00:00There are five running backs that make more than $10 million per year.
00:04That's it.
00:05Ok, it's going to be Jacobs.
00:06Jacobs makes $12 million.
00:08McCaffrey.
00:09McCaffrey makes $19 million per year.
00:10Barkley.
00:11Barkley's $12.5 million.
00:16Is it easy after that?
00:17Fairly.
00:18These would be top fantasy picks more so a couple years ago rather than right now.
00:24But they're still pretty good.
00:25I want to say this just because the team is dumb with money, but Camara.
00:28Camara.
00:29$9.25 million.
00:30That's gettable because of that.
00:32And then after that, Mixon.
00:34No Mixon, just under $9.8.
00:36Because I know they signed him and then gave him big money.
00:38Right.
00:39A couple guys that just go under that just signed.
00:42Maybe these would be comparables.
00:43Like James Conner signed in-season this year, $9.5 million.
00:47With Arizona.
00:48Chuba Hubbard just signed in-season with the Panthers this year, $8.3 million.
00:54Before the year, I think, Ramondre Stevenson signed, he was $9 million.
00:57That was the class that you might have been thinking for Cook.
01:01The other one's Jonathan Taylor.
01:02He's second.
01:03$14 million.
01:04So, alright James Cook, you want $15 million a year?
01:08But per year, that would make him the second highest paid running back in football.
01:14Would the bills do it?
01:15I mean, he WANTS to be the second highest paid running back in football.
01:18There's nothing wrong with him going out there and putting... it's a contract negotiation.
01:22First off, he's not even a free agent, it's an extension.
01:25So that's where he loses some leverage.
01:27He would have to go to the market next year, where you could hit everybody to try and maximize
01:31the most.
01:32But $15?
01:33Would the bills do it?
01:35They're not giving him $15 million.
01:36Will they give him $10?
01:40I think that's more likely for right now.
01:43Like, hey James, we know you want $15.
01:46If you want to play out the season without an extension, and you want to, you know, you
01:54want to earn the $15 million, we're not even saying we wouldn't be the team to give it
01:58to you in a year, but then you've got to go through another year.
02:01If you want to sign the extension right now, here's the price, it's $10.
02:05Like I think that's more likely.
