Welcome to the team Alexander Mattison

The RB room needle doesnt need to be moved.

Hand the ball off to Zamir 11 times, Mattison 5 times and someone else a couple times.

Yah, not a FA that gets you excited but I don't think it will preclude us from drafting someone either. Lot of injuries last year at the RB position. You need to have some depth.
 
Mattison is a Mendoza line RB 2. When you have every other RB on the roster not have enough carries to even qualify for that line, it’s probably a good idea to at least have one for camp.
Agreed. Good take. He can run, block and catch at a competent level. He’s best as RB2. And paid as RB2. We apparently were not in the market for RB1. I assume a RB1, if paid, would have come here and taken a back seat to Zeus. Sure hope he’s stays healthy. I don’t want Mattisson as RB1. Thus my belief RB is still on the draft menu.

Like @007 there are a few positions you take a stab at every year later in the draft. RB, CB, DE, WR and someone along the OL. Draft could also be UDFA as well.
 
Kinda like that suspect LB we signed last season....Mickey something....

LOL.. We have a guy that started 4 games and a guy who hasn’t started a game in what will be 9 years.. I’m sure Sincere McKormick will take the lead on this team as our 3rd down back.. Bring the vet in and if he gets beat out so be it. If he beats out the likes of Britan Biown, Sincere or whatever Jabroni we have that can’t make it off the PS so be it.

You made my point for me. We signed him and we still have just a bunch of jabronis. Mattison is someone you sign to the practice squad in the eighth week of the season for depth.

Not sure I buy the logic....

The timing of this signing makes no sense. Nobody's searching for backups this far ahead of the draft.... A RB signing this far ahead of the draft indicates you're giving this guy a legitimate shot at starting or that you plan on using a RB-by-committee approach.... and he'd be part of that committee.

So.... Raiders starting RB is now in GB..... GB starting RB is now in Minn..... and Minn starting RB is with the Raiders. Basically a 3-way trade where we got the worst RB of the 3. So much for improving the team here.

He’s only getting paid $2+ million.
 
He was making 3.5M with the Vikings and they cut him at that number. I’d assume he signed for less, otherwise it’d be a ding on TT and I’ll have to head to the Fuck You thread.
it would be about average for the 2nd back vet deal or close enough. I would hope it’s closer to 3 save 250k either way. Anything less would be bonus. If 3 million just adds a tad over 2 million to the cap. We’ll see soon enough I guess
 
He looks like a pitbull in his hilites. Sad to see JJ go.
