heehawks Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Great player on the decline, mostly due to his recent knee injury. He helped me win a few championships in his heyday. If he can get healthy, I wouldn't mind the Hawks kicking the tires on JC. I think he might be a good fit with Wilson. That being said, he is probably going to get picked up by another team needing his pass catching skill set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Could work well as a change of pace back getting 6-8 touches per game. Bellcow days probably over given injury history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 So, do they draft another RB? West played well at the end of the season, but I don't think they see him as an every down back and Ware was pretty much garbage from about week 14 on through the playoffs.

DMD Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 His last two seasons combined for only 8 games. He wants to go to a Super Bowl contender. He'll probably be hired as a backfield tandem, then end up with one or two big games and then get injured for the rest of the year. Have to think he'll be overdrafted on his name.

He was overdrafted last year. Probably better value this year but that depends on where he goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hard to say right now since it all depends on where he ends up and their expectation. But I cannot believe that everyone one in the league is going to let a name like Jamaal Charles go for more than five or six rounds tops. But again - depends on where he lands.

whomper Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 He is the kind of guy that ends up on the Pats and scores 12 tds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Charles to NE would be complete boom or bust. He hasn't remained healthy since 2014 and is not any more durable now. I hope he doesn't - what a nightmare to forecast knowing he could be gone in any week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I would look at Indy as a likely landing spot. Ballard is pretty familiar with him, and if he's healthy he would know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, was mostly wishing for a healthy JC, which isn't likely to happen. Also, Rawls and Prosise aren't exactly a picture of perfect health. The heehawks went down hill fast when both were out and it would behoove them to ensure they have someone dependable at rb this year. Charles doesn't really fit that dependable part of it, but if he remained healthy, it would be fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wpob Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 As a long time Charles dynasty owner, I just hope he plays next season!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Don't see him in Seattle. Definitely don't see him in NEP unless he's willing to pay for next to nothing. Even then I see him doing nothing. Blount/Lewis (and even White) will command the majority of the looks. How about the Cowboys? Darren McFadden is a free agent and strikes me as the kind of guy that thinks he can still be a feature back. Slide Charles in as the pass-catching CoP back.. back in Texas. Eagles are supposedly kicking the tires. Not sure I get that with Mathews and Smallwood there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot is great in pass protection and is amazing catching the ball out of the backfield. Charles would put a damper on his value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it would affect Zeke's value much. He is going to get 80% of all touches and Morris and some pass-catching back will take the scraps.

michaelredd9 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I don't think Charles is going to go to a team like the Cowboys where he would clearly be second fiddle. He might have to do like Forte and go to an average team. I also think the Packers are a good fit if he is willing to accept a low salary.

Agree he might go somewhere that he won't be the clear #1, have to compete for carries or get a split. But not somewhere to be backup to a clear stud like Zeke who plays all 3 downs and only needs a few breathers. Unless he's just looking for a chance at a ring.

Looks like Pete and John want some insurance and veteran competion for oft injured Rawls and Procise, just as I speculated. Also rumors of mitual interest with AP. I think they will seriously consider signing one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
