Hahaha you want to give him 11m for next year? Are you crazy? If we are tagging anyone it’s DJ.

Things have changed.
You can't win it 2 weeks in a row?

Next stop, Hall of Fame!
Drake in, 5+ yards. Sit Drake, bring in DJ, .5 yards. We need to keep Drake.

Does he get paid if he sits out?

The Transition tag was $9m this season, probably $10m in 2020. Rather than questioning peoples sanity, offer up a REALISTIC solution?

Offer him 2 years 8 million, if he wants more let him walk and if you can’t resign DJ in time tag DJ. Here’s a link to what the numbers for the franchise and transition tags will be. That good enough?

DJ is signed thru the 2021 season... "resign" DJ is not an option.

Humphries, the other DJ the one who actually contributes

Good offenses have 3 good running backs. There are creative ways to structure contracts to fit what a team needs. Signing Drake to a 5 m contract for next year can be offset by signing bonus , roster bonus whatever. In 2021 we lose DJ salary burden.
When you acquire good players you find a way to keep them. Drake has proven to be a great fit for this offense. It’s great to see a hard running running back. He’s a rb with very low milage. Do we really feel it’s just easy to replace him with a rookie rb in the 4 th round who can run, catch passes, block and pick up blitz’s?

New England paying top dollar to a running back free agent? Get the F outta here!
and drake has found a good place as far as style goes. He gets a good offer here I’m betting he’s staying.

David Johnson will never be a productive back in the nfl again.
lf you still can’t see that you are blind.
I disagree. Johnson is slow to process and makes mental mistakes, but a BA offense fits him much better than this RPO offense. He will never return to 2016 form, but he still has value for Tampa.

And don’t forget that TB will have somewhere in the neighborhood of $90million in cap space this coming offseason. They can EASILY afford Johnson.

Not top dollar, just competitive. Not as sure after today's game though.

It's also the system. Chase Edmonds was really good a few games as well.

They could offer drake a similar offer to what they gave burkhead who isn’t as good. Michel is done there he has been in the dog house for quite some time.

I get the feeling he wants more money than his market value. Did you see the TD celebrations?

Cards have big problems with the David Johnson contract but regardless they got to keep Drake.

If the Cards resign Drake, they will have 1 good running back, not 3. DJ is done...and Edmonds is just a guy capable of spot duty.

I think it is very important to look at the system at this point. Drake is made for it, and is rightfully excelling in his role.
But to say we need to re-sign him would be to ignore how much we have done for him and our system does for pretty much any RB we have plugged in.
We need to get out of DJ's contract. And we need to start sticking to the affordable RB approach. My guess is that Keim understands that now.

The td celebration suggests he wants to get paid so we have to be careful, anything over 5 million per is dicey given his college injury history. But he's been terrific so I hope we find a way to keep him that doesn't break the bank.
We have to be smart though, with Kyler at QB and the threat to run there's often one less run defender, that and the OL improving has led to some gaping holes for our RB's to go through.
I hope we keep him, if we don't I hope we keep Matt Breida in mind from the 49ers. he's a UFA and with Mostert and Coleman and still lots of money tied up in McKinnon(who's been hurt) they might not keep Breida. Breida is a perfect fit for this offense very good receiver, big play threat.

Interesting comments that make sense that KK's system may be good for many RBs not just Drake. DJ is through but that is a different issue. There are going to be a lot of free agent RBs beside Drake and some good ones in the draft. Bottom line, IMO you are right not to break the bank on Drake as we did on DJ.
