Is it?

Christian McCaffrey $16M
Zeke Elliot $15M
Lev Bell $13.1
David Johnson $13
Derrick Henry $10.2 (Franchise tag)
Kenyan Drake $8.4
Melvin Gordon $8

The market is not what you or I think it should be, it is what it is. The Panthers & McCaffrey just set it at $16M/yr. Looking at age and production, you tell me where you think AK should be. I'm not beating the drum to pay a RB, even AK a ton of money, but the only RBs I might rank ahead of him are McCaffrey, Elliot, and Henry. When Henry signs his deal I imagine it will be in the $15M range. I think the floor for AK's new deal is Leveon Bell's at $13M

Gotta account for the cap increase. % of the cap is important to note

Even if Kamara got $13mil, it’s not the same as David Johnson or Bell’s $13 mil

I think Barkley is up there in the top 3. I think he is definitely better than Zeke. Didn’t do much last year bc of an ineffective offense and injuries but he is probably the most talented back in the league. He was a monster his rookie year. He has a couple years left before he gets paid but will set the market when he does.

Not that this will effect Kamara’s contract but just wanted throw out that Barkley is a beast.
