Moore is definitely worth noting for the receivers. Sure he was out 3 games, but the snap count is definitely low compared to seasons past even in games he participated.

With Morgan coming back and us potentially grabbing a new WR/playmaker - it could be Colston, Stills, Morgan, and [insert new WR here] as your big 4.

For Moore's production, 5mil is hefty, but if we can lower his contract down to what we'd lose in cap (i believe 2.35mil) it wouldn't be a bad option. Who knows what this FO might do, we might not even draft a WR for all we know.

For the RBs: Ingram + robinson need more time this offseason to practice catching out of the backfield. Ingram caught 32 balls in his heisman campaign year. TRich caught similar numbers to Ingram in college yet he caught 51 balls in cleveland's system last year.

I honestly don't see why they can't be viable options in the future in regards to filling the PT role either - maybe not full time this upcoming year, but definitely a lot more than this past year.

The sproles role is a bit difference since he lines up everywhere and he's more 'shifty' than any other RB we have. A prospect, DeAnthony Thomas in later rounds might change this in a year+ as well. I wouldn't mind going into '15 season with Ingram, DeAnthony Thomas, and robinson as our 3 rotation. Re-do the old days of PT, bush, and bell.
