It's wild that the Franchise number for running backs is now less than 75% of what it is for safeties — $1 million less than it is for TIGHT ENDS.

It really goes to show how much the position has been downgraded over the past decade. A situation like this would have been unimaginable a generation ago.

Let's remember some running backs.

It weird as it's still a crucial offensive position but there is just so much supply. Runnings backs able to play in the NFL are plentiful every year and even 4th, 5th and 6th round guys can consistently make major contributions in year 1. How many positions can you say that about?

This is what I'll never understand. TB did it last year and LA is going to more than likely keep their SB team intact but somehow we are in really bad cap shape despite our QB being on a rookie deal....smh.

This. You don't have to sign cheaper, broken down vets to lower contracts because you don't have the cap space to sign the "premium" players. Teams like Rams/Cowboys do it every year.

Rams & Bucs have drafted well which helps compensate their spending.

As everyone here knows, Keim…..doesn’t.

Trade murray to J-Ville for Lawrence and a 1st, 3rd.

Then sign Allen Robinson

Sign Conner.
done

They would laugh us out of the building with that offer. We would be lucky to get Murray for Lawrence straight up.

Different point of views
Lawrence despite his long blonde hair and draft status showed nothing last season, very close to what Rosen did with us

Agree about Keim but drafting aside because they have to pay the guys they hit on in draft too. The contracts LA & TB gave out in past couple of years are cap eaters ($10M+)

LA - Donald, Whitworth, Ramsey, Stafford - Not even including guys like Woods & Floyd
TB - Getting relief this year with Brady retiring but will still need to find a QB but last year all these guys on roster - Brady, Donovan Smith, Shaquil Barrett, Godwin (franchise tag), Evans, Vea, Marpet

Obviously, LA & TB have a lot of re-structure options that can save them money but ARZ doesn't, well at least won't hit them with dead money as a result.

I'd happily give Robinson the money you'd spend on Kirk, Green and Isabella.

Report: Saints, Tyrann Mathieu share ‘mutual’ interest ahead of free agency

If the Saints lose Marcus Williams in free agency, teaming up with Tyrann Mathieu could be in the cards. C.J. Gardner-Johnson sure hopes so, via @RossJacksonNOLA:

I don't see Honey Badger going to a team with no shot for a few years like the Saints.

 

[football karma]

keep your eyes on Zadarius Smith, pass rusher cut by GB. As a cut player, he wouldnt count against the compensation pick formula.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I don't see Honey Badger going to a team with no shot for a few years like the Saints.

I absolutely do if it is the Saints. Money plus get to play at home? That is enough.

Good point - playing at home but how are they going to pay him and wouldn't he want another chance at a ring?

More than money? Not in this stage of his career IMO.

Are they forgetting Mahomes deal?

Per year average.
