The #Vikings signed FB C.J. Ham to new contract that's worth $12.25 million over four years, including $4M in 2020, source said. A nice bump from the restricted tender.

Wow, they really do love this kid. One of the best FBs in the league that in a pinch, could handle 10-15 carries at RB in an emergency.

We might have a $45 million dollar backfield in 2021.

I like Ham but... WTH?
Is he really good enough to be the 2nd highest paid FB in the league? And even if he is, do we need that?
I was told Kubiak was the genius behind our running game. Turns out, the genius is actually CJ Ham!
The Chargers just signed Austin Ekeler for 4 years/$24 mil to be their starting RB. We just gave half that to a guy who blocks and gets 2 touches/game. Okie dokie.

Bump. I realize a lot's going on today but can someone please tell me why this Ham deal was a good idea? Thank you!

Wow, that's a lot. You can't find a FB in the 6th round who could replace what he gives us...at a fraction of the cost? Keep in mind, only, what, about a third of NFL teams actually use a FB? Less?
