Lets look at the top running back contracts:
Henry's contract shows running backs aren't getting 15m per season anymore, but I do think Zeke was running like the group of 12m APY running backs before the PCL. The thing is at every other stage in the last 3 years his production IMO belongs squarely in line with the 6-7m APY category, maybe with a slight premium due to his great blocking and locker room presence.
Looking forward at Zeke's base salary:
- McCaffrey 16m per season
- Kamara 15m per season
- Ezekiel Elliott 15m
- Gurley got 14.5m per season
- Dalvin Cook 12.6m
- Derrick Henry 12.5m
- Aaron Jones 12m
- Nick Chubb 12m
- Joe Mixon 12m
- Leonard Fornette 7m
- James Connor 7m
- Austin Ekeler 6.2m
