If the Season were over today, would you resign Pollard?

There are very few RB's I would pay 10 million a year to. Besides this is his 5th year. Time to move on. Pay the line, not the back.

We should have taken a back THIS year. Hopefully we will take one in rounds 2-4 next season.
Should have drafted the speedster out of Texas a&m. Miami got him in the 3rd round. He would have given us comparable production to what Pollard did this year, at a fraction of the cost. It's dumb to pay rbs today, unless they are a generational talent. Pollard is not that. And neither was Zeke when we paid him.

Pollard is great, but not at 10 million. Perfect back in a two or 3 back committee.

Not a big Achane fan. I know he looked great the last two weeks, but he is basically running untouched in that offense.

Tank Bigsby was a guy I wanted, Roschon Johnson, Kendra Miller, Isreal Ibanakanda.

With notable few exceptions, RBs in this league has become a relatively-fungible commodity. If you have an O-line capable of opening holes, there are a slew of guys out there capable of running through them.

No! He’s excellent top RB, but do not pay any veteran RB a big contract, fair or not. Draft one and move on. It’s not that several of these vets aren’t worth it or don’t deserve it. But it’s money better spent elsewhere. Scat back, 3rd down back, power back, they are all available in later rounds.

As a Pollard supporter, I don't think the plan was to bring him back at the number he could demand. I think Dallas will draft a guy and move on.
Ugh... another 1st rd running back.

He looks to have no burst like he did before injury. I say no. Draft running back in later rounds

Depends on price and amount guaranteed. Not paying backs big money unless they are special and those are very rare.
