Plug and play him week 1. Jacobs still getting paid as a top RB in 2023 compared to the rest of the league. Eckler is getting 6 million this season I would of preferred a deal worked out for 3 seasons but it is what it is. NFLPA is to blame on this Edited July 18, 2023 by bucksavage1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFLPA were more concerned with player safety and retired player benefits instead making sure positions didn’t get devalued in salary in the CBA. They saw this issue coming with RBs and chose not to do anything. Id personally like to see running backs not count against the salary cap or not have to wait 3 years for an extension Adding: the franchise tag has been an outdated function in roster building Edited July 18, 2023 by bucksavage1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Deebo count as a RB? Cordell Patterson? Lamar Jackson? It’s far too much of a slippery slope.

They were fulcrums of the offence but with the way the passing game has been catered to with QBs heavily protected and DBs nullified a lot then I guess that was always likely to happen. I’m not fond of the pass happy current NFL really but it’s hard to imagine a way that RBs will be highly valued again. I think maybe they should have a single player limit of something like 10% of the cap to even things out and spread the wealth but i can’t really envision how you create that value again unless you move back to run heavy offences. With every change there usually an unintended consequence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he’s read for 20 or so snaps for week 1 then go from there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
