Only way is with injury which can happen with any back, luckily his handcuff will probably be undrafted. He's the unquestioned #1 guy. Link to post Share on other sites

DeliciousGravy 249 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 $100 for him, $100 for Lamar, bunch of waiver-wire superstars, see you in the finals. (I'm being facetious but in this uncertain economy CMC is like the $US) Link to post Share on other sites

Does the old saying of not being smart to pay RBs big money still apply here? Or is CMC the exception to the rule? Why not make him play out his rookie contract, franchise tag him back to back years and then sign him to a short term team friendly deal or draft his replacement and move on? That would make the most sense from a business perspective, no? Edited April 8, 2020 by DerrickHenrysCleats Link to post Share on other sites

Which almost never pans out ... especially toward the backend of said contract, where production starts to dip heavily. With that being said , I believe generational talents like Saquon & McCaffrey could be the ones to buck that trend. These are the RB’s who can make something out of nothing. Regardless of QB play, bad O-lines , weak offenses, etc.. You could throw King Hendry in the conversation as well , but I view him more as a Physical Freak of Nature , the likes which we have never seen; with that Rhino size + speed. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

As has been covered countless times, the major difference between Henry and them is the lack of involvement in the passing game. More complete backs should demand a higher salary.

And I’m sure it will result in a much higher annual salary than Saquon and Christian will command in 2020. Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad TEN disagrees with you. They’re smart enough to know that Henry isn’t worth a multiyear deal. He is the perfect player to franchise and run into the ground. Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not denying that Mularkey’s stubbornness with respect to Robiskie and other coaches didn’t factor into the decision. I’m simply pointing out that Henry was being utilized as a true bell-cow down the final stretch of Mularkey’s tenure. His firing wasn’t due to any reluctance to feed Henry the ball.
