Mike Davis signing with Seattle will not make the same headlines as Le’Veon Bell would. That would be amazing, wonderful, and unbelievable news. The Seahawks aren’t about to pay a running back over $14 million a year for one thing. And that’s one of the reasons signing Mike Davis is such a big deal.
Bear with me, I’ll get back to Mr. Davis promptly. Peter King discusses Bell’s contract situation in Sports Illustrated’s MMQB. He states that no running back is worth that much, and gives some pretty sound reasoning:
• Employing big-time running backs doesn’t equate to winning Super Bowls.
