[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 871729, member: 13032"] This an interesting argument HRE. I‘do actually be ok with paying Jones a max of $8 mil/per. And it’s logical based on your argument. But FA doesn’t revolve as much around logic as it does teams willing and able to overpay for a position. From the RBs perspective, it therefore makes sense to see what the market is actually paying. Ekeler and McCaffrey are at extremes along a straight line. Given his production, and comparing his output against guys like McCaffrey, there would be plenty of teams willing to bid Jones up well north of $10 mil/year. No RB is “worth” that kind of money, but the market is the market. The best strategy then is to draft a RB almost every year. I mean Jones was taken in the 5th round I think. This is the reality we live in, where $$$ replace logic. Looking ahead (and assuming we have a season), if Jones continues at his current level of production, he’ll easily command north of $10 mil/year. I’ve said it before - overpaying for an NFL RB is like overpaying in MLB for a pitcher. The positions are extremely important to a team’s success. The positions are also the most likely to face injury. If we lose Jones, we lose Jones. I also think the running game is a necessary component of every team’s game plan, from tactical and strategic points of view. GB will likely lose Jones in FA next year. Gluten needs to draft a replacement this year, rolling the dice a bit in the process. [/QUOTE]
