The Achilles injury made a slow guy tortoise-like and he's had opportunities that his body just can't leverage into a contract. Heck, he's got a $1 million dollar deal right now with the Saints, they should pay him more when he'll be lucky to make the team? Nah, he's been paid more than fairly for what he's produced in his career; he's not worth 4 times 4 times that amount.

He's not getting carries anymore.
He WAS worth more than that, for sure.  4x more? 8x more? I don't know.  But for sure, more.  Most RBs had fewer carries than him in 2020 and 2021 and most RBs made more than him.  He got screwed.

Not as easy as you may initially think. I promise that when agents/lawyers get involved, NOTHING is easy.

Yes, no, yes.  It's only hard if you don't want it to happen.  Americans need to start questioning the sincerity of critics.  We live in a culture of dishonesty and obstruction.

JR didn't get screwed - he got hurt. 

Happens to dozens of gifted players every year that may have had a very different financial outcome if healthy. 

Unfortunately - it's really bad business for teams to try to find ways to compensate every affordable player who ends up being productive for a time.  The league has their own contingency in place for this, even if it isn't as much as you seem to think they should get. 

Here's the league's performance based pay adjustments for the year 2020:

You'll find James Robinson, Adam Gotsis, Tre Herndon and a few other Jags on cheap deals that saw a six figure bump from the league.
