I would be very happy if we get him I think he would be a great backup for SJ

definition of injury prone. I want to see if injuries havent sapped his track star speed. If so I would bring him in for the vet minimum on a 1 yr prove it deal. Since he would be a cheaper signing I would still sign a guy like Jason Snelling or Ronnie brown who are guys who have proven they can carry the load and are also excellent passing down backs.

To be honest, Brown has been injured as often as Norwood has, and we haven't seen much of Snelling past a three-game stint when Michael Turner was hurt. Not the most solid proof in the world. Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer Brown and Snelling because of their passing-down strengths, but none of the backs reported to be on the Rams radar scream 'proven commodity' to me. If they did, I daresay they'd have contracts.
