2.) And this year Eckler is overpaid paid also for hiis performance.
3.) Eckler is also overpaid by Gio standard of when he got contract.
1.) How has he not accomplished what Gio did in his first 4 years? What are you basing this off of? And what does it matter? Gio didn't sign his extension after his 4 years, he signed it after year 6 when he was coming off back-to-back terrible seasons.
Ekeler had 1,550 yards from scrimmage last season. Had 11 total TD's. Caught 92 balls for 993 yards. Had a near 1,000 yards from scrimmage the year prior in only 14 games, and sharing the backfield with a Pro Bowler in Melvin Gordon.
2.) How so? If a player misses time they're automatically overpaid?
Ekeler has over 800 yards from scrimmage this year in only 8 games played. He's averaging a healthy 4.7 a carry. Ekeler has put up top 10, and probably top 5 production when healthy this year. He's played up to his contract and then some.
3.) Please explain. Seriously, give me numbers to help explain how you think signing a 24 year old running back to a 6 mil per deal when they accomplished what he did last season makes his contract seem as if he's overpaid.
