Just this past week the NFL deadline for long terms deals expired; leaving 3 of the NFL's top running backs without deals, and left to play under the franchise tag. The Giants' Saquon Barkley, the Raiders' Josh Jacobs, and the Cowboys' Tony Pollard. Dalvin Cook, formerly of the Vikings is also looking for a new team after being released in a cost savings move, and while it's unclear if compensation is the sole reason why he remains unsigned, it's probably a significant factor. Regardless, the running back market(or lack thereof) has been a touchy subject for the last couple of seasons, as the position's most elite players struggle to secure lucrative long-term deals from their respective clubs.
Pay that man!!! Or... Pay that man???
