AK tweet....Uh oh he’s gonna wanna break the bank. (Said in jest)

First I absolutely do not have any problems with AK trying to get everything he can and this year he has some leverage if he decides to sit out. The shelf life of a RB is not long and for most their production drops significantly when they hit that 'too many carries' mark or when the minor injuries start to pile up. I am very conflicted however as I just do not see investing a ton of guaranteed money on a clearly great weapon when we may only get a year or two of solid production - and that is hoping last year was a one off with his injuries at this state of his career. In the next year or two we will have some huge payouts for some other all pro guys (Lattimore, maybe Davenport and Ram), all who should be long term high end players in the league. At this point, as hard as it is to decide, I really believe Coach Payton should explore what we can get from him and use those picks/players to improve in other areas, while saving valuable cap dollars for those players we can probably count on for another 5 or more years.
