LaGarrette Blount is genuinely sloooooooow.
Spencer Ware and Kareem Hunt are just very similar players. Now if this is a sign that they intend to move on from Ware after this season, then so be it. I'd have no problem not giving Ware a long-term contract with his running style.
But this guy isn't an upgrade on Ware and I don't see him as a complement to Ware either. He's just a guy that can share the workload with Ware and in the process give you a very similar level of production. Perhaps that's their thought; give Ware help and he won't hit that wall that he hit last season.

That's exactly what I think it is. They can swap Ware and Hunt out and they don't have to change the offense or give anything away.
