total slate of a 16 game flavour putting upward career numbers for Belichick as well as the Pats. As the primary dorsum inwards 2017, Lewis was able to generate over 1100 total yards as well as nine touchdowns piece exclusively touching the ball 212 times, impressive! The talent flat of whatever New England running dorsum isn’t the question, but rather the appropriate usage Belichick seems to understand, exploiting their talents to peak production.
For the production, Lewis is an absolute cope for whatever squad looking for a versatile running dorsum to add together to their roster. It’s really rare Belichick volition over pass on whatever actor peculiarly at the running dorsum position. Lewis should lead keep a decent marketplace similar to the 1 Shane Vereen received a few years dorsum from the NY Giants. Dion is a perfect modify of stride as well as 3rd downwardly dorsum that tin live relied upon inwards a express every downwardly dorsum utilisation for a squad alongside a corporation passing game. His injury history volition live a problem concern but should generate larger coin on the opened upward market.
Isaiah Crowell (CLE)
Age: 25 | 2017 Salary: $2,746,000 | FA Rank # 4
ADF has never sung the praises of the powerfulness dorsum from Alabama State. However, Crowell does possess talents that could live transformed provided he plays for a unlike squad. Having faced eight, nine, as well as sometimes x human boxes, Isaiah has performed really good given his circumstances. With zero to brag virtually equally a supporting cast inwards Cleveland, Crowell has basically done it on his own. Isaiah Crowell has a express skill-set making him strictly a 2 downwardly runner alongside no threat of beingness involved inwards the overstep game. It would live a shocker if Isaiah decided non to exam the marketplace as well as render to the Browns, peculiarly coming off a 0-16 season.
There should live suitors for Crowell inwards the offseason equally he would solidify a bruising assault teamed upward inwards a multi-back system. If Isaiah finds himself inwards a province of affairs where a squad has a feasible starting Quarterback on the roster, nosotros could really good run across the best numbers of his career. The Lions as well as the Giants could live decent landing spots for Crowell.
Orleans Darkwa (NYG)
Age: 25 | 2017 Salary: $1,100,000 | FA Rank #5
Darkwa came on belatedly inwards 2017 showing powerfulness as well as strength playing on a Giants squad that had virtually no weapons due to injury. Darkwa is to a greater extent than or less other 1 of these powerfulness backs that tin exclusively conform upward on initiatory off as well as minute downwardly equally his hands aren’t expert plenty to accept on 3 downwardly responsibilities. Carrying the ball a career high 171 times for the Big-Blue, Orleans was showtime to attempt he was capable of carrying the charge when called upon. He did possess an impressive 4.4 yards per demeanour as well as finished off the flavour alongside an impressive 154 yard surgical physical care for against the Redskins. Aside from what he is on tape, Darkwa won’t give y'all consistent game breaking ability.
Orleans should generate to a greater extent than or less involvement on the opened upward market, but his utilisation volition in 1 trial to a greater extent than live placed inwards a multi-back organisation to accept pull per unit of measurement area off a to a greater extent than talented runner. He could live quite the cope for whatever squad looking for a pounder. Depending on what the Giants draft at running back, he could honour himself dorsum inwards New York.
Jerick McKinnon (MIN)
Age: 25 | 2017 Salary: $691,250 | FA Rank #6
Without query the Vikings would’ve been inwards a heap of problem without the services of Jerick McKinnon this season. Buried on the depth nautical chart to start the season, the Vikings drafted rookie spark-plug Dalvin Cook as well as signed Latavius Murray to grip the running duties. Once Cook went downwardly alongside a flavour ending ACL injury, Jerick in 1 trial to a greater extent than came to the forefront as well as performed admirably. It’s clear, McKinnon isn’t an every downwardly back, but provides a keen modify of stride as well as receiving selection when called upon. Jerick does possess elite breakaway speed but struggles to run through the tackles as well as block inwards overstep pro thence limiting his fourth dimension on the field.
McKinnon could easily honour his agency dorsum on the Vikings roster side past times side flavour equally a slight enhance would live appropriate for the move he’s set in. Realistically, this should live the concluding flavour for Jerick wearing regal equally many suitors would live vying for his services inwards the offseason.
Alfred Morris (DAL)
Age: 29 | 2017 Salary: $1,750,000 | FA Rank #7
Since coming to the Cowboys, Alfred Morris has been nether used as well as undervalued for what he’s capable of doing. Completing his 6th flavour inwards the NFL, Morris all the same should lead keep plenty inwards the tank to regain a characteristic utilisation on whatever gild that requires a Pb running back. Morris was able to hit a 4.8 yards per demeanour average this flavour playing a relief utilisation in 1 trial Zeke Elliott was lost to suspension. Morris has rushed for 3 M yard seasons inwards Washington but somehow lost favour inwards the nation’s working capital missive of the alphabet having to settle for a smaller contract alongside the Cowboys. Alfred in 1 trial to a greater extent than volition live looking for a novel address inwards hopes to reclaim a top utilisation as well as hit RB 1 numbers.
Teams that may lead keep involvement inwards Morris would include; Tampa Bay, Detroit, Seattle, Oakland, as well as Houston. ADF believes at that topographic point is all the same to a greater extent than M yard seasons left inwards Morris as well as would live able to attempt it given the opportunity. Alfred carried the ball 115 times this flavour producing over 500 yards on the ground. Double that move charge as well as Morris would undoubtedly generate 1100-1200 yards for whatever club. He could really good live a sleeper going into side past times side yr provided he gets the correct situation.
Rex Burkhead (NE)
Age: 27 | 2017 Salary: $3,150,000 | FA Rank #8
Rex Burkhead came into the 2017 flavour alongside a hype develop that became unstoppable. As the flavour began to accept shape the realization of what Rex is, became really clear. Used equally a goal line, situational specialist, Burkhead was able to brand plays as well as generate points for the Patriots creating to a greater extent than mismatches on that offense. Missing half-dozen games to injury evidently didn’t aid his stimulate equally lost production makes his flavour stance equally a consummate failure based on salary as well as expectations. Rex is a expert dorsum that volition live able to hit inwards the passing game for most teams but volition never gain traction equally a consummate runner. Scoring 8 total touchdowns on but over 500 total yards, the 3.15 1000000 dollars the Patriots gave him should non live offered in 1 trial to a greater extent than inwards 2018. If Rex was able to remain on the plain his production would evidently growth showing the value he has. ADF wouldn’t live surprised if Rex isn’t renewed inwards New England side past times side year.
Teams volition undoubtedly live inwards the marketplace for a actor alongside Burkhead’s science set, but shouldn’t over pay similar the Patriots did to secure his rights. Rex is a expert modify of stride overstep catching dorsum that could supply back upward inwards an criminal offense that likes the shroud game or curt passes out of the backfield. Goal describe move is something Burkhead is also capable of. He volition lead keep teams interested.
Jeremy Hill (CIN)
Age: 25 | 2017 Salary: $938,401 | FA Rank #9
Some may query ADF’s ranking of Jeremy Hill equally the 9th best running dorsum on the opened upward marketplace to this point, recollect as well as facial expression again. Hill basically has been run out of Cincinnati equally production slipped as well as fumbles became his biggest concern. It impossible to overlook Hill’s production since coming into the NFL dorsum inwards 2014. This flavour should live ignored past times all, equally Marvin Lewis attempted to modify the running dorsum room using Mixon as well as Bernard equally the main-stays limiting Hill to exclusively 37 carries. From 2014 to 2016 Hill was able to generate a massive 29 touchdowns almost averaging 10 touchdowns rushing a flavour to start his career. Generating over 1100 yards inwards his rookie campaign, Hill’s time to come looked vivid to which barbarous off equally the Bengals began to unravel. Hill is but entering his prime number as well as a modify of scenery volition exercise the immature runner zero but positives.
Finishing his rookie contract at fewer than 1 1000000 dollars for 2017, Hill should live the possess the most value for gratuitous agent running backs on the market. Teams looking to upgrade their commission backfield or willing to give Hill a run a jeopardy at winning the starting job, should live really happy alongside what he’ll select to the club. ADF volition live watching his province of affairs alongside keen involvement equally the offseason goes on.
