The RBs apparently had a conference call today. I am sympathetic to their annoyance, but they don’t seem to understand that the market just isn’t there and it kinda is what it is. They aren’t owed more than what market will bear. I am not sure what they want to happen? It’s not like 250 lb MLBs, the Steve Atwater type SS, and over the center NGs could control their fate either. The difference is these guys touch the ball so we notice this market dynamic more.
Agree that kids are going to try to shift to WR or defense. But then the kids that don’t are going to be so much better that they will be valued again.
That said QB-WR/TE skill set has improved exponentially due to a lot of factors including the infestation of spread and 7 on 7. Until something new and dynamic happens at RB
I could see how guys like Deebo, McCaffrey, Kamara and even Bijan could potentially create a “new” position that has some value.
