We both think Burkhead would take similar money to go elsewhere to play. The only caveat we see is this: IF Burkhead does re-sign here...that has to be an indicator of something regarding Hill's status. Remember - when Bernard signed his extension he was in the top 10 of highest paid running backs in the NFL. Burkhead isn't being re-signed with Bernard at a certain dollar amount to get 10 snaps. But I kind of have a problem with UPI doing that to Paul and Geoff as a news headline.
The problem with Hill's status is he is a bad RB right now. The problem with Gio's is he had a bad year and is
coming off of injury. We will be in trouble if we let Burkhead go unless we draft a good RB. This is the problem
with this team almost every year, we don't open up the draft and let the BPA fall to us.
Need to use Free Agency to do this. We usually sign our own players back but sometimes they are guys like
Peko and Maualuga who are older and nothing special. Rex shown he was our best RB late last year.
We should re-sign him and make him the #1 right now with his vision, hands, will and burst.
He just runs harder than Hill and Gio.
