[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 869308"] Taken in isolation, in the matter of extending rookie contract running backs, this is not a bad idea relative to a world of such bad ideas at the position, chiefly because of Jones' relatively light mileage through 3 season. Not previously mentioned is the fact that college mileage is also considered in the matter of shelf life. Jones' 729 college touches is neither light nor excessive. Compared to Jonathan Taylor, to take one example, his 968 college touches likely shaves a year off his pro carer relative Jones at the same starting point, assuming neither become one of those iron man exceptions which remains to be seen. After 3 knee sprains over his first 2 seasons, Jones trucked through 2019 without incident and upped his game, so that's a check mark in the plus column. However, these things are not taken in isolation. You can't bounce from one name to another and forget the previous one, a Clark extension for example. One thing I find a bit mysterious is the utter lack of discussion regarding extending Bakhtiari, also in a contract year like Clark and Jones. It's easy to talk about extensions with backloaded contracts that are 2020 cap-neutral, or even generate a little 2020 savings, but that comes home to roost as soon as year 2 of those contracts. For example, the big 4 free agents had a 2019 cap number in the aggregate of $23.4 mil. For 2020, it goes up to $48.5 mil. I'm going to bounce over to the salary cap thread and illustrate what the 2021 depth chart looks like for 2021 with the 30 guys currently under contract and the associated cap cost. That might help to illustrate the point. [/QUOTE]
