But he knows the offense and he's probably better than taking a chance on someone new in the draft next year.

Hill needs to step up this year or we will be looking for another workhorse to be the starter. That's not Gio though, he's the other guy who comes in and changes the pace. That's what he's best at.

idk if its too high I understand not wanting to pay RBs big money cause of their short career span in most cases.

But that's also a good reason to pay a good one a decent salary.      5.5 mil a year isn't a huge chunk considering the increase in cap each year.   Now having 2 RBs under that type of contract might be hard to do.
