Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 658564">Chris Johnson is now CJ800 at best under a mandatory reduced snap count, providing he can play at all, and with his gradual decline from blazing to ordinary speed, his receiving numbers have crashed and his TD count has been low the last 2 seasons.  If that's not enough, he ended the season on IR with a broken tibia.Arian Forster's 2015 season ended in October with a torn Achilles.  That bears repeating...he's an 8th. year running back with 1,500 career carries coming off an Achilles.In fact, I see the odds of these guys being done altogether as being greater than surpassing Starks' 2015 productivity.You guys are looking too much at what these guys once were, and not enough at where they are now.  Then there's the risk they wouldn't quite mesh with the Packers blocking schemes providing they can even still play.Starks cap number for 2016 is $2.25 mil.  That's pretty good, in fact, for a low mileage guy coming off a good season running and receiving who's a fairly decent blocker, while having the added advantage of ending the year injury free.  For 2017, his deal has a manageable $750,000 dead cap, while cutting him would yield $3 mil in cap savings, so there's an out if he doesn't have a good follow-up year in 2016.The complaints about this deal are exaggerated.That said, even with Lacy and Starks, the Packers need another RB, and I'd like to see a little more effort put into it than a UDFA.</blockquote>
