Based on how the league currently operates and how most teams do not pour significant resources into the TB position, I would say my thinking is pretty much in line with the majority of the NFL, brah.
What's at play here is that you guys latch onto players and get emotionally involved with these guys and then it's tough to understand the business and football operational sides of this. The NFL has shown you that you don't need a big time, high priced TB to win. You don't. That you don't need to invest resources into the TB position to win.
only because there was some year where they weren't taking them high, theres been resurgence and look at Bell, Gurley, David Johnson now and at one time AP got 11 per I believe and coming up will be Zeke, Founrette, and Saquan and all of them will get the double digit money.. just like other positions as the bigger young names come for their second contracts they will get it RB/TB is having an resurgence the last few years and the paychecks will show it IE Gurley, Bell and Johnson.. the reason its not as significant is theres a lot less of them to pay as opposed to DE, CBs, Safetys, and O/D Linemen..leave QB out of it its different zip code..
if Zeke wants more then Gurley I for sure would not want that kind of contract here , something similar maybe..same with Tank, Dak, and Amari..Cowboys need to be SMART, give them what they deserve but not make them the highest paid at their positions..that can cripple team cap..
