The RB Position in Today's NFL

While I agree with most of your statements, you have to remember this 8 year deal is probably for 3, 4 max and only $15 million is guaranteed. Although he is 28 years old, he is still in awesome shape and can be productive for the next 3 or 4 years with the type of game they play out there. They pass a very high percentage of the time on 1st down when alot of teams crowd the line expecting run. He doesn't get beat up alot, plus he goes out of bounds when he can, he doesnt enjoy the down field contact.

He has been durable, but he has five years of hard mileage on him.

We saw two backs drafted out of Auburn last year who probably could have produced as well in Seattle's system for less money.
