He's not worth what he wants

 

He's not Zeke or Barkley or Gurley, or AP in his prime or Shady in his prime

 

He's a really good but not HoF back. Singletary can become as good as him

He's good but not AP in his prime good, or Zeke good or Barkley good

 

He obviously talented but not enough for what he wants

That's all true, but ultimately the FA market will decide what he's worth. I'm thinking he gets around $10M a year. Even though everyone has gotten used to saying RBs are a dime a dozen, it isn't really true for good backs. He may not be elite, but he's better than most of the starters int he league I'd wager.

Backs are a dime a dozen line is an overused cliche 

 

Yes for 1-3 game incriminates, a low tier back in the right scheme will look good. 

 

That low tier back will not produce for 5-10 seasons

 

Most of the top backs in the league were drafted in the top 3 Rounds because teams saw their talent

 

From Zeke to Gurley to Barkley to AP.. even Gordon and Kareem Hunt.. from Lynch to even Shady and Singletary

 

RBs with special talent usually are not allowed to slide too far down the draft board

Ya I'm so tired of that "dime a dozen" BS.  Game changing RBs worth investing in with this passing league are absolutely NOT common.  I think we might have one of those in Singletary.  Merely having a passable running game is easy, having a running game you can rely on is not.

I can't see Beane spending the money, draft picks, or giving away any of the current players for Melvin Gordon.  No question that he is good when he is on the field.  The problem is staying healthy and on the field.  I can't see anyone paying him the money that he wants.

Yea Barkley is really giving the Giants the playoff push. 

 

Face it RBs are "A Dime A Dozen"

Can't Lie. I'd love to have him in the RB rotation , but I'd have him as a 1 year rental , see how it works out and if he's a long term fit. 

Obviously the compensation has to be reasonable. Could see Beane throwing a 3rd like he did with KB. 

Would be a nice piece for a team that has a legit shot at a deep playoff run
