If he doesn't show up the first week of camp he has to repeat the last year of his contract just like Chris Jones. So his leverage is even lower.

I don't know. If it is all rookie contracts it should not.

Good. Hope he becomes the highest paid back in the league and sucks up their cap for years.

If I was a good team I'd have no issue in spending a low 1st on a running back.
I'd treat them as a disposable talent. Never give one a second contract unless its on the cheap. |

But even with that, I'd probably just hold off and grab one in the 2nd or 3rd. If i'm a good team and have good coaching, i'll go cheap at RB and manage |

I'm actually more scared of Ekeler than Gordon

You should be. He was the more productive back per carry. As a rookie UDFA.

The only time I would take a RB in the first round is if I’m picking late and an elite level talent falls to me.
I don’t want to draft an elite talent early and fall into the trap of giving them the big second contract. If I’m already a contender, then I’m not as worried about it. I would never take a RB under any circumstance in the top half of the first round. There’s always another position with better longevity available early. |

I've actually come around on taking a RB in the 1st, mostly because of the 5th year option.
Not in the top 10, and only if you have a QB and are ready to contend - but take the RB, franchise him for his 6th year, then let them walk. |

Now, if I were a GM, if Gordon came up to me with the demands he gave the Chargers, I'd say, "That's nice, sweetie" and trade the guy's ass. The market is shit, so I still might not get a decent return for the trade, but I got my good player for a couple years, got some draft picks in return to spend on more young players, and best of all, I'm more than likely still going to come out on top, because the RB's replacement will probably be just fine. |

If you're looking at an elite talent high up and you've got a QB, I mean yeah do it. It made sense to take EE to take the load off Tony Romo and keep that Offense clicking. He just happened to be totally broke the **** down and lucky for them they accidentally fell into Dak Prescott, who is ok.
This conversation would be different if it were a team like the Colts that selected Barkley. |
