Do you think Miami will stick with the current set or will they hit the Free agent market .  here are some RB's that will up in the free agent market.

Ben Tate will join a running-back market that includes

Darren McFadden, Maurice Jones-Drew, Rashad Jennings and perhaps even Chris Johnson.

Miller is safe. Thomas could be sent packing but he hasn't played awful this year considering the Fins o-line play. I could see Thomas sent packing though and someone else being brought in

I'm not a fan of paying big for RBs in the FA market. I'd rather drop a few middle round picks on young legs instead...

Those guys listed at the beginning of this thread probably won't command big money.  They are either washed up, injury prone, or haven't proven themselves.  I'd take McFadden and hope he can stay healthy

McFadden will cost far more than a 2nd or 3rd round pick's salary, and has far more injury concerns than the draft pick.

Cost aside, I wouldn't even waste a roster spot on McFadden. His most consistent contribution to an organization is disappointment.
