This offseason, CMC, Cook and Kamara are literally going to say "Imagine your offense without me" and their teams will have to pay or try to win without their best offensive player. I can't imagine any of those franchises choosing that. Those backs might not hit Zeke's number as a % of cap , but they all have a heck of a lot more leverage than Melvin Gordon. Saquon can't do it until after next year, which I initially forgot...but I just think he's hurt. Like Zeke and the Cowboys, the Giants committed to his second contract the moment they drafted him. You simply can't walk away from a top-5 pick who is a great player after his rookie contract ends.
I just think this is a fascinating time for RBs - Gurley, Bell and Zeke all just got paid. In the next 2 offseasons CMC, Kamara, Cook, Saquon and Chubb are all eligible for extensions. If they are following Bell, Gordon and Zeke, all will be willing to hold out.
