He did have 1650 yds 2 years ago. I wouldn’t say “nothing special”Curious why you would pay that for him? He has been nothing special. The Bears RB by committee can easily achieve what he does and will be much cheaper.
He had one good season where the offense relied on him a ton. Look at the rest of his career. Nothing shouts out special about him. He has not consistently put up elite number like the top RBs in the league.He did have 1650 yds 2 years ago. I wouldn’t say “nothing special”![]()
Three 1,000 yard seasons and 2 PB’s. He’s not special. he’s in the very good categoryHe had one good season where the offense relied on him a ton. Look at the rest of his career. Nothing shouts out special about him. He has not consistently put up elite number like the top RBs in the league.
I agree with @MikeDitkaPolishSausage and don't think a 1,000 yds for a full time RB is as good as it used to be. I think a full time RB should be more around 1,300+ on the ground for him to be considered in the top realm of RB's.Three 1,000 yard seasons and 2 PB’s.

(But I wouldn’t spend big on him)

Agreed. Not saying Jacobs is bad by any means. Like you said, would not spend big on him when the RB by committee we currently have could put up similar numbers.Three 1,000 yard seasons and 2 PB’s. He’s not special. he’s in the very good category

I didn't say you did.Where did I say he’s in the top realm?
The compensation for the non-exclusive is so over the top, it really amounts to a regular tag imo.Brian Burns tagged

Panthers use franchise tag on Brian Burns
Panthers General Manager Dan Morgan said the team was prepared to use the franchise tag on edge rusher Brian Burns this offseason and that seemed like where things were headed after Monday's report that extension talks were on hold.www.nbcsports.com
Apparently, it’s the non-exclusive tag.
Hmmmm... 6 million does sounds lot better... For sure no to Jacobs at 10 million, but I do like Saquon. I guess we'll see how it goes. If he's looking for 30+, that's a hard sell. I feel Harbaugh may grab him.
It makes sense...Tampa has a pretty solid corps and they won a playoff game last year. Plus, as others have pointed out, an entire career with one team, Florida's tax benefits and good weather, and a nice hefty contract.Definitely helps the odds of baker coming back.
Really underrated safety. Definitely worth bringing in.
Where other teams zig, it's a good idea to look at zagging. With all these good running backs available, the market is about to take another big hit. How many teams are going to want to throw $10 mil+ at a back? I'm guessing maybe only 2: Barkley and Jacobs, and just barely that. The rest, Derrick Henry for christ's sake, will get less.No need to spend money on running back. Build the dline/oline that’s where the money should go.
Safety, WR, RB are needs but try to get good deals after day 2z
