running backs are definitly the maids/ butlers of the nfl. It’s a shame since they are heavily relied upon in the gameplan. I guess it is supply and demand. 20 years ago everybody wanted to be Barry Sanders. Now everyone wants to be RG3, maybe in 10 years or so, the qb position will be saturated and the pay will taper off. You never know, maybe in 50 years, everybody will want to be Ray Guy and will be getting 200 million dollar contracts to coffin kick.

He was drunk at the time of the test. He drove home though. Just another game day.

I’m confused… I thought you couldn’t release someone due to injury?

He will look great in Silver and Black with #20 sharing carries aka Mike Bush and given a second chance. San Diego let him Tomlinson and #43 go all in 2 yrs? No wonder all there staff was let go!

guys, the problem is he has no hands. he is one dimensional. the best rb can do both. yes turner, and yes i dare say, Adrian Peterson, can have phenominal years running the ball. but you compromise the offense when you cant help in the passing game. plus, Jacquizz Rodgers has already shown he can do both and be a better fit for this offense. so basically what im saying is, those power running backs, they are a dying breed that typically dont last long in the league if they cant catch the ball.

Turner got injured in the NFC Championship game and did not play in the second half. He is probably still recovering from his injury. Hence, the failed physical.

After the feel good story of his fare well comments? Who cares…anyone who has ever balanced a checkbooks knows why. I think a good fit for Denver….kick the tires toothy

What player takes a physical this time of the year? Sounds like the Falcons are trying to ruin any chance thatTurner will have to be picked up by another team. Pathetic.

I kinda feel bad for this dude. He runs all these years with a punishing style and in todays NFL running backs make less than kickers. Even the good ones. Its sad to see the position come down to that. Its no wonder there is hardly anyone alive capable of playing the position. Even if you are amazing at it the odds are you get hurt before your big payday and never get that pay day. Idk about you but this would have to be a last ditch career for me. I’d have to be unable to read and write to take that beating

Michael seemed healthy in every respect, until the doctor noticed that he was 31 years old.
