that is depressing, i would have rather them gone with Ingram. Vereen is like a a very very poor man's Woodhead, and they were already talking about how he could replace Faulk's role. I don't even think he has the skillset to be as good as Kevin Faulk. Where does that leave Woodhead who was a much better version of Faulk? An afterthought after putting up 1,000 from scrimmage with 5.6 ypc?
Veeren is not that fast, agile, and terrible balance as well as ball security. You couldve gotten a better back in Chase Reynolds imo. Chase is a little smaller but could easily add 10 to 20 pounds with an NFL training regimen. He would be a poor man's Woodhead, he has the hands and his agility is good but nowhere near the elite level of Woodhead, so more of running style of Green-Ellis, could replace either of them if they needed to, and he wouldn't have cost a 2nd.
