Love the guy as a player but there is just no reason to pay a RB that sort of money, especially of they are not a 300 carry,franchise carrying RB. Even more so when you are paying a franchise QB and WR money.
Nah Lee, I can’t buy into that mindset. Kamara is a playmaker, he can be a difference maker each and every time he touches the ball. It’s true that every player signing is a cost benefit analysis. That being said, I don’t think his contract was egregious. The young man balls. And playmakers don’t grow on trees, quite a few of the attributes that those types of players have can’t be easily taught or learned via muscle memory. You’re either a playmaker..., or you’re not.

Yep, Kamara is special and didn't break the bank.

Paying guys like Peat for the level of production is where this egregious salary cap number comes from.

He is most effective in space, which he had none of due to the short passing game. Screen passes didn’t work because there was not real threat to go down field.
