CMC signs extension

[AggieLean]

History repeats itself. The ones ok with this will be angry with Hurney about it soon enough.

He is not going to be a 1000/1000 guy for the next 6 years.  He is due for an injury and the way we fed him the ball this past season just bit us in the ass.  No running back ever plays up to their second deal.  Godalmighty hurney never learns

It remains to be seen but I don't think we'll see the same type of "feed the stud" philosophy on offense under this new regime as we did the old one. And the fact that he was 1000/1000 guys in a year when the overall offensive performance was dreadful makes me excited for what he can become.

The question I have for those that don't like the deal.  What would you prefer once his contract is up and he knows he can get more on the market? 

Let him walk?

Don't let him walk, trade him to a stupid team who will overpay for him.

[Pantha-kun]

He deserves every damn penny of it too 

[Baba Yaga]

Bad teams stay bad smh never pay running backs 

[DeSim]

If there’s a single RB that can live up to that type of huge extension, it’s McCaffrey. I love it.

He is 2 players in one, so think of it as 8M/8M for one of the best RBs/WRs in the NFL.

The shelf life of a RB is finite.  He is going to be used up in a couple of seasons.   He has played every game for the past 3 seasons.  There is not way that is sustainable at the current level.

I see why they did this..., but absolutely HATE this extension even though I LOVE McCaffrey as a player. 

Exactly how I feel. Cmc deserves this, I just with it wasn’t us that paid him this.

He will literally only be 28 when this contract expires

It doesnt matter what he does, was already under contract for the next 2 years.  We had the leverage and we totally squandered the benefit to us under the CB agreement.

It was most likely a benefit for both sides to get this done now with the uncertainty of the upcoming season. Now there's no worry about a possible holdout, your extending him as a top-10 player that's still young and hasn't hit his prime yet and we'll have more than enough cap space to absorb the hit. Win-Win!!

The NFL has shown even the best RBs in the NFL hit a wall hard and/or very expendable and that it's much easier to find a serviceable RB and that you don't need an extraordinary one to have a successful offense. We make ours the highest paid in history. Lolll.  Also, you give contracts on what you think the guy can do in the future. Not what he's done in the past. This team is a complete joke. Hurney has learned nothing.

In his last two years he was first and third in the NFL in touches. We're stuck paying for that kind of workload now, even though it's almost definitely not sustainable for another five years.

Cmc isn’t your average star RB. Once his wheels start to fall off put him in the slot, now you have one of the best slot receivers in the league.
