That’s where we’re at after the 49ers agreed to sign the running back to a four-year, $30 million contract Wednesday, according to ESPN.
This is absolutely great for us and probably bumped him up to fourth round compensation pick. I expect that he's going to get cut with in 2 years or they're going to ask him to renegotiate his contract. No team is going to pay someone that probably is better off splitting times that amount of money720pete wrote:https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/jer ... ency-2018/The four highest-paid running backs in the NFL for the 2018 season are set to be Le’Veon Bell, Devonta Freeman, LeSean McCoy, and … Jerick McKinnon?

He is now the 4th highest-paid running back in the league.
Mind-boggling.
Yes. Money talks. Mckinnon gets 8 million and Latavius is going to restructure or get cut. Its not even close.dead_poet wrote:*Second bestJ. Kapp 11 wrote:Jerick McKinnon was the third-best running back on the Vikings last year.

He was better than Murray in the beginning og the year but Murray was way better in the second half, imo.dead_poet wrote:*Second bestJ. Kapp 11 wrote:Jerick McKinnon was the third-best running back on the Vikings last year.

That sounds like an environment he can thrive in if he can stay healthy.When Kyle Shanahan accepted the position as the San Francisco 49ers head coach, he brought with him his highly-touted offensive system.
Doug Farrar of Bleacher Report ranked the 10 best offensive schemes in the NFL, and Shanahan's "pre-snap passing game" landed his offense at No. 1.
“Many teams use motion to help the quarterback discern whether a defense is playing man or zone, and some teams are especially good as using motion to gain positional advantages,” Farrar said. “But under Shanahan's watch, pre-snap motion becomes a crazy quilt in which any skill position player can start anywhere and move anywhere else.”
Shanahan’s pre-snap motion success is exemplified by Atlanta Falcons running back tandem Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman who combined for 85 receptions for 883 receiving yards last season.
“Running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman might start in the backfield together and each move into the receiver group—perhaps one in the slot and one outside,” Farrar added. “A Shanahan staple was to take fullback Patrick DiMarco and move him from the backfield to the outside receiver formation—something fullbacks don't generally do. But DiMarco caught seven passes for 52 yards in the regular season and three more for 43 yards in the playoffs, and he never carried the ball. He was a blocker and receiver, and that was that.”

I'll take that bet. Jet is going to get a lot of touches in SF. He's being paid like RB/WR, as he should be.tzinc wrote:completely overpaid people were complaining about Cousins deal?
this is ludicrous
49ers are going straight into the dumpster with their management scheme
Which bet? That San Fran will continue to be in the dumpster? I think they really went over board this year, and they will next year too, if able. They are the new Lions as far as management. I do love the Jimmy G FA a lot. But as we have seen this year, just an outstanding (which Jimmy has yet to prove he is) will not win you a SB. The way the Vikes are going at it is a much better way. Im not as big on others with the Cousins signing for 30 a year, and it isnt a front side loaded contract. I think saving 10 Mil and taking a chance on Case may have been a better move simply because, for whatever reason, the Vikings fall apart, and mostly on the D side of the ball, in big games, at horrible times. And that hard to overcome even for professionals when the D is ussually so good. Plus the D like the bend but dont break idea a little too much. I know its worked for them so far, but luck runs out, and when it does, it would be nice to have extra money lying around to pick up the good FA's.dead_poet wrote:I'll take that bet.
