In this week's episode, we discuss how the running back position is severely disadvantaged by pro-management bylaws in the business of football. After describing the general framework of how running backs become pros, including the NFL Draft and rookie-scale contracts, we highlight many factors that result in football players in general, but running backs in particular, lacking leverage and labor power.

Topics include recent contract extensions for [5:00] Alvin Kamara and [7:00] Christian McCaffrey; [9:00] relitigating the New York Giants decision to draft Saquon Barkley, and Barkley's limited options in future deals following his recent ACL injury; and [21:00] the legacy of Maurice Clarett's legal fight against the NFL's age restrictions in relationship to the ticking clock of every running backs' career.
