Browns Target Tyler Allgeier for RB Depth

0:00On March 7th, the Cleveland Browns are building their running back group around young star Quinchin Juckins, who set to lead the way under new coach, Todd Moken. Juckins wrap last season with 827 rushing yards, and seven touchdowns at 3.6 yards per carry, despite a latent. Ankle injury, fellow rookie Dylan Samson figures to add speed and pass-catching skills, but the team might chase a veteran to replace Jerome Ford. Tyler Algear, from the Atlanta Falcons, stands out as a free agent fit. The 25-year-old has 2,876 career rushing yards at 4.3 yards per carry over four seasons, mostly, spelling Bijon Robinson. Last year, he managed 514 yards on 143 carries with a career high 8 touchdowns. Fans and analysts see Augerier as a bruising short yardage option to pair with Juckins, but his weak receiving game draws comparisons to Najee Harris, who signed a one-year deal worth $5.25 million.

1:03Experts predict Algear might settle for under $5 million annually amid competition from backs like Travis Etienne and Kenneth Walker. That said, Algear's snap share hovered around 25-30% lately, so he'd thrive in a rotational role without eating into Juckins' workload. His market could cool due to limited catches, 18 or fewer per season, making him affordable depth. While a better receiver like Kenneth Gainwell temps, the Browns prioritized their offensive line and free agency, and the draft. They could roll with Juckkins and Samson if both stay healthy, or snag a budget vet like Algear for stability heading into training camp.
