There's been no run on running backs in NFL free agency this offseason.

Despite the presence of six former 1,000-yard rushers among the available players, only one notable running back got a contract in the first four days of free agency. Danny Woodhead, coming off a knee injury that limited him to two games with the San Diego Chargers in 2016, moved to the Baltimore Ravens for a three-year, $8.8 million contract that included $3.25 million in guaranteed money.

Guard Kevin Zeitler received a $12 million bonus just for signing the five-year contract that moved him from the Cincinnati Bengals to the Cleveland Browns.
