Is Investing Big in Running Backs the Secret to NFL Success—or a Costly Gamble?
Four of the top-10 rushing leaders in 2024 signed with new teams during the offseason, including the top two rushers in Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry.
There isn’t nearly as much acclaim among the 2025 class of running backs poised to hit the open market, but teams looking for a better running game may take a closer at free agency following the success of Barkley, Henry and even Josh Jacobs.
The 2025 crop features a couple of repeat free agents from 2024 (Aaron Jones, Alexander Mattison, J.K. Dobbins and Kareem Hunt) as well as some former first- and second-round picks in Najee Harris, Nick Chubb and Javonte Williams. None offer the same star power as the aforementioned trio, but none will cost as much, either.
