We’re not far from the 2017 NFL Draft and Jamaal Charles still doesn’t have a job. He has one known visit and that’s to the Seattle Seahawks. Other than that, there hasn’t been much Jamaal Charles news. It’s not just him, it’s veteran backs (like Adrian Peterson) who don’t seem to have much of a market.
If Jamaal has trouble finding work now, it’ll be tough to play a couple more years, which is what current Chiefs RB Charcandrick West thinks he can do.
RB Charcandrick West sorry to see Jamaal Charles leave but thinks he has a couple of more years to play at high level.

I really want Jamaal to get a full training camp and an honest look from some team. He’s a risk, yes. Multiple knee surgeries can tell us that. But he’s not that old and those injuries means he has fewer career carries so less wear and tear.
The odds are against it happening but I would love if West was right and Jamaal plays well for another couple years ... as long as it’s not for Oakland or Denver.
