Re: ESPN: NFC East Salary Analysis
Marion's usually a dinged-up-and-average back who can be pretty good when healthy (see Week 2, 2009), but there's no reason to pay him $10MM as the Cowboys are this season.
I think it's pretty much agreed on that paying for RBs doesn't make a ton of sense in most cases, and Tashard Choice is an excellent example of why-- there's almost always a younger, cheaper guy you can plug in and achieve similar or superior results.
The MB3 contract was an exception to what has been a few years of pretty good financial discipline by Jerry and Stephen Jones (the Cowboys have had a very small number of players in recent years whose contracts constitute a Top 10 salary for their position and rank in the bottom third of the NFL in this category).
