Even in a down season, Carson would have been the best running back on the Steelers. Pittsburgh needs a back that can generate yards on the ground and a cost-efficient option since the Steelers have to retain key pieces on their offensive line.

That's where Carson comes in, adding excellent value to an offense that already has , , and .The Buccaneers will look to retain their own players first. They could be players for Carson if he is still on the market past the first wave of free agency. A one-year deal may be right in Tampa Bay's ballpark.3.

Buffalo's running game was subpar in 2020, as and combined for 1,168 yards and four touchdowns (and those numbers would have been worse if wasn't a dual-threat quarterback).

Carson would be the No. 1 starter in Buffalo, allowing Singletary to concentrate on the pa sing game. Mo s would be relegated to a reserve rule and showed flashes in his rookie year, but adding Carson is a win-now move for a team on the verge of reaching the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1993 season.The Bills don't have much cap space to make a run at Carson in the first wave of free agency, but Carson won't break Niklas Kronwall Jersey the bank either.
