I don't care about splitting hairs. All I care about are the facts. And that is we are paying him $48 million over 5 years (if he plays enough to earn bonuses)

However, Joe is a good, but not elite RB in my view. He was 9th in rushing yards, 33rd in YPC, and 12th in Yards per Game last year. Those aren't elite numbers, but starting next year his cap hit will be that of an elite RB.
He produced those numbers behind one of the worst lines in the entire league and with not much of a passing game to loosen up the defense.
