Jalen Phillips got $100 million?
$120.
That one I missed.
That's insane.
He's broken.
They got Devin Lloyd, too.
Holy.
Although Zaz says not a big move.
I don't know that fool.
Who can forget the A-blocks of DeMarco Murray?
Yeah, but almost every example that Dan brought up was immediate regret.
Which is why the market has been what it is for that position for most of this century.
But the money with a player like Kenneth Walker compared to the money that Jalen Phillips got, the reward is so much greater than the risk from that position to the other.
Like if you have an incredible pass rusher, incredible pass rusher is more valuable than incredible running back.
It's why there's a school of thought that positionally there needs to be something collectively bargained for running backs.
Actually, Kenneth Walker, in his fourth year, being able to get to that next contract, that is a job extremely well done.
Running backs don't often get that opportunity to cash in for a second contract.
Look at what happened to Isaiah Pacheco and his running style.
It took a toll on his body, and Kansas City moved on from him and got the next durable back contract.
You would argue that Derrick Henry, probably the best running back of this generation, his best contract was four for 50.
