Contract isn't bad at just $3 mil. Still, a rookie RB contract is cheaper and can potentially get a far better player

 

"Just $3 mil," you say. I don't understand why anyone would be upset about incentives. There is a reason they're there: to motivate and bring out the best in a player. I agree with you that we could've saved ourselves roughly $2.5 mil, at least, but it's certainly more risky to gamble on "potential," than to just pay for someone who has already proven themselves to be legit in the NFL. That being said, I'd have probably gambled. But I'm not overly concerned with the contract. There are more interesting things to talk about.

If you play FF you know how valuable it is to have a nice stack of RBs in the stable. Last season I was starting 3rd string nobody's because of how shallow the market was.

Actually I don't mind incentives, but we still could've gotten a back in the draft or as a UDFA.

And then make a wish they can play.

I don't mind paying a littto the guy we know can do it given we need depth everywhere.
