Unless a RB is a first rounder, he plays four years on a rookie deal.  Then, if he's productive, you franchise him once, maybe even twice, then you send him on his way.  Every year, there is a whole new crop of RB's and you can find a starter on Day 3 of the draft or often even as an UDFA.

Sorry Joe, you were born five years too late.
