"Star NFL RBs Unite on Zoom to Address Undervalued Position"
Star NFL running backs, including Nick Chubb, Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, and Christian McCaffrey, held a Zoom call to discuss the financial state of their position, organized by Austin Ekeler. The running backs expressed frustration over the depressed market for their position and the lack of long-term contracts. Barkley and Jacobs were unable to agree to long-term deals before the franchise tag deadline and are not expected to report to training camp. The running backs discussed ideas during the call but no major plans emerged. The last running back to sign a long-term contract worth $10 million or more per season was Chubb in 2021.
