When you pay a middle of the pack qb, elite qb money. You can’t afford a top of the line rb.

I say no.
And really, McCaffrey isn't worth McCaffrey $. IMO of course. |

I think he picked the absolute worst year to have a holdout. He's only played three seasons and in two of those seasons he's missed significant time with leg injuries. Although he started fast in 2019, he ended up 10th for the rushing title. Also you're coming off a SuperBowl where the two starting RBs were pulled off the pile and will be making, combined, less than $4.5 million in salary in 2020. This is a year too early for him to be holding out for a new contract, AND if he holds out he'll miss more time to prove he's worth that big contract so two our of his first four seasons will be missed due to injury and an overinflated sense of self worth. No deal.

I really feel bad for RBs. They take more abuse than any other position, but that abuse then means that their longevity doesn't make them worth paying a big second contract.
So no, Cook isn't worth it. I feel bad that he's not though. |

Well, they are pretty easy to replace, too. You don't really need a special running back if you have a good line or a decent offense overall. There's not that much difference to a team in the end between an average RB and one of the better ones.

And when they get their shot, the RB position is basically an afterthought. |

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.

No, you don't really want to pay a RB that much money anyway. Cook isn't as durable either.
