that's a lot of mileage. hopefully he doesnt break down as fast as michael turner did for the falcons. IIRC MT had a couple of really productive years then went downhill rather quickly.

One of the many reasons you NEVER take an RB at the top of the draft.
There are plenty of guys that can be productive whilst still on their rookie deals. When they graduate to that next deal, make sure you've drafted his replacement the year before.

I would draft LT & extend again. He set the TD record in his 6th year. The contracts are cheaper with rookies, obviously, but some individuals are too good to let go too soon.

LT was a very special RB.
If a FO can not see it.
They don't deserve to be FO.

Joshua Kelley also played 2 seasons at UC Davis. Between UC Davis & UCLA he carried the ball 647 times in college,

Ryan Mathews only carried the ball 534 times at Fresno and Melvin Gordon 631 times at Wisconsin.

Thanks for the correction. Respect.

maybe they need special rules just for running backs since their average nfl lifespan is 8-10 years. I say you get max 3 years on contract with no franchise tagging and eligibility for free agency after their 3rd season. Just to be fair...other players in the nfl have a 12-15 year timeline if their good.

unless you're frank gore and then you outlive most QBs.
