Doug Martin released by Buccs...now a free agent.....if Crowell leaves would you be tempted or is he now out of gas ?

Well...you have to ask.....has his shelf life as a productive RB in this league expired? Perhaps:

He would NOT be a replacement for Crow...but would he be a serviceable veteran spot player.
I am not sure that we could not do just as well with a Matthew Dayes...or a mid round pick.

He's done, not worth a roster spot even for the veteran minimum.
Avoid. Do not want.

I would give him a 1 year prove it deal. He is talented and may just need a change of scenery. If he is done it has to be a mental thing, I don't think he is out of gas

Running backs get used up fast. 29 is old in RB years. It appears as if he is done.
But he wouldn’t be the first vet to make a paycheck off of the Browns for nothing on the way out.

It's almost like using a high pick on a position with a historically short shelf life is a questionable move.

Yea, but don't you know there are some non perishable items.
And then in human forms, there are immortals. So unless there is someone in Pittsburgh with a warehouse of Kryptonite, he can't lose

It's not about the position. It's about the player.
Punters have an incredibly long shelf life...
Martin has been there 6 season, he's 29 years old. Saquon is 21 years old. That's 8 years before he reaches Martin's age. A first round selection on Barkley gives you that coveted extra year. And, if you are correct in saying they have a short shelf life, we're getting the better part of his career for the low in taking the 5th year option. That puts a 21 year old rookie at age 26 where you could possibly, depending on how the first five went offer to extend him another 4 years till 30. Could be sent off, retired with 10 years in the league. Hell, if he finds a fountain of youth and plays another 3-4 year contract.
How many QBs have the Browns drafted that didn't last longer than 2 years? By OUR standards, QBs have the shortest shelf life. lol
Martin was taken 31st pick of the first round.

Doug "the muscle Hamster" Martin..AHhh No..Crow will swoop into TB eating Hamster. Than his 7M dollar contract..Crowell will sign in TB for 5-7M dollars in the blinding heat & clarring Sunshine..Here's a thought..How bout getting a 27 year old kid born in Cincinnati,Oh making about 900k..UFA RB Carlos Hyde back from the 49er bay. back to Buckeye Country? ka'pish

Crow averaged something like 4.7 and 4.1 yards a carry the last two seasons, and this board collectively bitched and moaned about him every chance they could.
The board would have a group stroke with a RB averaging 2.9 yards a carry.
-
Maybe if he came in cheap with a prove it deal it would be ok...but counting on him to be a 300 carry 1200 yard back is probably not a good idea. I also am not sure you want a vet with some baggage at this point.
