    Chris Ivory and Ben Tate - two top 8 RB's in '14 haha!



    I can see Tate being top 8 even with the injury concerns. Chris Ivory top 8 though. How much do you want to bet on that BMX? Dude has only played 60% of games over the past 4 years. I don't see that for Ivory at all.

    Lol he also said Ivory would be #1 last year.. He's just always drunk
    My 2013 Predictions:
    [:(] C.J. Spiller Will Be The #1RB(Jan 9th)
    [XXX] Demaryius Thomas will be the #1 scoring WR!(Feb 13th)
    [XXX] Trent Richardson will NOT finish as a Top 10 RB!(June 4th)
    [:(] Rob Housler will be a Top 5 TE in 2013!(July 18th)
    [XXX] Josh Gordon will put up a 80/1200/10 stat line in just 14 Games!(Sept 5th)

    Hahahahahaha ^ wouldn't that be somethin
    Bold Predictions:
    Cordarelle Patterson replaces Josh Gordon in the top 5 WR group.
    (Julio, Calvin, AJG, CP, and Dez)

    Andre Williams proves himself to be the best RB in this class, by having the most productive rookie season of all the rbs.

    Ben Tate's contract with the Browns contains $750,000 in per-game roster bonuses.

    Due to durability concerns, the Browns structured the deal in a way that will keep Tate highly motivated to stay on the field. He got a $1.5 million signing bonus and a $1 million guaranteed base salary in 2014, and then will earn $46,875 for every game he's active. Those per-game bonuses are also in the contract for 2015. Tate has missed 24 games in his four-year career due to ankle, hamstring, foot and rib injuries.

    doesnt look like i am the only one with some concerns


    This is all awesome news, @bddavidson. Not sure how this is a negative, the dude is going to play through anything :)

    Yes playing through injuries is a great thing, just look at Spiller playing through a high ankle sprain last year .............

    @ Smitty not that i think he doesnt have talent he does just confirmed what i thought he has missed alot games..which has been my biggest argument against him.getting paid per game is a good idea and will help keep him on the field but imho i dont think u could keep him off anyways as he does play hurt. just seems he is hurt alot ...this information should help hopefully buy him a little cheaper ...

    Yep, I hear ya, but my argument will continue to be that he broke his ankle/leg in 2010, and hasn't been a starter since, and played with the ribs until he was probably advised not to for contract reasons. Sure, the rib injury filled up his injury report, but I don't see the risk like others do. The ankle I completely ignore, that could happen to anyone. Unless you tie that injury to him never drinking milk, i don't see how you can blame that injury on him. The ribs, ok, so he had broken ribs and played through it (and likely would have all year). Not concerned. As you said, the info is useful, helps you buy low.
