FartWaffles 1,857 Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4617/jamaal-charles Chiefs released RB Jamaal Charles. The expected move saves Kansas City $6.2 million in cap space. 30-year-old Charles struggled to get on the field in 2016 while battling injuries to both knees following a 2015 ACL tear. He has just 83 carries since the end of the 2014 season. One of the NFL's most dynamic all-purpose backs in his prime, Charles incredibly hit or topped 5.0 yards per carry in each of his first eight seasons. Some team may bring Charles to camp, but his NFL future is in serious doubt. Going to be interesting to see what team rolls the dice on him. Medium-ish risk, but with the potential to pay off big time if he can stay healthy. Edited May 2, 2017 by FartWaffles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted February 28, 2017 Saw some betting side had the Packers as the odds on favorite to sign him. They don't know Ted Thompson very well. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milla4Prez63 678 Posted March 1, 2017 I think he could definately end up in Green Bay, but I don't think he has much left in the tank to offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted March 1, 2017 From a skill set wise, he's a guy the Packers would love, for sure... But, idk. Haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted March 1, 2017 Would love to see Jamaal Charles return to form, hell 75% of his form is a good player that can add to most teams but those injuries the past couple years and his age...gonna be tough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch 874 Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) I hope the Eagles do take a shot on him. Charles won't cost much of anything because of the past two season. He's far from reliable at this point due to his last 2 injury riddled seasons but the reward is worth the risk at this point especially considering how bad our back field is. He's a versatile threat and would fit great in Pederson's scheme (Charles ex- O coordinator). Keep his load light rotating other backs in and hope he stays healthy. Add Charles and dump Ryan Mathews (with his contract) who is injury prone as well and maybe draft a guy. Edited March 4, 2017 by Dutch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FartWaffles 1,857 Posted May 2, 2017 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4617/jamaal-charles/1 Broncos agreed to terms with RB Jamaal Charles, formerly of the Chiefs, on a one-year contract. Per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, the deal is worth "up to" $3.75 million. The base is probably in the $2 million range. One of the most unique runners in NFL history, Charles used to be guaranteed to average 5.0 yards per carry or better, but has been limited to eight games by knee issues over the past two years. He turned 30 in December. Charles is a high-upside flier for a backfield that badly needed reinforcements, but is a question mark for the time being. For now, C.J. Anderson should be considered the Broncos' starter. Everything could change if Charles flashes glimpses of his old self in camp and the preseason. Charles is expected to miss most, if not all, of the offseason program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted May 3, 2017 Washed up. Having to play in the AFCW will be rough on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted May 10, 2017 Damn...Broncos scored here. Charles gon' make the Chiefs regret it, I hope. Wish I shared your optimism about Charles because his prime absolutely stacks up with some of the all time greats but once RB's start to get older though and the injuries pile up that's pretty much all she wrote. How many games has he played in the last 2 years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted May 10, 2017 He's probably done, but there's always a possibility with a guy like him. If not, the Broncos lose nothing for trying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
