my theory is that RB is one of the most easily replaceable positions in the NFL. Only the top 10 or so RBs in the league truly have the skill to stay for a while.

If you look at average salary by position in the league, RB is near the bottom (only kickers, TEs, and safeties) get paid less. I think the average salary in comparison to others is a pretty good indicator of the importance of a position to a team.

This coupled with the fact that the injury rates of RBs is so high, means there's just tons of turnover.
