Right now I'm leaning towards the Titans placing the transition tag on him, and letting him test the open market with an opportunity to match.


Can’t use the Franchise tag and the transition tag so they’ll have to lock up Tannehill quickly to be able to do that.

Zeke produced at Zeke standards out of the gate his rookie season. And he’s a better asset in the passing game.

Zeke had the luxury of playing behind the best ol in the NFL. If anyone is a system rb, it's zeke. the most consistent thing Jerry does is ol.

Derrick Henry is incredible, but that’s too much for a RB


Especially for one that has to come off the field for passing downs and is literally no threat in the passing game.

He’s no threat on passing downs but he’s a dangerous weapon on screens

Houston has a bunch of cap space apparently. I could see Billy B giving him the contract he is looking for.

Free agents always seem to end up within the same division as well.

So this is why he had a killer season out of nowhere.

I'd usually say that's way too much, and it is, but he was the team this year.


That’s fine. Draft another guy to be the team and work on improving your team as a whole. Don’t pay a RB insane stupid money.

Exact how far did the Cowboys go this year in the playoffs with their over paid Running Back?


Thanks Jerry

RBs are as important as 3rd string linemen and should be paid the same as them

a team can win and do very well with any random rookie RB

they are no longer a vital player you have to give huge money to keep, those days are long gone

the kamaras and zeke and henry are all way overpaid

False. In the last year of the CBA you can use both. The Cowboys are expected to do so with both Dak and Amari.

Paying your RB is not smart if you want to win a Super Bowl.

Graphic is misleading. Half of those guys were on rookie deals and some weren’t the best back on their team.

yep, guys here still thing a running back is the second most important and valuable member on the team when in truth they are way down the list of players that are the most valuable to the team

RBs can be had anywhere and do a good job and thats all you need today, if you look at the stats kamara had 5-6 running plays on average this year per game and most of his yards were gained as a receiver not a RB

teams dont run the ball like they used to, so a RB in todays NFL isnt as valuable as most people still think

Ask themselves, "What would Bellichick do?" Then shake DH's hand, thank him for his service, and walk away.

Titans caught between a rock and a hard place. In a couple of years he's going to be broken down and they'll be hamstrung by his contact number.
