I still think they'll get to the playoffs, but I doubt they'll be nearly as dominant over their Division.

Hand. It. Off.
You have this guy who's job it is to run with the football. The name immediately escapes me but I'm fairly certain 'run' is somewhere in the job description.
Give THAT dude the ball. They're cheap and disposable. You break him and find another one just like him. Nobody really expects you to pay him and everyone knows that this is a transactional relationship.
"You run the ball, destroy your body, and we'll give you like $5 million bucks over the course of 3-4 years. Cool?"
And everyone is seemingly okay with this. So do THAT.
Don't take the guy you're giving $50 million/season to and who's face is on your media guides and expose him to unnecessary punishment.
"Hey, who needs a hammer to drive this nail? I have my laptop sitting here and it weighs about the same amount. And so long as every time I hit a nail with it I hit it at juuuuust the right angle, it'll kinda drive the nail and probably won't break the screen. Oh that hammer in my pocket? Eh - I'm saving it to smash ants with so I don't wanna use it to drive nails..."
It's just so very, very dumb.
