That's like owning shoes you're afraid to wear because it'll make them wear our quicker. What's the point then?

Do I? When's the last time that a long term contract for a RB has worked out? Here's the RBs making at least $7.5m/yr that aren't on rookie contracts.

Ezekiel Elliott: 301 carries/1,357 yards (4.5 YPC)/12 TD
Todd Gurley: 223 carries/857 yards (3.8 YPC)/12 TD
Le'Veon Bell: 245 carries/789 yards (3.2 YPC)/3 TD
David Johnson: 94 carries/345 yards (3.7 YPC)/2 TD
Devonta Freeman: 184 carries/656 yards (3.6 YPC)/2 TD
Jerick McKinnon: HASN'T PLAYED IN TWO YEARS

That's Ezekiel Elliott (who is running behind 3 All-Pros) with the only good 2019 of the bunch. 

Also note that the only team out of those 6 in the playoffs is the 49ers, whose RB has never taken a snap for them. Instead they had two random dudes named Raheem Mostert and Matt Breida (both undrafted) rush for 772 yards (5.6 YPC) and 623 yards (5.1 YPC), respectively.
