It's a lot:

Pretty good class of running backs. I wonder how many will change teams?

If the 2021 salary cap takes a big hit because of what's going on now, could be an even worse time for all of these RBs to be free agents. But there's talk that the NFL/NFLPA will find a way to spread the shortfall over multiple coming years to make the hit less drastic for 2021...

For RB, let's keep taking a mid rounder a year and not pay exorbitant salaries to any RB.
Too easy for them to get dinged up......I'm not in favor of looking for F/A running backs who will cost much more than young guys still on their rookie contracts. RB is a mostly instinctive position which makes their transition into the NFL quicker than other positions.

We don't need to draft anymore RBs. Give Malcolm Brown an extension, and we are good. 3 years, $4.8M should do the trick. That is $1.6M a year.

Not to mention the fact that their shelf life is usually pretty short now days.

Yeah, look at Gurleys. If our RB crew is solid, mo betta. Harder to key on. Versitile and fewer eggs in the injury basket.
