The State of the NFL RB Market | Birds Of A Feather | A2D Radio

NFL star running backs Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs have been the latest victims of the continued devaluation of the RB free agency market as they couldn’t reach long-term deals with the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders by this past Monday’s deadline. That means the only compensation they can gain from playing is from the franchise tag. There was an uproar from other running backs around the league in response, addressing how broken the RB market is in the league now. However, others in the media have shot down the concerns, chalking it up to “how the game is now” and that running backs just aren’t valuable enough anymore to justify being paid second contracts. Is there any hope that running backs will get fair treatment and pay ever again? Should changes be made to help them? This is a heavy topic, and the BOAF guys will dive into it. Also, the guys will continue the draft they started last week and look to build the best team they possibly can. The 2023 ALL-BIRDS OF A FEATHER DRAFT: PART 2 is here! And remember, it’ll be up to you to decide who ended up with the best team! Pete Evans was able to build a very strong defense so far, Chux was able to grab the Philadelphia Eagles dominant offensive line, Pete Young took 2 elite running backs, and Jake Friel grabbed the best linebacker in the league in Fred Warner. How will the rest of the draft shake out? Tune in! To end the show the BOAF panel goes “NO HUDDLE” as they discuss anything and everything else surrounding the NFL, sports, and anything else that we find worth discussing!
