There has been some concern about Gordon's pay being high for RBs.
Keep in mind that RBs are underpaid. To put it in perspective both Elliot and Barkley's rookie contracts had/have cap hits higher than Gordon's.
When looking down our cap hit list in 2020 Gordon's cap hit put him on the same level as Bryce Callahan 7.8 mil, Chubb 7.5 mil , (Gordon goes here 7mil) Todd Davis 6 mil, Jeff Heuerman 4.3 mil, McManus 4.2 mil and Bolles 3,5 mil. Three of these people are playing on their rookie contract.
Yea his cap hit goes up 2 mil in 2021 but that is hard to accurately evaluate until after a week of free agency in 2021. At 9 mil right now Gordon has the 5th highest cap hit for RBs in 2021. No one else has over 6.3 mil. Henry will probably exceed that assuming he gets a long term deal.
