If you consider Charles a top 3 RB, he should be paid like one, 10+ million plus like AP and CJ. And we got him on ****ing chump change.
Same with DJ before he started making pro bowls and really peaked.
Same with Flowers, 7 million for a #1 lockdown CB. Good luck finding that anywhere else.
Its about getting him contract security before he really breaks out, becomes top 3 at his position and you have to pay out the ass. This happens all the time in the NFL, guys getting locked up mid season.

Yeah sure, but it DOESN'T happen a whole lot more than it does happen. If Houston was wise and wanted to maximize his earning potential, he'd bet on himself and play another season under his rookie deal. And Flowers averages 8 mil a season which was a top 5 contract when he signed it.
