Pats are paying:
Burkead - 1yr $3.2m
Gillislee - 2yr $6.4m
Other teams are paying:
Adrian Peterson - 2yr $7m
Jamaal Charles - 1yr $1m
Danny Woodhead - 3yr $8.8m
Latavius Murray - 3yr $15m
Jacquiz Rodgers - 2yr $3.3m
Eddie Lacy - 1yr $4.2m
Robert Turbin - 2yr $2.7m
Lance Dunbar - 1yr $1.5m
Darren McFadden - 1yr $1m
Tim Hightower - 1yr $1.1m
C. J. Spiller - 1yr $1m
Cedric Peerman - 1yr $1.1m
So besides Latavius Murray's $5m avg, Pats are paying their RBs as much or more than other more established names in the league. I understand the Pats are paying for future performance, but is it fair to say the contracts seem a bit rich in comparison to a number of guys signed this FA for $1 or $2m. What am I missing here? Do we suddenly value the position more than others?
