You can't continually rely on aging stars while doing nothing to develop or draft their eventual replacements and then act surprised when those players recognize how valuable they are to you. The number of picks this regime has wasted is f**king insane.

yessir, or if you can't draft, i would sign a FA. seems we are hitting our head on the same wall over and over in the draft at RB. i view RBs as pretty cheap. CMC for example 19m aav is a joke. you got mediocre receivers making that amount. pacheco signed for the lions, *checks amount*, $1.8 mil guy runs hard as bleep. if they were gonna draft i liked emmett johnson, but let's see what this black does but he has to get on the field first

So first Bosa starts a hold-in and now CMC too? That's annoying.

Some think Christian McCaffrey's recent practice absences due to "tightness" could be a low-key hold in sparked by the Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs contracts. pic.twitter.com/Rbwo7SWZFE

Can we stop pretending Lynch is responsible for picking players, especially on offense?

The guy who picked most of them just left to go oversee some soccer teams.

I don't know, couldn't you say the same thing for all the #1 backs on teams aspiring to go to the SB > D Henry, C Brown, K Walker, O Hampton, J Cook. None of them are 'holding in' . All had contracts signed before Gibbs & Robinson and are just as valuable. I'm beginning to think it's an arrogance thing.

i don't think he's even holding in, i think it's august and he got 400+ touches last year so it's gonna look like a whole lot of vet maintenance til the real ball starts
