It’s not personal. It’s strictly business.

I think there's a real fairness-based case to be made in terms of exempting them from the franchise tag and I'd be in favor of it. That said, I doubt it'll ever develop traction.
It seems to me that RBs should be wanting the franchise tag at this point. 1 year, $10M guaranteed? The best non-franchise player RB contract handed out this year was for Miles Sanders and it was like 4 years for $25M, $13M guaranteed.

You'd have to throw it in there that their rookie contract is higher to make it matter, since most are worn out by the end of that contract.

Skyy God is either Carrington Harrison or a massive fanboy of his. Repeating things nearly word for word that Cdot said on radio yesterday.

But that’s largely because the best RBs were the ones who were tagged and thus didn’t get to hit the open market.

The gap between Saquon and Sanders is huge.

If you actually take a deep dive into it, RB's get paid very similar to Centers and Tight Ends...

They're basically pissed off they got passed up by WR's in the payscale, well junior the game changed.

It’s a passing league. The only RBs that are worth anything significant are the triple threat ones that can run catch and protect the ball. All at elite levels.

Austin Ekeler is bitching and he did catch 100 balls last year....the funny thing though Ekeler only got a shot because Gordon bitched about money so he was replaced...Ekeler is literally bitching about the system that gave him his chance.

Absolutely yes. Mahomes factor has trinkled down to the RB position. I absolutely think that's why.

Yeah, that's... yeah, no.

But what about the punters? They should make more money!
