    no, I dont think Leon is going to get jones-drew money. thats 8 million a year. Leon was looking for 4-5. So i see his being much more like 5 years 25 million or so.

    Jones-Drew is the unquestioned starter as well. Leon is not, more of a platoon.

    MJD deserved more then what he was getting paid previously. he clearly outplayed his contract

    Not really as there is much speculation that Jax will draft a bruiser to compliment him.

    8m a year is a little expensive for 200 carries a year. He?s gotta take the load now, but they need a viable backup.
