Time and time again teams learn the hard way that paying RBs big money to long term deals is a risky proposition


I give Pittsburgh a ton of credit for not caving to Le'Veon Bell. You absolutely don't extend a RB like that unless he's primarily a pass catcher, and even then, it's a gamble. Keep drafting and recycling every few years or so.

Yep. Trust your talent evaluators.

We've hit the mark big time on both Devonta and Tevin, and all signs point to hit #3 with Ito. Spend a nice 3rd or 4th round pick on a RB every other year or so and profit.

I'm still really surprised that TD panicked and signed Freeman to a deal. I had been impressed lately with their decision making in terms of letting players leave (Dontari Poe for one) and I thought they would for sure roll with Tevin next year.
