None of the other backs that we've had around in the past few years have been able to come close to unseating him as the RB2 and Change of Pace, 3rd down blocking back.
I don't know how you set his market price at that amount, even if you value him greatly.
I can get on board with definitely wanting to keep him. (I love Gio, and I'm glad he's here.) Like I said though, I just don't get how they determined that was his worth. It's like they didn't bother looking at any other RB contracts to set their offer.
His agent had to have been over the moon when it came through. It's an unbelievable amount for a RB that hasn't hit 500 yards rushing since 2015.
