Etienne is still too valuable and important a part of our O to let go.

You draft or bring in priority UFA almost every year. You are always looking to replace with younger and cheaper and it’s a position that you rotate the players.

You take a chance on UFA at RB and see what they can offer but we'd be very lucky to find one that offers Etienne's production. I completely get the leagues attitude towards RB's but I disagree that the position isn't as important anymore. An RB that can break tackles and get 1st downs make a huge difference over the course of a season, especially in January when the weather becomes a factor.

I'm not saying we pay Etienne crazy money but I would keep him and if we find strong competition it's a win win.
