If a RB is our leader on offense we are really in trouble moving forward. -

It's one of those moves I would normally be against, and if we were even a mid-tier team, it would look like a worse move as it doesn't really get us over the hump. But we are ass and we've been ass for years now. Chuba came in and was ass, but worked super hard to improve year over year, became a really good player and has now been rewarded for it. The locker room respects chuba, and you keep those guys around. If we had paid him top 5 money, I'd be pissed, but an 8.3 mil per year averages out to 9th in the league on a yearly basis. Scratch out Sander's name on the payroll and write in Chuba's name next to the numbers. That's essentially what we did and I don't think anyone would argue that Chuba deserves that money more than Sanders. This deal will not hamstring us for the future because it's essentially a 2 year deal when it's all said and done (perfect length for a RB extension). The salary cap this year is 255.5 million. It will go up again next season, but let's say it doesn't. Chuba accounts for 3.2% of our overall cap each year (with that percentage decreasing each season as the cap goes up). I'm fine giving the guy producing 1/3 of all our offensive output 3% of the cap.
