Noticed another trend...how many of the teams in the playoffs have well-paid RBs?
None in the Top 5 paid in the league.
The only teams who are even paying a Top-10 RB salary are SF (McKinnon, who didn't even play this year), Duke Johnson (who wasn't even HOU primary RB), and BAL (Ingram, who making just $1.15 mill more than Bernard).
The teams that are winning in the playoffs are NOT paying RBs big money.
They are using drafted players and/or castoffs that are contributing well at a fraction of the big contracts.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
