Think about this one though. As a college grad, if he were to hit the corp. workforce at $60,000 per year with 3% annual increases, it would take him 13 years to make that $900k. At the end of this year, he will have likely made more $$$ than most people will make in their entire lifetime. Not bad for a Undrafted Free Agent.

Well, yeah, sure, comparing it to regular people. My greater point was how much less he's making than a bunch of backup scrubs who were paid on potential, and most likely will never see the field. Robinson already has excellent tangible results, but he may never monitize them to their full value.

Unfortunate timing for his injury, cause now we have injury cause to undervalue him when he's up for his 2nd contract, even if he manages to have a great season.

In general, our RB room is full of uncertainty. Coming back from achilles and lisfranc is tough. And, IMHO, Etienne is not going to be the answer at RB. He's too small, he's going to get snapped like a twig eventually, as the carries pile up. Seems like a good guy, and I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see it.

Isn't he the same size as Austin Ekeler and Alvin Kamara?

Bigger than Ekeler, but same size as Kamara. Both are 5'10 215 . I wouldn't really call that small.

He isn't the type of RB you line up and slam in between the tackles 20-25 times a game anyways. That's what JRob and Snoop are for.

Going to be the best RB combo by the end of the year

Talented Kalamari · 07-30-2022, 10:48 PM

If we can get these guys going, it will completely change our offense. Remember how good Freddy and MJD made Garrard look?

Not sure if either will be as good as those guys in there prime. But I think they will rival when Fred and MJD were together. Fred's prime was before MJD got there even though he got his only Pro Bowl when MJD was there and was still great and MJDs prime was after Fred left although was great his first couple years.

Robinson running routes during team practice. Let's hope that he'll be active day one.

Sounds like he’s a little distrustful of his Achilles still and that’s perfectly understandable. It’s a significant and potentially career ending injury that he doesn’t want to aggravate. It’s going to take a while before he feels fully confident.

Nice touchdown signal by the ref....LOL.

Do referees have training camps as well? Asking seriously.

He’ll be taxed at a much higher rate though. People forget especially on these astronomical deals that get announced for some guys how much of it is going to wind up going to Uncle Sam.

And pays an agent, probably a lawyer on retainer, likely an accountant. And then every cousin, half sister, and ex baby mama that comes out of the wood work for a hand out

I certainly hope this was a failed attempt at sarcasm.

I'll do my darnedest to try and shed a tear for our high-earning citizens, but I can't make any promises.

You seem to wear your lack of empathy like a badge of honor. Strange. It takes all sorts, I guess.
