Tim Tebow

You gotta love rookies that take endorsement deals before they even play a down of NFL football. We have another backup QB on the Broncos that did the same thing, and look at how much of a star he is now... Hint: "Now I'm Done!"

Who will be the starting running back?

For the Texans?



Is it the HOT rookie Ben Tate? Will the once up and coming star Steve Slaton make a comeback this year? Or will the the second year back Arian Foster pick up where he ended last year as the starter? I'm sure that Slaton will get a chance to start again, with the condition that he holds onto the ball; but you've got to think that Tate will be mixed in by how early they took him in the draft. Arian Foster is a complete mystery to me this year. Some depth charts have him still listed as the starter, but most evidence points to Foster's carries being few and far between. Toss it up to training camp...

For the Bills?


I've got to think that Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller will play out like Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush. The only thing is that most fantasy experts are predicting to pick Spiller higher than Jackson which wouldn't make any sense if this situation plays out like Thomas and Bush. Hmm... And where will Marshawn Lynch be in all of the this if he doesn't get traded? Awkward!

For the Raiders?


Darren McFadden was supposed to be the second coming of AD. What happened? Is he really second rate to Michael Bush? According to some fantasy experts Michael Bush will get most of the carries. Not that Bush is a bad running back, he would've been a first rounder excluding injury, but come on! Will the Raiders have back-to-back 1st round top 5 picks bust? Sad...

So Chris Johnson wants a new contract? Let's just see how his 2009 salary compares to other running backs...

I'm reading today how the Tennessee Titans are going to give Johnson an additional 2.5 million "signing bonus" on top of his $550,000 base salary this coming season to possibly make him end his current holdout. The only thing that I'm thinking when I hear this news is: How much do other starting running backs make in salary (that are obviously not on the same level talent-wise as Chris Johnson)? Because right now Johnson is probably the best running back in the NFL. No offense Minnesota fans. So here are the 2009 base salaries for starting running backs:

Jones-Drew, Maurice $13,100,000
Jacobs, Brandon $11,506,110
Bush, Reggie $7,089,940
Tomlinson, LaDainian $6,731,630
Jackson, Steven $5,507,280
McFadden, Darren $5,391,760
Moreno, Knowshon $5,080,000
Ward, Derrick $5,006,760
Mendenhall, Rashard $4,801,240
Gore, Frank $4,350,000
Grant, Ryan $4,250,000
Johnson, Chris $4,249,680
Benson, Cedric $3,750,000
Brown, Ronnie $3,608,399
Buckhalter, Correll $3,004,810
Wells, Beanie $2,790,000
Jackson, Fred $2,253,770
Jones, Julius $2,000,000
McCoy, LeSean $1,680,123
Portis, Clinton $1,252,280
Greene, Shonn $1,215,000
Turner, Michael $1,007,280
Peterson, Adrian $760,330
Williams, DeAngelo $745,000
Rice, Ray $735,760
Addai, Joseph $718,720
Maroney, Laurence $697,280
Barber, Marion $624,420
Harrison, Jerome $539,160
Thomas, Pierre $465,590
Slaton, Steve $392,280
Smith, Kevin $391,370
Charles, Jamaal $390,200
Forte, Matt $388,120

I highlighted some of the best running backs in the league last year to give some perspective. I just want to all of you to sit there and marinate on what some of these players (that only average a 5 year career) are making and what they are producing!
