Snag Or Pass: Lendale White

gives us time to get him into shape and he becomes our back-up bell cow back for Benson.

i doubt it happens but Brown might use him as leverage against Benson’s contract demands (ie use the fact they signed White as a sign the don’t need Benson so he should lower his demands etc)

it will play into the do we keep 6 or 7 WR’s conversations that rears it’s ugly head on every post on the blog. MY INTENTIONS ARE NOT TO START THAT CONVERSATION AGAIN HERE. But if we keep 4 RBs then no way we keep 7 WRs.

If it comes down to White or Leonard, I vote Leonard hands down. If it comes down to White Vs. Briscoe/Cosby/Simpson/Caldwell, well then I will have to consider adding White and hoping either Briscoe or Cosby clear waivers.

This whole thing has MB written all over it. Sign at veterans minimum with conduct and release clasues…sound familiar to anyone? Don’t be suprised if he works out for the coaching staff next week.

suspended for the first 4 for violating some rules.The thing that really bothers me is that Pete Carrol passed on him after they spent a draft pick to get him to Seattle. Everyone knows that Pete is a players coach….and if white can’t play for Pete…..i do not see another coach being able to get anything out of him. I know that the Bengal are still in the market for another RB who can be a workhorse for a game or two but they should wait and see who does not make the Redskins roster because they have about 3-4 RB on their roster and they will probably only keep 2-3 max. Look foe Willie Parker to be released from Washington about half way through training camp.

Honestly, I’m surprised this would even come up. Mike Brown-style “redemption” / bargain-hunting made some sense with Matt Jones given the deficiencies in the passing game, and even with Adam Jones thanks to lack of depth in the secondary behind Joseph and Hall. But RB…? I’m hard pressed to think of a position at which we are better set for depth. On a 53-man roster, if we carry 4 RB’s plus a FB, we’re probably too thin somewhere else. And even if Benson should go down with an injury, there will probably be some non-suspended veteran free agent who can be picked up at the time. I seem to recall that happening last year…

Not because he wouldn’t be a good pickup but because he probably won’t see the field. If Benson misses games there are several FA guys out there who we can get.
