How to Fix the RB Compensation Issue

[dieterbrock]

I can't give you an illustration of how it does work because we currently have the system we have. It's impossible for me to give you an example of it working, because the market created by the cap and franchise tag is what we're working with.

I also pointed out another reason the tag value is low.. we're just not seeing as many elite backs today.. so that top tier isn't deep enough with elite contracts to bring the value up. I bolded your part with that because I'm agreeing with that being a factor with the low franchise number.

Anyway, I get it, you disagree and think I'm factually wrong. Okay.

I just don't see it the same way.

This is the flaw in your theory, the franchise tag for an RB can only help raise salaries, cant detract from it.
There is a disparity in pay among the position, but its not due to franchise tags or 5th year options.
Every position has it's drop off point in salary, RB is around #10, TE #15-20, OT/OG #30, C #15-20, QB #15-20
It's also no secret that the highest paid RB's all got their big contract from re-signing with their own team. And in most cases, they got the big contract not in their last year but a season prior.
So the common thread I see among the 3 franchise RB is that each of them had monster '22 seasons, but questionable 20-21.

You keep repeating false statements
Only 2 running backs received the franchise tag in the last 5 years, and both signed monster deals that paid them highest at their position.
This whole tag bias on running backs just doesn’t exist. It’s a fallacy.
Only 2 guys in last 5 years which means the majority of the value of the current cap value is based on running back contracts who WERENT tagged.
So I’m speaking in fact that doesn’t line up with your opinion
There isn’t an issue. The cap works the same for all positions.
Id like to see an example using real facts to illustrate your opinion.
Id personally like to see the franchise tag process changed but not for a specific position, for all eligible.

Although we have never met of even spoken with each other, I feel like we have a special bond.

If the NFL's RB rookie contract rules don't evolve, I expect you may see some big program college RB's opt to stay in school longer for the NIL money. Bijan Robinson made $1.8m his last year of college and that system just got off the ground.

The NFL will always draw away the great qbs and WRs over NIL, but I could see more elite RB's maxing out their college years if the chances of getting a second NFL contract remain so low.

Market forces at work.
