Kirkpatrick will need to earn his payday from next season's play, IMO.
I was reading an article that claimed Gio should come cheap. They said that backs of his type (receiving backs that get 1000+ total yards but aren't relied on heavily as runners) aren't really getting paid much right now. I'm thinking he makes somewhere around 3-4 million per. People will be surprised.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
