However, if we’ve learned anything from the DeAndre Baker case, it is that jumping the gun too judgment is not ideal. We should give him the appropriate time to figure out what exactly happened before we guarantee anything, but the clear-cut evidence suggests that it will be difficult for him to bounce back normally. He could have lost his career over this incident that occurred at 8:25 AM on Monday.

Next on the list, we dive into Saquon Barkley and the mega-deal that’s pending. Barkley had a phenomenal rookie season but spent most of 2019 nursing a high ankle sprain. The injury severely limited his ability to cut and make Barkley-like plays. Nonetheless, he is a very capable running back and should be able to bounce back in 2020. Whether or not he’s worth $17 million per season is another story. He would have to have a historical season to earn that type of pay, but he has the ability to do so.

We then take a look at the center position, where Nick Gates, Shane Lemieux, Spenser Pulley, and Jon Halapio well compete in a position battle for the starting job. Gates has recently worked with Derek Carr in Vegas under center, attempting to get as many reps as possible before training camp.
