TBayXXXVII 2,114 Posted September 10, 2020 @jrokh logic: Tampa give Fournette a 1 yr / $2M deal, that means Tampa doesn't like Jones and Fournette will become the starter. also @jrokh logic: Browns give Kareem Hunt a 2 yr / $13.25M contract, but the yet, he won't even get 50% of the teams touches.

You are misrepresenting my comment on the first point. I will repeat for the confused. A team that spends a significant draft pick, and brings in a former top 5 pick, both at RB, has shaky confidence in the incumbent starter. That is what I said. How it plays out will be interesting. The money payed to Fournette is irrelevant. If he’s better he will be the guy. As for the second point, Not sure what The money has to do with this season. Chubb will get the same amount of touches regardless of Hunt’s contract extension. Now, I actually hope that I am wrong on both counts as Hunt is my RB3/Flex and RJ is my RB5. HTH, but I doubt it will.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted September 10, 2020 If Hunt wasn't a moron off the field he would have a ring, play with the best QB in the NFL on the best offense, and probably have a much fatter wallet. That being said I think Cleveland realizes what they have and are holding on while they still have some leverage. Hunt is one of the most talented RB's in the NFL, not a backup. Most of this is my opinion, yes, but I know talent when I see it. Chubb is an excellent RB for sure but maybe more one dimensional. Hunt looks like more of a 3 down back to me.

Money shouldnt matter, but often it does. thats the truth of the matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I felt Hunt was the better back all along. only reason they got him is because he was cheap due to the fact he had an off field issue resulting in suspension. If hunt hadnt Effed up, he'd still be in KC and have a superbowl ring and be gearing up for a large payday. Either way, the team will need to decide who will be their main man at some point. in the interim, Im sure they are happy to sit on the fence and let both produce well for them at a reasonable price.

In other words jax literally couldn’t give him away. He’s lucky he got 2 million. Still with Hunt, 2 years 8 million guaranteed is not a prohibitive deal, and certainly won’t influence the Brownies to play him more. If the Browns keep their games close Chubb will still be the likely touch leader, as we shall see on Thursday. Unless of course the Bengals blow them out, but if that happens they will have much bigger problems than how to allocate the RB touches... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted September 17, 2020 I am feeling the pull to start Hunt tonight as a flex type. May have better options on paper but feel like Hunt could outproduce expectations this week.

Why are people so easily misinformed? To be fair, I heard this said by professional analysts as well. The Jags could not get a draft pick, could not get anything for Fournette, not because he doesn't have value that other teams would want to pay, but that no team wanted to be saddled with his $4M contract. Once that was voided when he cleared waivers (where had he been claimed it would be honored by the claiming team), the market for his services was decent to good. He had options. And quickly. It wasn't that no one wanted him, that no one was willing to give the Jags anything, it was that no one wanted to pay him $4M, a relative high price for a RB. So, it wasn't at all that the Jags "couldn't give him away." Let's try not to be so dense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A 1 year, $4.1M contract (what was left on Fournette's rookie contract) isn't an extravagant price to pay for a starter-quality RB who can come in and assume the lead RB duties. But $4.1M is indeed a high price for a backup-quality RB. Clue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law 220 Posted September 18, 2020 I realize you enjoy playing the role of Fool, but how many NFL teams felt they needed a "starter" in August? Most think they had a starter or high pick rookie in the wings. The market for a starting RB in August is not strong. And so as not to force you to think too much, the teams that likely needed a starting RB were: Jax, Mia, NE, TB, and Wash. The rest either had a guy they saw as their starter or a high rookie. Clue.

If you were to go by Fournette's production, only 5 teams in the NFL had a RB who posted more yards from scrimmage than Fournette did in 2019. So you're saying that 26 NFL teams passed on a RB that was better than their starter, because of a $4.1M rookie deal with 1 year left on it? There's more going on here than a prohibitive contract.
