Has Westbrook been signed?

I still think he wouldn't be terrible in Green and Gold. Third down veteran back.

That is pretty much why I wouldn't mind seeing him signed. Grant is the unquestioned starter, and I feel Westbrook durability wouldn’t be an issue if he was only a part time player used in the right way. And if he goes down you would still have Jackson to step up and take his spot. I'm sure since he has been out in the market for so long that by now his price has gone down. It sure doesn't look like TT is interested in adding him though.

Unless something has happened in the last six hours or so, nobody has signed Westbrook yet this offseason. Perhaps 32 NFL teams know something we don't.

yeah, like one hit to the head and he's lost for the whole season

good luck preventing your RB from getting hit in the head

and then we use B Jack...not like in MN when the great one goes down this year they use T Jack.

I say we just use B Jack. Westbrook is a walking talking injury these days.

Don't forget about that kid we drafted out of Buffalo, James Starks. If his shoulder is okay he'd be an ideal 3rd down back. From bleacherreport.com:

The scouting report on Starks is promising too: "Natural pass catcher", "Glider who can hit the corner at the NFL level and can be a load to take down once in the open field", and "good lateral movement and quick feet when looking for a hole to open."

So there is little doubt in my mind, if Starks can stay healthy (and to be fair, that is a big "if") he has the opportunity to come in right away and help an already good NFL offense. He's not an immediate threat to Grant's job security, but I'd say this pick is a pretty good indication that Jackson's role as the third down running back is far from safe.

I'd rather we spend our money on a player with fewer health issues.

I guess that settles it, we should re-up Justin Harrell instead.

And since he's a vet, if he's signed before Game 1, he gets paid for the full season, even if he's carted off from the first snap. I'm sure that plays into teams' decision-making.
