Trading/cutting Coleman can free up money needed to try to keep other important players on the roster. Mostert is the lead RB, after him I am fine with a restructured/cheaper McKinnon, and Wilson as our 2-3 on the depth chart. We then would still have Hurd+Juice who can take hand offs from the backfield as extreme depth. Coleman and his close to 5 million salary is a bit pricey.

you damn well better make sure the alleged jet is what you and others think and hope he will be before you cut coleman... i get dollars and cents.. but it kills me how people hate a guy like this who has actually played a big role is us having the season we had last year and the adoring love and hope for underachievers like thomas goodwin and pettis.

Agree

I'd really like to see him get more playing time.

Wilson is taking Breida's spot this year.

There's still Breida AND Jet who might have Breida's spot.

Breida, Mostert, and Wilson are all UDFAs.

When you have three UDFAs and another well paid guy and all four of them perform well in your offense I just really don't understand paying for any of them.

Mostert is already signed. Wilson is cheap. They can just go with Mostert, Wilson, and the next round of UDFA Mosterts, Breidas, and Wilsons.

Coleman and Jet aren't going anywhere. I bet we take a RB in round 6 or 7.

Could Jeff Wilson replace Tevin Coleman as Kyle's bigger early down back before he gives way to Mostert and McKinnon in the passing game? Much cheaper too.

I bring this up because I feel like Kyle likes a bigger back on early downs and to start games with body blows and then likes to knock them out with speed and athleticism later.

I like Wilson's running style he just has to hold on to the ball. After watching Cohn's video on Coleman I am a little down on Coleman. Seeing him hit cutbacks in stead of hitting the edge was frustrating, but Cohn may have just been selective in the plays he highlighted.

True although he's seemed to have shored that up last year.

Sorry why the hell does everyone want to cut Tevin Coleman? He doesn't cost that much, averages 4 YPC, had 0 fumbles last year, contributed to our SB run, and knows Shanahan's scheme inside and out. Oh, and he's also a free agent after the season where he could net us a comp pick.

Coleman/Mostert are proven. Wilson and McKinnon are big question marks.

I hope so. if Jeff Wilson ran a 4.40 in the forty yard dash, he'd be the #2 back on this team already.

I think the thing that holds him back from being a number 1 or number 2 back, is his speed.

Wilson is a poor pass-blocking back imo, Coleman probably is the best one we have in that regard...
