You don't pay top 5 money for a guy that isn't even a top 10 back, and can't break 1,000 yards dominating the snap count on many other players.
13th in rushing.
33 yrds less than Melvin Gordon who makes the same on a 2 year deal.
Melvin Gordon is the only RB not on either a rookie deal or a massive contract that outgained him.
8th RB in rushing TDs. (more than Aaron Jones)
The most TDs of any RB not on a rookie deal or a massive contract.
So...your premise is just not relevant. No one is paying Drake top 5 money. It is not even a conversation as it would require him to make more than 12.6 mil per year.
He was 13th in rushing and 8th in rushing TDs so you can easily argue he was around a top 10 RB.
Most people aren't even arguing to re-sign him unless it is for like 3 or 4 mil which he will not likely want. It was a good deal. Drake served his purpose. Now, unless he takes a team friendly deal, we will move on as teams should with RBs.
