It's crazy that only 4 other teams considered him as a FA. Texans offered him $11 million, Bears and Chargers considered him but went with other far inferior directions, and the Ravens considered him and went with Derrick Henry.
Top WR's are making $30-$40 million, the best RB's are fighting for $13-16 million. The fact that Barkley had to fight for $13 million is crazy.
The Moneyball aspect of this is insanely interesting. The last 2 years the NFC Super Bowl team featured elite RB play with efficient but average QB play. Everyone is chasing the elite QB/WR duo but that's almost $100 million between two players when you can spend $15 million on an elite RB and invest the difference in the rest of the team.
