Jamaal Charles (RB)
I know, I know. Hear me out. I wanted to go with CB Nickell Robey-Coleman here to add to the slot corner competition, but then I decided to go with the ridiculous option. Because why not?
Don’t get me wrong, Jordan Howard is the unquestioned starter. He took hold of the starting job last year and literally ran with it en route to a Pro Bowl nod and second place in the race (get it?) for the NFL rushing title. He, in no way, will be relinquishing that job to anybody.
But with his bruising, grinding style comes a need for a change-of-pace back that screams Jamaal Charles. Jeremy Langford and Ka’Deem Carey are fine, but I’m dizzy thinking of the possibilities with Charles coming in to spell Howard. Or, better yet, two-back sets. That would be so much fun to watch.
If Chicago can get him on a cheap-ish one-year deal, sign him up. Because, like I said, why the hell not?
