The topic of running back contracts has swept over the NFL the last couple of weeks as talented backs including Saquon Barkley of the Giants, Josh Jacobs of the Raiders, and Tony Pollard of the Cowboys have struggled to land long-term deals they find fair in a rough running back market.
Los Angeles Chargers RB Austin Ekeler recently held a Zoom meeting with some of the most notable RBs in the league in attendance to talk about the issue at-hand regarding their position’s worth in today’s NFL. Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris was one of those backs in attendance and spoke to the media yesterday saying that running backs have no security in today’s league.
