It’s been a rough go for running backs looking for a second contract in the NFL. With the amount of wear and tear the job has on players, it’s not one of those positions that teams are willing to throw a lot of money at. Currently, only four running backs in the league make above $10 million, with Ezekiel Elliott leading the pack with an annual average salary of $15 million.
Everyone has their own opinion about whether or not that was a good move by the Cowboys. With the recent fallout of some would-be stars, it only adds more fuel to the fire.
