Look at the running back room as a whole instead of trying to be smarter than me for a minute. Jones is set to be paid like $14 million next year? He also can no longer stay on the field, Dillon is not good enough to be a RB 1 and will get paid like it by some other team for some reason. We need to draft probably 2 running backs next year, 1 to take over for Jones in 2 years and another to take over Dillon’s spot.
I know everyone thinks that once we get through the cap issue we’ll be fine, but Gutes roster has holes all over and a lot of cap is going to be spent very quickly again to fill those. Running backs are a position you can find cheap quality at all over the draft. There is no reason to give Dillon a contract unless he can be the #1, which he can’t.
