SJax gone, Smith and Quizz are UFA's, and I seriously doubt we re-sign both.
Freeman fits Shannahan's zone-blocking scheme much better than our man-blocking we were doing. He's shifty and can burst through holes as they open. No more lining up 8 yards behind the LoS and waiting for our OL to create a hole. There will be a lot more lateral runs and multiple cuts. Freeman should thrive in this.
Quizz should too, except he's just so damn slow, so I don't know if we re-sign him. Antone Smith is a 1-cut back, but he can get in space ridiculously fast. Although he is recovering from a broken leg, so not sure about him either.
I'd like to pick up CJ Spiller in FA and then draft a big back like TJ Yeldon or Mike Davis around the 4th round. But I'm pretty certain we're going to draft a RB at some point no matter what.

Looks like we just released Justin Blalock now too. So there's another $3.8M added to our cap space. We're at $30M under the cap right now. Holy shite.
