2012 Outlook
Depth Chart
Timing is everything and for Mendenhall, the torn ACL he suffered at the end of last season was the worst possible timing. Entering the final year of his rookie contract and having had three solid, yet unspectacular, seasons after a horrendous rookie campaign, Mendenhall will have little chance to earn a lucrative long-term contract extension in 2012 as he is likely to start the season on the PUP list. His best season came in 2010 when he ran for 1,274 yards and 13 touchdowns but averaged a less than stellar 3.9 yards per carry. Of course, his career average of 4.1 yards per carry can at least partially be laid at the feet of an offensive line that has struggled in recent seasons. Nonetheless, Mendenhall has not proven worthy of his 1st round draft status yet alone a lucrative contract so the Steelers aren’t going to be handing him his starting position back if Isaac Redman plays well. Let’s sum it up – Mendenhall needs to come back healthy, preferably early, and Redman needs to stink it up in order for him to get his job back. Oh, and he needs to be productive after suffering a torn ACL in Week 17. I’m not buying folks. I recommend you don’t either.

Comment: Don't count on Mendenhall (ACL) to play until October at the earliest.

Cardinals nab RB Mendenhall     -- Wed Mar 13 1:45 pm --

One-year deal
And Cardinals reached an agreement in principle on a one-year deal with former Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall. (Adam Schefter via Twitter)

FF Today's Take: The Cardinals were in the running back market after releasing Beanie Wells yesterday. Mendenhall tried to come back last season after tearing his ACL in early January of 2012. He never rushed for more than 50 yards in any game. He'll get a crack at the starting job in Arizona and will be reunited with Bruce Arians.
