McCaffrey is getting paid.

New record for a running back.  Also, good 40-year decision.

McCaffrey has a point about running backs being paid relatively poorly. The top free agent RB in March, 2023 was Miles Sanders, who averaged $6.4 million for a four year deal, which would have made him the 40th highest-paid receiver at the time. The 2024 franchise tag for receivers is $21.816 million, tight ends $12.693 million  and running backs are the lowest at just $11.951 million (prior to McCaffrey's increase), excluding kicker/punters.
