I don't know what is going to happen with Reggie, but Seam Payton and Loomis have both said they want to retain him. That depends, of course, on Reggie restructuring for considerably less than the 11.8 he is dues to make this year. RB has previously said that he wants to stay and that he understands that will mean taking less. It was very clear that, at least at the time, he appreciated his value was nowhere near that mark.
Having said that, we will have a crowded backfield with RB, Ingram, PT and Ivory. That's not say we would not carry all four, but I know that RB has to be concerned about his touches.
Having said that, RB brings a lot of value to the team that doesn't show up in his stats. I used to scoff at the notion that he was all that valuable as a "decoy," but when you study the way Payton uses him to both effect defenses and to get reads on defenses you realize that it is true. One thing that RB does well that surprises people is to provide good pass protection. He is actually very good at picking up on what the defense is doing and getting in position to make that block. Surprising I know.
