Not saying we should sign him just I could see Kubiack going for it.

If you're of the mind that we'll sign a verteran to pair with a mid-round rookie I think Dunn is the perfect candidate for that; he's presumably cheap, he has a history with Gibbs, he's of high character, and he's a veteran. He rushed for nearly 800 yards last season and caught nearly 50 passes, so he has something left in the tank.

I really think he's the perfect 3rd down/back-up back for us next season.

Dunn the player isn't the problem. I would be concerned about his age of course, but if the contract was cheap enough I wouldn't mind. It all comes down to the contract.

I had to double check, but Chris Brown is still on the roster so my guess is that Kubiak is going to give him one more shot in training camp. I would think they will add at least one back in the draft. Moats contributed enough last year to deserve a solid chance to compete for a roster spot as well. I'm not sure how many RB's Kubes usually brings to camp, but I could see him going either way...a vet like Dunn or a youngster.
