It comes down to the fact that only about 10% of backs receiving second long term contracts maintain their production from before the contract. 90% of them either slowly declining or fall completely off the cliff but most are cut by the 2nd/3rd year.

Did not read the report but have read many similar articles about RB declines... The thing is...Joe just turned 24 last month...he is barely older than out rookie QB... RBs tend to decline near 30 years old...not so much playing time as actual age catching up...Joe will be 29 when this contract ends.... Joe is the emotional leader on offense and of the best backs in the league....
