Call the Dolphins and ask them what the price is for Frank Gore. Let Breida be the change of pace guy and let Morris and Gore pound out the tough yards. Doubt that Frank is going to be worse than the vast majority of the guys out there in free agency and it'd be a nice PR move as well.
Some Vikings fans are pretty classy today on twitter .

Thanking Jet and wishing him a speedy recovery

I dunno. Not much of a receiver. Probably can get the same caliber guy for free on waivers.

I thought Abdullah is the same type of back McKinnon is? Small, shifty fast whose dangerous in open space. Maybe he'll fit his type of offense better

Ran a 4.6. Never had more than 26 receptions in a year, including college.

What is this "classy fan" you speak of??
Damn it this changes everything. Bring back Mc Nickles or find a scat back with good hands or this offense will struggle. damn

Isn't there anyone we can pick up on waivers?

Oh damn forget that, he doesn't look like a slow ass on the field tho. No wonder the lions who haven't had a back since sanders wanna get rid of him
Richie James is the same type of player as McKinnon who is a combination RB and WR. McKinnon runs a 4.38 40, James 4.48 . McKinnon is bigger and a bit stronger but while James lacks great size, he's an electric athlete and a tough runner. Best of all he has experience playing the RB/Slot position. He played quarterback as a high school senior, earning honorable mention Florida all-state honors, but switched back to receiver (49 receptions, 727 yards, seven touchdowns as a high school junior) during his redshirt season in Murfreesboro.

James starred in 2015, receiving first-team Freshman All-American and first-team All-Conference USA notice with 108 receptions (ranked third nationally) and 1,346 yards and eight touchdowns (he also had 12 carries, 146 yards and a rushing touchdown). His sophomore season was even better, covering 1,625 yards and scoring 12 times while again garnering first-team all-conference honors (38 carries, 339 yards and FOUR TOUCHDOWNS RUSHING).

James was also the Hawaii Bowl MVP despite the Blue Raiders' loss because of his 201 yards of offense (162 receiving, 39 rushing) and 51-yard touchdown. His junior season was cut short in October 2017 because of a broken collarbone (31 receptions, 290 yards, three receiving touchdowns; 10 carries, 57 yards rushing, seven attempts and 37 yards on punt returns), but James still finished as the school's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns.

This kid may not have the exact skills of McKinnon, but he could be the Niners' Swiss Army Knife. And, he doesn't lack confidence: "I'm a play maker man, that's all I do. I come in and make plays, and get the ball in my hands."

De'Angelo Henderson. Cut by Denver and Broncos fans don't seem to know why. Natural one cut and go back, good speed, very capable receiver.

Miss out on Mack, then lose McKinnon.

Some fans will blame Shanahan and Lynch, saying that we should have given up our entire future to get the Raiders to give in and that Shanahan should have known that McKinnon was fragile. I won't blame them though. Just a misfortunate, sad day

Tell Denver fans it's because Freeman has higher upside. Booker is way more proven and has the most experience. And Philip Lindsay impressed them a ton in training camp and pre season. Plus he's a great special teamer. Then they gotta reserve a spot for the FB. They didn't have enough room to keep 4 rb and a fb.

Henderson would be interesting to bring in. And could end up being solid. But I'd be much much more happy with a proven vet over relying on a second year 6th rounder who didn't do anything last year. Very unlikely he comes in and outplays Morris/Breida/mostert.

And if you do bring him in, then who do you cut?

Time for some backup mofo to step up, like Goodwin stepped up after Garcon went down. Looking at you roommate Breida 👀

Let's go!
