I follow this ideology as well, but it always makes me feel for the players. I know that they are well paid for their service, but other positions get past their rookie contracts and are rewarded with a pay increase if they have been moderately successful. RB’s are looked upon as expendable and are fortunate to be paid a small increase under those same terms. I love a good running game, but I would tell my kid to play another position if they were starting to play the game.
