Bradshaw had an amazing year and can do everything you ask of him (block, run, and catch). Two issues is his age, he'll be 29 by March 19th, and his medical history. That isn't too old, considering he has never exceeded 300 carries a year, but the fact that he couldn't stay totally healthy for the past 4 years worries me. Considering the fact he ended 2013 with a neck injury, I would still be worrisome as well since one hit can re-aggravate it easily.

Vereen on the other hand I think wouldn't be sought out by say...Washington as their #1 RB whereas Ingram would. Vereen would work better in pass-oriented offenses for sure though since he is a threat catching or running, but his size is a worry for someone to be a primary RB.

Teams have seen what Ingram could do as the primary RB and although he does have an injury history (seems like its always toe), I think some team that wants a RB to build around would risk signing him over paying a boatload for Murray.

I just think Ingram finally getting the ok to be the primary ball carrier along with the lack of fumbles he's had in his career, some team is going to take a gamble on him to turn him into their RB.
