Baalke takes a RB every year. Get used to it. He did the same thing in SF. He doesn't pay RBs 2nd contracts historically, so having fresh legs in the room every year makes sense from that stand point and you will eventually hit on one of these mid to late round RBs. ETN will probably play on the 5th year option and if he's ultra productive will probably then get tagged in his age 27 season before we let him walk in free agency at the over the hill age for RBs of 28. It will be an interesting situation to watch. Many would like to see ETN re-signed. I'm leaning towards that probably not happening.
