Saints nearing deal with AK. He deserves it. Straight baller.
Butch still expected to forget he's on the bench.
Great post and I totally agree with youI'm kinda surprised by this. He really doesn't have much leverage with 2 franchise tag years on the horizon.
I feel like RB's and their agents make the mistake of trying to get the biggest contract that they can, and what ends up happening is the team chews them up and spits them out in the first 2-3 years, then they cut him. If the RB will give up total $ but increases the guaranteed, not only will the team be more inclined to keep him, but they'll do more to protect their investment and they'll avoid riding him into the dirt. I have no idea what the contract is going to look like, this is just something that makes sense to me.
