So you think AK will hold out ? … in a contract year?

If he feels he should command top dollar, I would think he'll report to camp, ball out and look forward to a huge payday in 2021.

Pretty much. Any claims that he'll be traded, holds out, balls out, etcetera, is nothing more than conjecture.

Just wait and see. I'll throw one out there. He gets extended prior to the season and we go on to win Lombardi II.

I was referring to the total price of the contract, 57.5 mil.

Kamara played 3 games less

McCaffrey - Kamara

CMC numbers first

Rushing yards:
2,920 - 2408

Rushing average:
4.7 - 5.0

Rushing touchdowns:
24 - 27

Receptions:
303 - 243

Receiving yards:
2,523 - 2068

Receiving touchdowns:
15 - 10

Return yards:
220 - 585 (1TD)

but if you take off 2017 and only evaluate the past two years, there is no comparison. CMc leads by a wide margin in all categories, including yards from scrimmage by almost 1400 yards

CMC has proven to be able to handle a full workload, Kamara got hurt when his usage went up. He is worth around 10m nothing more.

That is meaningless. Only the guaranteed amount matters. Total numbers only apply to "blow up the skirt" of the player. They rarely ever come to fruition.

And even "guaranteed" amounts are not chiseled in stone as some only become "guaranteed" if the player is still on the roster.
