Pffft..........you might not like it, but he's worth more that that. Devonta Freeman made over 8 last year. Melvin Gordon is making 8 mil per the next 2 seasons guaranteed. He's far better than either of those guys.

On the flipside I don't think he's worth Drake money 8.5 or Henry at 10.5. Not better than Cook in Minny either. Tried that experiment and didn't work, Kamara isn't a 3 down back. More of a specialty role from what I see. Gonna depend on the worth of that role.

Definitely worth more than Drake. Henry is debatable. He didn't break out until this past year honestly. Cook is a beast, but he has problems staying healthy.
