I’m ok with that contract since it’s only 2 years. After that it will be an uphill battle for him to be a productive back approaching his mid 30’s.

I had to look at his stats last year again

Forgot he almost had as many rushing yards as Barkley

Also 106 career TDs pretty impressive. 6th all time
