I know the Oline sucked and there were no WRs and the QBs suffered… but AK is another year older and most RBs don’t get better as they get older. Not sure Ingram, JJ, Ozzy and Smith give me confidence as a group. Time will tell.

Goes with the territory when discussing RB's. They mostly all get banged up and lose time. That's why they are among the lowest paid position. That said, Kamara is clearly one of the most dangerous players in the league. He is arguably more impactful catching the ball than simply toting the rock. I wouldn't be so concerned with his carries.

RBs are not longer the primary feature of most offenses today. That's more likely a reason for their decline in compensation.

This is true, as well. Only a handful of RB's in todays game account for as much offense as does Kamara. Even a big, punishing RB like Henry, 2nd highest paid at $12.5 million per year, with the run centric Titans has been limited in playing time recently. The same with Delvin Cook and Nick Chubb, also both over $12 million.
