NFL teams treat running backs as disposable assets to be exhausted before they become eligible for expensive contract renewals.

“You're telling me we're going to burn through a chance body so that when it's time to pay him, you don't pay him. Just going to burn those years of his body and it's going to happen faster than you've ever seen because of how violent and big and giant all of these people are.”

Jason Kelce believes that signing a player to a massive contract extension requires the team to have drafted well to remain competitive under the salary cap.

“it's hard to allocate money to receivers and everybody else the way you have to do it once you have a quarterback that signs a big extension is you have to draft really well that's what it comes down to you yeah you have to get young talent that is on rookie the third year contracts”

He believes the high amount of salary cap space held by the New England Patriots mid-season suggests they may be planning a significant trade acquisition.

“It does feel like they're potentially cooking for a big play. Does that mean that the trade deadline is about to be banana?”

NBA punishment for salary cap circumvention should be swift and harsh to deter other teams from attempting similar actions.

“I don't think you have a choice because what you what you try to do punishment should be swift and harsh. But punishment is not about the individual or the organization that committed the act. It's also about sending a message to deter others from committing said acts.”

He believes that the Cowboys made their intentions about George Pickens public to potentially increase his trade value.

“We're letting teams know that he's going to if if and when he signs his franchise tag, which he's done, reported by Adam Schefter, now we have opportunity to trade him away and get some pieces for him while the value was high.”

Chris Jones suggests that his return to the team and contract process were expedited because he missed his teammates and felt the absence of the team environment.

“I'm like I missed my dog man this is my dog I miss my dog it's just not the same thing bro I'm like I gotta give back bro I gotta get back watching them play bro I'm like [ __ ] I'm going back next week man unless we're accepted now let's let's do it”

Receiving a large contract is a blessing that represents a historical milestone.

“fast forward to when all that happened and end up getting the opportunity to make 100 million and make history for real is I mean it's a blessing”

Nick Chubb believes running backs are unfairly treated because teams rely on them heavily for running, catching, and blocking while devaluing them in negotiations due to perceived wear and tear.

“I mean and he Fred you understand too I mean they use us in every way you know we run the ball we catch we block that's the three most important things of football and we do all three at a high level but when it comes to negotiations they don't they don't value that because of our wear and tear”
