Because we live in a country where you're encouraged to always make more money.
I think RB's have a legit gripe, considering it's the position with an average career expectancy that is shorter than a rookie contract.

So then maybe they should have choose a different position?
You say we live in a country that's encourages people to make more money, but you don't get that opportunity if you don't choose the right profession (or position).
They have no legit gripe and you're an idiot if you think anyone making millions for playing football has a legit gripe bc of the position they play.

But what if teams determine it’s not in their best interest to pay running backs and simply draft younger ones with fresher legs?
I agree it sucks for them but it seems kinda silly to pay a guy who could very well be a depreciating asset in their mid 20s when they can get a guy who is arguably more explosive/better for a fraction of the cost in the draft.

Is it though? It’s just what the position pays now.
Guys who played RB in the 70s/80s could gripe about being “underpaid”, but that’s just the state of the sport and market.
There are other positions. And they don’t have to play in the NFL
