NoSaint Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 4 years better than the 6 zeke got. And the dude takes less of a beating. Likely won’t live up to it but unlikely it’s a train wreck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The only thing about this if he could be the best slot receiver in the nfl if he really wears down at Rb. This guy is the ultimate weapon. Loved him since Stanford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I’m curious about the timing of this deal. He still had two years left on his deal. Were they worried about a holdout? Of all positions that take a beating and fade out, why post up more money earlier than you have to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Stare Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 He’s been great, but that’s a lot of scratch for a RB. You can maybe argue timing of the deal with two years left on his old deal, but not sure what choice they had. Hoping it works out better for everyone involved (team and player) than some of these other top RB contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't many dollars better spent in the NFL in then last 2 years. Huge impact player---at a fraction of what, for instance, the Bears are tying up in a Khalil Mack... 1 hour ago, DJB said: Paying an RB top notch money coming out of their rookie contract is a recipe for disaster If you never saw him play or even heard of him before this thread, this might be a semi-rigid take... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I don't know why they would sign this extension now but it seems fair value for the dual threat dynamic back he is, he also doesn't have the knee history of Gurley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I exactly follow but I'll go with more info to back my point Shaun Alexander L Bell T Gurley D Johnson 4 guys off the top of my head who were at one time elite only to fail to come anywhere close to elite production after their rookie contracts. I'm not arguing that McCaffrey will fall flat on his face, more so that to take extreme caution when paying one top $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your education: McCaffrey, in 3 seasons, has almost 3000 yards rushing, over 2500 yards receiving and 39 TDs. But, yeah, he's just another overpaid RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurley was always known to have knee issues that could be a problem.

Doc Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Worth it. Averaged almost 150 yards/game last year. For comparison's sake, Michael Thomas, the top WR last year, average 107 yards/game. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
