The Baltimore Ravens must be looking around the league and laughing at how much teams are spending on running backs. The New York Jets gave Le’Veon Bell a four year deal north of $50 million with $35 million guaranteed. The Cowboys just gave Ezekiel Elliott a six year contract extension with $50 million in guaranteed money according to reports.
Anybody who wants Melvin Gordon to play for their team has to be willing to trade a first round pick and give Gordon a new contract. All around the league the stars at the running back position are getting unprecedented money.
