CMC signs extension

[RenoCarolina]

1) he earned it

2) ya gotta sell tickets

Kind of where I'm falling on this.  If he continues to be the 1000/1000 type guy and receiving while staying healthy, no problem with this deal.  If he's "just" a RB, we're going to regret it.

That's a lot of money.

[raz]

highest paid in history.   ok.   

[Lemory]

Dont ever pay running backs big money it always bites you in the ass later on. 

[countryboi]

wow he just got paid paid! he has a skill set that will make him productive for a long time. im not worred

Someone’s the tweet thread said good week for Christians lol.  
 if you are signing a RB it’s excessive.  If you are signing the most dynamic offensive weapon in the league it’s a great strategic move.  I don’t know how to feel about this.  If Brady and Rhule can keep him healthy then it will pay off. 
 

it’s a huge gamble and a big investment. Not sure how I feel about this. Be interesting to see the full contract terms.

More concerned with the 20 million we are paying Kalil and Turner then the 16 for CMC

Not always, but certainly more often than not.

Good for him. Deserves it.

Good move IMO. A lot of people won't agree due to positional value but CMC is a special player. Think about it: in a losing season and sketchy play on  on offense, he had a Pro Bowl season and was a defensive nightmare. He's still young and he hasn't hit his prime yet. And with the increase in cap space next year and not having to pay franchise money for a QB for at least the next four years, it made a whole lot of sense to do this deal now.

this, painting CMC as "just a rb" is absolutely absurd. he could start at wr for most teams.
