Yahoo Sports NFL on Christian McCaffrey
From the article
McCaffrey is 30 years old and coming off another tremendous season, running for 1,202 yards and catching 102 passes for 902 yards... This summer, Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs helped move the running back market right past McCaffrey. Both secured enormous extensions that changed the financial landscape at the position.
STACKED’s take
McCaffrey's elite production and market shift create rare leverage for final payday.
At 30 years old, McCaffrey is coming off an elite season (1,202 rushing yards, 102 receptions for 902 yards) and remains one of the league's most productive and valuable offensive players. The source argues he has significant leverage heading into contract negotiations because the running back market has moved past his current deal; Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs recently secured enormous extensions that changed the financial landscape at the position. McCaffrey's guaranteed money on his current two-year, $38 million extension (signed two years ago at $19 million per year) has essentially run its course, and at his age, this may be his final opportunity to convert elite production into significant guaranteed money.
