At the price, I think this is a good move because if Alexander proves everyone wrong and doesn't run like a pussy, we have a GREAT backup RB at a bargain price through next year.

And if he sucks, we cut him.

Say we sign him- what happens with the 53 man when Betts comes back?

EDIT: to answer my own question, Insider reporting that Justin Tryon, Justin Hamilton or Rob Jackson could move to the practice squad.

Meh. I doubt he even passes Rock on the depth chart. But if Betts has to go on IR then we'd need a third anyway.

This move does'nt exactly excite me. Kelly had fluid drained from his knee and may be put on IR in a couple of weeks depending on his progress, but if he is , the thought is picking up another wide receiver. We're not giving anything up for Alexander so I guess it's not a panic move like Duckett was. I have my doubts about this move, seems like Rock always gets the shaft. Hope I'm wrong.

i like the move .. Not giving up anything . rock is great FOR SPECIAL TEAMS, i mean this moves does not hurt, to have a back who knows the system to help spell CP .. rock is a great kick returner and a great redskin however this team needs to treat this season as a special season, the table has been laid out for a strong deep run to the playoffs, another set of legs can't hurt .. all HAIL ..

HIP HIP .. HOORAY

SA isn't gonna be in mid season form. Will he truly be able to give CP a rest?

SA at vet min isn't a bad idea.

even if he sucks, it's not like you have anything invested in him... and there's still a chance he could play well in a limited role, which outweighs the non-existent risk.
