re: 4 year $64 million extension for McCaffery

I don't think AK gets $16M/yr, but he probably aint getting anything less than #13M/yr either so all those suggesting $10M are crazy. That's the market these days for top RBs and AK is indeed a top RB. AK has been elite since he entered the league with the exception of the last half of the season last year after returning from an injury that he was obviously not 100% healed from. That's not his fault. And for those idiots saying "well he shouldn't play if he's not 100%", you are just idiots who sound entitled to only see AK at 100%. And don't forget that AK at 80% is better than Dewayne Washington at 110%.

Now the topic of whether or not to pay a RB in our system that much % of our salary cap, well that's another debate. AK is elite, and we saw in 2018 when he went out of the Falcons game how offense completely sputtered, but last year when he was out for several games we also saw Murray step up and Payton change up his gameplan and adjust to his personnel. I think we have to atleast listen if other teams call about a trade and see what kind of compensation they are offering. We are already paying MT13 a bundle, will have to pay Ramzcyk soon as well and I believe they are both more important than AK. I believe we end up extending AK, keep him in 2020 & 2021 while we transition from Brees to Taysom, and once Payton has a full season with Taysom at QB with AK and see what direction they want the offense to go. If we end up going to more of a power run, I could see us trading AK at that point
