Not only does it allow star RBs to get through their rookie contract at a younger age, but it saves so much wear and tear from the hits star RBs take in their Jr year.   Just look at Fournette, he had 300 carries in his Sophomore year then got hurt in his Jr year and only played 7 games.

I don't think that's a good idea.  But how about, every 200 carries is a year off of your rookie contract?

I like the idea, especially when Derek Henry is limited to 199 carries in his initial 4 years (as the Titans avoid an earlier 2nd contract) .... resulting in 0 carries vs the Jags in the last few weeks of the season.

That would be quite interesting for cash strapped teams that spend excessive $$ on their QBs.  I could see KC, Baltimore, Dallas, and other teams potentially paying $15m+ on Saquon if there wasn't a cap hit.
