Dominic Rhodes signed a two year deal with the Buffalo Bills. They signed Rhodes because their starting running back was suspened for the first three games. They picked up Rhodes to help with their run game. Rhodes said that he was upset that the Colts did not want to resign him after. He felt that he did a good job last year helping especially once Addia got hurt. Rhodes had to fill in and not only was Addia hurt the offensive line was hurt too. Rhodes left after the team won the super bowl in 2006. He left to become one of the Raiders running backs. He came back to the Colts next year.
I think that the Colts decided that they did not need him this year. They were able to draft Michigan running back Mike Hart last year. He was hurt early in the season. I think that they feel that they will be able to maybe get another running back this year or get my with the running backs that they already have. They still have Addia starting. Rhodes did a good job last year, but the Colts running game was one of the worst in the league so the Colts maybe feel they need to go in a different direction.

I agree with you. I also thin k that the colts decided that they did not need him more, but what are we going to do when we need backup players. The Colts traded a good player. I think the Colts may regret this trade if there are injuries next season.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the Colts no longer had a use for Rhodes especially with the draft coming up. I think that the draft will also solve the problem of the issue of back up players when injuries roll around next season. The Colts picked up a very good running back from UCONN and he will help out the running game in the upcoming years.
