If Chris Carson is done for the year, why hasn’t he been put on IR and why aren’t we hearing of any RB names to be brought in?

For the same reason the Hawks are sitting on 13mil cap space this year... no one knows.

Nothing had been done when I posted this thread. Carson still isn’t on IR.

I'd still like to see Collins get a chance to carry the load with consistent playing time and a committed run game.

Well, no reason to IR him until the roster spot is actually needed.

As for the $13 mill, I don't think they're gonna find any FAs that would turn this season around anyway. The season is basically tanked for now. I'm not a "suck for Luck" kind of guy so I'm not rooting for losing just to improve draft position. I never do that. Never. That money rolls over to next year, and without a #1 pick, I suspect it will come in useful in free agency or trade talks.

No, what this team needs to do is dig down and find their hearts and do their best to finish this season as strong as possible. The 'help' they need to find is within, not from outside. There will be turnover this off season and the guys better be thinking of their future by proving to the coaches that they're worthy of bringing back next year, or at least putting up some highlight films for their future evaluations.

If the team were to spend money, I'd look to CB, and there probably isn't any help on the market there, either.

The 13 mil was interesting, they have been sitting on it for a long time. As if they knew the season may go south, or they knew that Wilson will leave after the season.

Not sure if Jody or her boys were in on the not spending those 13 mil?

It carries over to next year at least. Look at the Saints those guys are always using every last penny on a yearly basis and they suck as a playoff team every year. This year no different. Carrying over cap is more important at this juncture
