Any feel for what these two backs will be next season? Backups or starters or time share ? I am most interested in Rawls as M. Lynch probably won't be back this year and he is definitely starting to slow down as predicted with the injury and more are sure to follow. Comments from former players referring to P Manning indicate that the older a player gets the harder it is to recover and the frequency seems to increase. I know Seattle worked out a new money deal but not sure for how long. He has surprised before but I believe Seattle may now feel they finally have his replacement. J. Charles has more tread on the tires as he has missed 1 1/2 seasons in the last 5, and at age 28 still likely to be number 1 again. I am pondering this as I am debating who I need to cut loose, C. West or L. Murray to add Rawls as 6 RB ion my roster is too many plus he appears too good to pass up.
Tough to know for sure, but I will say that I think both Lynch and Charles will be the starters if they are healthy and on their respective rosters. If I was putting money on it, I would bet that Lynch is the more likely of the two to either be hurt or off the roster come 2016, making Rawls the better keeper right now. I definitely wouldn't cut loose Murray.
