What about Turner?

That said, I'd love to see him in Atlanta.

We cut him two weeks ago as his price was too high and he failed his physical.
As long as Beanie is in shape, can pass his physical and doesn't mind a shared workload with Quizz, he would be a good addition. Cheaper than Stephen Jackson too with less wear and tear.

Beanie in Atlanta would be brutal.

Miami would be a great fit also with Lamar Miller as the speed back taking over Reggie Bush' role this season. Daniel Thomas is hurt more than Beanie was and hasnt really panned out.

Bengals, Steelers interested in Beanie Wells
March, 12, 2013
By Jamison Hensley | ESPN.com

Former Cardinals running back Beanie Wells has drawn interest from the Steelers and Bengals, a source told ESPN.com.

The Steelers are looking for a featured back, but they don't have much salary-cap room to spend on a high-profile one. The Bengals are looking to add another running back to go with BenJarvus Green-Ellis, although it was assumed they would pursue a more explosive runner.

Wells, 24, a first-round pick in 2009, was cut by the Cardinals on Monday. He fell out of favor in Arizona because he couldn't stay healthy.

Wells' power running style would seem to suit the Steelers, who are expected to let Rashard Mendenhall go elsewhere in free agency. That leaves the Steelers with an underwhelming group of Jonathan Dwyer, Isaac Redman and Baron Batch.

In 2011, his best season in the NFL, Wells rushed for 1,047 yards and 10 touchdowns. Last season, he was limited to eight games due to a turf toe injury and was benched in late December.

In his four-year NFL career, Wells has averaged 4.0 yards per carry and has only three 100-yard rushing games.
