DawgX Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Very interested to see where Hunt goes. His play has fallen off a bit this year, but I think he could still be a good back somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that situation is just a lock for the franchise tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe RBs are starting to be viewed as more valuable after years of being undersold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that situation is just a lock for the franchise tag Here is the actual quote from Mike Garafolo. I haven’t heard this, so I had track it down. These rumors just spread like wildfire. Quote We do have Saquon Barkley who is due for a deal after the season. The Giants and Saquon Barkley’s representatives did have contract talks during the bye week but they tabled them until the offseason. From what I gathered they were pretty good discussions and gave a good starting point for where these conversations are going to be in the offseason. If he thinks he’s going to make Christian McCaffrey money upwards of $16 million a year it’s not going to get done. But if he wants to get north of where Dalvin Cook is in the 12-range, a little bit above that, then yeah I think a deal gets done. These are the two guys with the Giants that have laid the ground work to be hold-overs from the previous regime that are going to get long term deals to remain Giants with the new regime.” https://www.nj.com/giants/2022/12/giants-had-pretty-good-contract-discussions-with-saquon-barkley-christian-mccaffrey-or-dalvin-cook-money-coming.html https://youtu.be/HBu_q1g-xME 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 This is probably the real test on how the league FOs view the position - there are some three down/franchise RBs in there, and you’ll probably see a few extra names join this list (Zeke Elliott is all but guaranteed to be joining this list). Each name has a concern to it, it seems - should be interesting to see how the money plays out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I could see several of those names getting the Tag instead of committing long term. It really does suck how Shafted the RB position gets, contractually. Especially given the average RB career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he has a good agent who wont lie to him and say that hes worth more than 12-14m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamq Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 How much will Jimmy G get paid? I feel like plenty of teams will come calling if he stays healthy, win or lose in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I expect them to let Kareem Hunt walk after his half hearted effort this year. I’d love for them to give a guy like Penny a look.

Yeah, I feel like most of the names that actually hit FA are gonna be guys who have been backups or stuck in committees that haven't gotten a real shot at a workhorse role. Not gonna waste a franchise tag on a backup RB lol. I'd rather be a high end RB2 and actually make it to the negotiating table more often than not.

HoboRocket Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Kinda wanna see Sneed/McVay counter Lynch/Shanahan's McCaffrey with an acquisition of Barkley. Cardinals already have an injury-prone dual threat RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts him around 14th to 17th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
