He's young and still has plenty of miles left. No reason we can't get 4-5 years of production out of him - and then we'll replace with with another young back same as we're doing with Mack. Plus even though he's suited to be an every down back, we're not going to use him like that. He's going to platoon with Mack, not to mention Hines and Wilkins.
Backs who came out of college with more carries than Taylor:
Ladainian Tomlinson
Tony Dorsett
Ricky Williams
Herschel Walker
Marcus Allen
Cedric Benson
Thurman Thomas

Even though I mentioned his workload, in general I agree. It’s a disposable position. The transition is fairly easy and you don’t sign guys to second contracts, you just find another one. However, the idea of it being a disposable position is also why I don’t like the value at 41 - especially trading up. Not a major thing by any means, just not what I was hoping for.
