Dude can't stay on the field. And he's good when he's there, but all too often he just isn't. And even when he is, does he really scare you as much as some of the other 'top tier' backs in the league?
It's just an absolutely ludicrous demand by him and I suspect his representation realizes that. If he wants anything approaching $16 million (hell, if he wants $30 million over the first 3 years) he'll be sitting out.
You cannot give a back who's fringe top 5, when healthy, a top of the market contract when he's NEVER healthy.

Agree completely. If he sits I expect Mattison to have marginally decreased production at worst and wouldn’t be surprised if it was very similar. He does that and the Vikings may make him expendable a la what he Chargers did with Gordon. He has zero leverage.
