I assume he literally means Watkins' money rather than Watkins-like money.

He's a human gyroscope. I mentioned that in the short touchdown that he got (I think) three weeks ago where he was on the sideline and some dude threw himself against him. I have no idea how he didn't go out of bounds, and not only that, but his path didn't even change. He just kept going and scored.

I agree. No need to resign him. Enjoy him for the next 2 years then find another. Mahomes is going to earn the biggest contract in NFL history when his time comes and RB is a position you can and should go cheap in.

It's really uncanny to watch. Spencer Ware is a fine back. But I see so many times he gets stuffed where I think Hunt would have shaken it off - even though it's still not completely obvious to me how Hunt is doing it. |

He's also gonna have the resume of a $14 million/season running-back. I just don't see how you do it unless we get a LOT better at drafting defense. And I don't mean nice enough role players - we'd need to draft at least one Pro Bowl caliber defender and have him on a rookie deal for the duration of the Hunt extension to make that feasible, IMO. I'd like to keep him - sure. But I don't see a way to maintain any sort of defense, a quality OL with at least a little veteran stability, Mahomes, Hill, Hunt and Kelce. You can scrimp and save here and there, but 'give him Watkins' money' isn't gonna work when Mahomes is making more than any other player in football. It's going to be a very different world then. I don't see a way to keep Hunt in it. With his running style, it may not be wise either way.

Even with last year, I wasn't super sold on him. I knew he was good but there are plenty of good running backs. This year I've seen him just wreck people. He runs hard, aggressive, with power and elusiveness. He's damn good and better than I thought.

And for a couple weeks to start the year, I didn't see a need to re-evaluate. But damn, he looked amazing yesterday.

Such a beast, but I still struggle with paying him too much. Reid has shown the ability to find and develop offensive weapons in the mid-late rounds. As violent as he runs, I’d be very cautious about what money you spend on him.
Absolutely love what he brings to this offense though. |

Really? Marginalizing Hunt 7 games into his second season?
This kid is special. He punishes people. He's not going anywhere, anytime soon. |
