Ravens: $5m/yr RB vet & UDFA on a rookie contract
49ers: UDFA on a $2.9m/yr deal & UDFA on a rookie contract
Titans: 2nd round pick on a rookie contract & RB vet on a 1yr/$1.15m deal


None of them had either of their top two rushers in 2019 making more than $5m/yr. Three of them were still on rookie deals, and three of them were UDFAs.

As for WRs, you're barking up the wrong tree trying to score a point on that one. I have openly been a person who didn't want to bring AJ Green back due to the money/injury risk. I was on team sign an okay one in FA and then use a 2nd on a WR or TE.

Well I just thought I would balance it since you totally left out another high paid group (i can;t assume what you think about WR if i don;t know it but wanted to educate those that maybe did not realize that paided group and lack of production).. and maybe you missed my point was less about $$ but about a trend that has been coming the last couple years.. Running the ball has trended up.. and Mixon has produced with two bad years of teams and he is a very proven back.. I don;t want to see us take a step back at a crucial time with the team.. timing is as important as salary...  Lets work a compromise pay the man more and keep on a positive trend 

Finally I will give you what 49ers have and Ravens at RB  have now and still take Mixon over the next few years.. 49ers are going to have to start to pay their RBs if they keep them for a few years.. Ravens will be looking for RBs next couple years and finally Titans have 10 million on Henry this year.. lets see what happens
