fredtoast Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 I'll probably be repeating this a lot but. Gio starts the season on PUP. No way in hell Hill gets released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Even if Giouchie was 100%, no way Hill gets released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEarl Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Bernard starts or PUP or one of them gets hurt or both. Good to have options. If Hill doesn't perform again this year he will walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Based on all the reports and rumors, it doesn't sound like Gio is going to have to go on PUP. Seems like worst case is he'd miss the first few games, but just as likely he's ready to go Week 1. Still don't see any reason to cut Hill. He's cheap and we don't have any better options for the 3rd RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will end up being a real possibility depending upon how the numbers shake out. I assume they will keep Cedric Peerman as the 4th RB and if so, he'll be active because he's the special teams captain. Most seasons, they've only had 3 RBs on the active 45-man gameday roster so even though Hill would technically be ahead of Peerman on the depth chart, he would probably be the inactive RB due to special teams.

That was my thought as well. When/If Gio is 100%, and Mixon is carrying the load (which I think happens week 1), the 3rd active RB simply has to play special teams.
