This is the perfect year to go out and get one of the top 5 RBs of the past 10 years. MJD probably could be had but hes under contract. Then there is Ray Rice, Gore, Peterson, and well Lynch but he wont come back. Out of the available i think that Gore is the best fit. Big strong pure power back who fights for every inch. Rice, Peterson than MJD would be my order

2) Peterson- obviously a great player who will command a high salary, comes with baggage and will likely want to go to a big market team- like the Cowboys.
3) Gore- near the tail end of his career. Sure he's still serviceable and productive but do we really need to invest money into an aging back and how is this an improvement over Fred Jackson?
4) MJD- this guy is done like Thanksgiving dinner. You can find a better running back practically anywhere.
Improve the line first- this should be the first order of business...

Patterson if he comes at 4 mil. Otherwise mid round, or later, backs turn into studs all the time."Heck, now I am glad his overrated arce made the pro bowl, else we would have only got a 3rd." ~ yordad

Re: 5 RBs that we could get
Free agent halfbacks are one of the worst investments you can make. Peterson would be the only one I'd even take a look at (well, Lynch too but he wouldn't look back). I would be ok with a younger FA or adding a late round back to the 3 guys we have on the roster for next year.

Re: 5 RBs that we could get
Just pick up an average run of the mill bulldozer half back...they're all over the place and are available every year.
In short yardage situations, instead of giving the ball to Fred to get pounded or to CJ to watch him dance like a fool, give it to the big guy and tell him his only job is to take the hand off, put your head down and go straight.
That's all this team really needs at the RB position anyway.

And maybe there are some murders, felons, and child abusers that you overlooked.
