I also saw a report that Barkley plans to hold out, at least through training camp.

I’m interested to see if these top backs can essentially collectively bargain to get RBs more money. But part of the problem is teams think they can get good enough production out of a mediocre back that paying too dollar for an elite RB isn’t worth it. So if they do hold out, we’ll get to test that theory.

Yeah this is definitely going to be interesting. I feel like this is just the beginning of a large problem with the RB market. I saw that a GM was quoted saying something along the lines of 'I would rather draft an early RB and let them walk after 5 years than pay top dollar'.

It makes sense as a strategy. Just sucks that it’ll essentially mean the end of RBs being household names.
