What the Super Bowl teams are paying their RB Positions

Gross.

 

[MarcusRock]

We get it. It was a bad contract. Nothing you can do about it now except learn from it ......... and make Pollard the highest paid RB ever! Lol.

 

[Ken]

This is why I am totally fine with blowing up our RB room and drafting a couple in the draft.

 

[Silver N Blue]

time for Malik Davis RB1 to emerge

 

[Mr_437]

Money well spent.
Now franchise TP or strike a deal.

 

[jwitten82]

No more long term contracts for running backs

Zeke had one good year since he was extended. Horrible deal

The Chiefs spent a 1st rounder on Clyde Edwards Helaire a few years ago and he has not shown much. They drafted Pacheco in the 7th round and already has proven to be the better player.

Zeke was such a terrible pick...and because they took him so high, they were going to extend him for sure. All that for only four years of worthy production. He needed to have a Derrick Henry-like career to justify everything they spent on him.

Yep. Bank on it!

A perfect example of the many horrible resource allocation decisions the general manager has made. The GM has a flawed philosophy about team construction.

edit to add: It's not just about dollars either, it's also about draft capital.

This is why I would give Pollard a franchise tag in a heartbeat, but I'm tapping the breaks on a long term deal. 1 year of a high salary wont kill you, but you need to have a replacement ready to go for 2024.

This team will never learn. Jerry will continue running it like he does. Why change when he has the most valuable franchise on the planet?

Fans never learn either....they keep coming back.

I agree. Release Zeke, Tyron and let Shultz walk and tag Pollard. Then draft another back in the mid rounds.

Owners benefit on the 1st contract.

Players benefit on the 2nd contract.

He tore his leg up.

That speed is not the same now.

10,000 all purpose yards is not a wasted pick.

 

[big dog cowboy]

We get it. We knew it was coming. Can't change the past. Now moving forward:

Sign Pollard, draft one early, keep Davis.

He broke his leg and had a ankle sprain. Once healed, how is his speed not the same?
