I'm really surprised how much money Jacobs and Barkley got considering it's not a premium position and doesn't correlate to Super Bowl success. On the Raiders forums we were terrified the Raiders may offer him $10 million a season and the Packers give him $14.8 million next season which is kind of shocking. I like Jacobs but the reality is that Zamir White at $1.1 million was averaging over 100 yards per game over the Raiders last four games so it made absolutely no sense to try and match that money.

Barkley is quite possibly the most overrated player in the NFL so another head scratcher he could get $26 million guaranteed as he's not even been as prolific as Jacobs over his career with less yards in more games played and far less TD's. Silly season I guess.
