Henry is 25 years old. He's got plenty left in the tank. Who knows, he could be Frank Gore and still be a good RB at 35. He hasn't been ran in to the ground in the NFL.Did you read the part where I said RB’s decline faster than any other position?
Hard to listen to him talk. LolThey brought in CJ2K on the McAfee show to discuss this today, pretty cool
Like I said before. Henry is a premiere power back. Power backs often have their BEST years in their second contracts.Did you read the part where I said RB’s decline faster than any other position?

EDDIE GEORGE!
ALL had their best years in their second contracts.
We have the basis for something truly great with Tanny, Henry and Brown. Why mess with that to save some money. Ridiculous.
I have said the same to the trolls here...I would add to that that with his style he isn't as likely to see a huge decline over the years. He's not particularly shifty or quick now, so I don't see a drop off from a lack of quickness as he ages. Even with a 5 year deal he would still be just 30 at the end of it.

Eddie George was the Titan’s MVP this year even in retirement. Henry grew a pair after talking to Eddie. Great to see Henry finally being a bruiser in between the tackles. Eddie’s pep talk turned Henry from an inconsistent average back to the best back in the league.
It wasn't "dont fall down" that he told Henry to change. It was to stop looking for the cutback lane all the time.From what I understand the biggest thing was George telling Henry not to fall down when he is touched. Keep kicking those feet and pushing forward. Once Henry started doing that he became the back we were hoping him to be.
How about a more modern look at big contract RBs? like... Zeke(15m/yr), Gurley(14.8yr), Bell(13.1/yr), David Johnson(13/yr), Freeman(8.3/yr).This is a ridiculous thread. Of COURSE we resign Henry. Henry is a premiere power back. Do you realize how hard that is to find? And power backs tend to have their BEST years in their second contracts.

Only thing Dallas regrets is their staff.How about a more modern look at big contract RBs? like... Zeke(15m/yr), Gurley(14.8yr), Bell(13.1/yr), David Johnson(13/yr), Freeman(8.3/yr).
I believe every single one of these teams regrets those contract. These are the top 5 paid RBs in the league right now.
I want to keep the Henry train rolling, but believe paying him anything over 10m is a mistake.
Can't be scared to pay your guy based on what players on other teams do. If that were the case, everyone would be screwed when contracts come up.How about a more modern look at big contract RBs? like... Zeke(15m/yr), Gurley(14.8yr), Bell(13.1/yr), David Johnson(13/yr), Freeman(8.3/yr).

Sure, but paying RBs this kind of ridiculous money is a new thing. I fully supported making Byard and Lewan the highest paid at their positions, bc those positions are much less replaceable and the top paid guys at those positions have a better track record.Can't be scared to pay your guy based on what players on other teams do.

I just looked at the average salaries of these guys 2nd contract during their peak and compared it to the salary cap at the time. Here is what % of the cap these guys took up on their big paydays.Like I said before. Henry is a premiere power back. Power backs often have their BEST years in their second contracts.

Cap is expected to be from the number you mentioned to over 201 million.I just looked at the average salaries of these guys 2nd contract during their peak and compared it to the salary cap at the time. Here is what % of the cap these guys took up on their big paydays.
AP 6.6%
Lewis 4.6%
Lynch 4.5%
George 4%
Bettis 3.7%
The salary cap is expected to be about 197M next year. The top RBs make 15M. This puts them at 7.6% of the teams salary. It is honestly not as bad as I expected when I started looking into this, but I would still like to keep him below 12M.
That 4.5% sweet spot would only put him at 8.86M which would put him at the 5th highest paid RB in the league, but well behind the big 4 that are grossly overpaid.
The 2019 salary cap was 188M.Cap is expected to be from the number you mentioned to over 201 million.
I love Henry, but at 15M...Replace with who?
It ain’t your money.....a 4 year deal with outs after 3 will be fine.I love Henry, but at 15M...
I'd much rather draft any of Taylor, Hubbard, Dobbins, Etienne, Akers, Hill, Moss in the 2nd or 3rd and pay them 1-1.5M for the next 4 years.
