4. De-valuing the running back position
Let’s put this in perspective. DeMarco Murray led the NFL in rushing this past season only for the Cowboys to let their offensive linchpin hit the free-agent market. McCoy, who accomplished the same feat in 2013, was just dealt at the start of the offseason.
McCoy is entering his seventh NFL season and is slated to earn $10.25 million in 2015. Over the next three years, Buffalo is on the hook for $24.25 million. Meanwhile, Alonso is set to cash in a paycheck of $1.7 million over the next two seasons.
