There aren’t any fewer than 20 running backs who could finish the season as 1,000-yard rushers, with Saquon Barkley carrying the banner for an end to the devaluation of the position.
“I feel it starts with overpaying of quarterbacks, right?” former Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew told Serby Says. “You might have to pay the player, not the position.”
The Giants didn’t pay Barkley. The Titans didn’t pay Derrick Henry. Barkley might be dueling Henry on Sunday when the Eagles meet the Ravens. The Bengals didn’t pay Joe Mixon. The Raiders didn’t pay Josh Jacobs. The Packers didn’t pay Aaron Jones. The Cowboys didn’t pay Tony Pollard.
“There’s quite a lot of talented guys that hit free agency this 12 months that shouldn’t have hit free agency,” MJD said.
