With the cap going up to 80 mill this is right in line with what players like backs get when their contract year is underway. He would have commanded this or more on the open market easily; it’s not like he isn’t comfortable here in fact I think we see a more relaxed and engaged Backlund for the rest of the season here with this behind him.
Great value - maybe 1 year too long but so what the guy is awesome and underrated criminally at times.
