[Mazino]

Well deserved and its great to see RB's back in vogue

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

That's beautiful.

 

[Big Boss]

Dynasty coming

 

[PHamm]

By doing this they cut his cap hit next season in half.

Howie the GOAT.

[Jerz-2]

By doing this they cut his cap hit next season in half.

Howie the GOAT.

THE FREAKIN GOAT, ya heard?!

Also, this is one of those "duh-duh" moves. How can you NOT award this man when he's done THIS:

"(Barkley) saved his best for crunch time as he gained 1,245 rushing yards in the second half of regular-season games, the most by any NFL player since at least 1991. His second-half rushing yardage total alone would have ranked eighth in the league in total rushing yards.

 

[mozichrome]

1 heck of an investment

 

[Womb Raider]

Worth every penny and then some, they paid da man

 

[desjardins]

So how does this work, he was already on a 3yr $38mil contract, this contract overrides the last two years on that one or extends it by 2 years?

nvm: they don't have the numbers filled out yet but looks like it's an extension that moves guaranteed money up and has flexibility on the backend

[Piff Perkins]

Smartest GM in the league paying an elite RB (again). The last couple years have been rough for the most annoying (white) analytic nerds in football.


Elite players are elite players. You can't replace an elite CB with a random 5th round CB in the draft so why would the same apply to RB lol. Yet this is the logic that a lot of (white) nerds adhere to. And they've been giddy as fukk about it until Jahmyr and Bijan showed up and balled the fukk out. Now with Henry and Saquon going to great teams (with great o-lines) and dominating, the answer is clear. A special or elite RB can elevate a team that has a good-to-great offensive line.

 

[Reggie]

Glad they are valuing the running back position again like they always should have been.

 

[Mandizi]

not only a big deal for Quon and his family, but a big deal for his position counterparts

 

[PHamm]

What a classy organization.
