nfl.com says that he spent Sunday night here in Charlotte, NC. Stewart trade coming to save cap $$?

Steelers don’t have enough money to pay attention, and certainly can’t pay Tolbert.

Steelers could use Tolbert with Mendy out for awhile.

———————————————————-

Big Bum won’t have any use for Tolbert unless it
turns out he’s really a drunken college co-ed in disguise…

Who thinks J Stewart will leave next yr? I hope the Panthers are leaving some money for him. Cant see him slipping away from us.

They can’t get Tolbert on the cheap… but they can get Leron McClain.

Panthers do not have the money. Did you see where we picked up special teams player from vikings. That dude is a freight train with legs.

P.S. You’re the best RB those bozos had last year! If they didn’t know it then, they won’t know it now. We would show you the love!!!!

lol What? Uuuh, no. Mathews is the better RB. His only issue is that so far he has dealt with injuries – which allowed Tolbert to get reps to begin with.

Kind of surprised at the amount of love Tolbert is getting on here. Don’t get me wrong, I like the guy too but he isn’t THAT amazing.

Sounds like he is asking for a lot of money and teams won’t pay up for a RB who has a history of fumbling the ball. They can find a younger cheaper version of him undrafted.

At any rate best of luck to him!

The Steelers better do SOMETHING about running back, especially if Mendenhall won;t be ready for the start of the season.

Tolbert would be a great replacement for Michael Bush in Oakland. If he ever wants to get a Super Bowl ring, he’ll have to leave San Diego. Oakland is now up & coming and should get back to the Big Dance within 3-4 years.

I would love to see Denver pick him up but until Elway and crew stop waiting around for Manning to decide what he is doing it doesn’t seem that the Broncos will do anything and by then he will be gone im sure

Mike Tolbert needs to come to Denver! The combo of Mcgahee and Tolbert would be a great 1,2 punch! And would be able to torment the sorry ass chargeless lighting bolts twice a year!

Amazing, none of these RB’s are going anywhere. The days of established RB’s getting blockbuster deals are o-ver.

Maybe Cleveland, nice 1-2 Punch with Trent Richardson next season. Pounding down the throats of the rest of AFC North. Playoffs here come Brownies!

Mike Tolbert to the Ravens as a backup to Rice. He shouldn’t be expensive given the lack of interest so far. Ricky Williams retired, so there are reps to be had. He is a TD machine near the goal line, so he would make sense for a team with poor red zone performance.

For the most part, Running Backs are a dime a dozen. (with the exception of Peterson and Johnson).

Tolbert would average 3.6 yds per carry and so would some guy who shows up at Steeler camp who won’t even make the team.

If you want good Running Backs, draft offensive lineman.

Tampa?

Don’t think they have any one behind Blount and Richardson is no sure thing (Browns need RB)

Tolbert going to Oakland would actually be a pretty intriguing signing if they were interested. Only if they can get him at an affordable back-up price though.

Very under-rated RB. Surprised by the lack of interest he is getting. Cleveland can pair him with Trent Richardson. Tampa Bay should take a hard look at this guy too, pair him with Blount. He is versatile, between the tackles runner, that has strength to push the pile and can be very efficient in the red zone.

Tolbert would be a good fit on any team–shifty, powerful and a very good burst. I think his initial burst is why he scores so many red zone TD’s. He may not have breakaway speed but that doesn’t really matter when you’re only 10-15 yards away from the end zone.

Tolbert would be a major upgrade over Goodson. Hope the Cats sign him.

Would have liked tolbert, but in reality it didnt make sense. We already have the big bruiser back (redman) and if anything we need a speedster (baron batch may fit this role).

Veteran free agents are too expensive, especially when you consider he would not have been playing a large role in the burgh.

They probably don’t have the cap space, but the Giants would make perfect sense, as a duo with Bradshaw.

COME TO OAKLAND, WHERE YOU BELONG.

Thanks, bro.

You might want to get a move on, though. The market for Michael Bush isn’t exactly on fire either and he should be back home, hat in hand, pretty soon. Be there before him or… the potential return to Norv and AJ looms. YIKES.

P.S. You’re the best RB those bozos had last year! If they didn’t know it then, they won’t know it now. We would show you the love!!!!

its crazy how quickly the value of runningback have declined over the years… for all the fantasy football fans out there it makes all the difference
