We have a lot of RB's and Winston was signed late. I pray he clears waivers so he can be added for the practice squad.

The Cleveland Browns have signed former #49ers RB Glenn Winston.

We do NOT have a lot of RB's.... especially after this year.
1. Both Gore and Hunter are free agents after this year.
2. Gore will not be re-signed. He will probably retire after this year.
3. Hunter will be coming off another major injury.
I doubt the coaches will want to re-sign him when they can draft a healthy rookie.
4. Lattimore is still up in the air. They just put him on the PUP list so we still don't know how his knee will hold up long term.
5. LMJ has two years left on his deal
I think he gets like 1.5 million, if we keep him next season
Like I said before, Ellington is a much more explosive punt and kick returner than LMJ
Plus LMJ has fumble issues b/c of his dislocated elbows (plural)
We could have made Ellington the primary & Parrish Cox the secondary returner
LMJ doesn't really fit our system. The coaches (Roman) don't use him correctly
He is an average runner up the middle
We don't use him in space, we rarely do screens plays, etc
Also don't forget he was constantly talking shit on twitter
He's really not happy being here so I doubt that he will want to resign
6. From what I've seen...
Winston had a good combo of patience, burst, vision, decision making
He runs low and is a one cut runner, similar to Carlos Hyde
Same size & everything
He looked to be the perfect RB for our power running game
He just didn't look like your average rookie
