As expected, running back transactions dominated the legal tampered period of 2024 free agency. Each of the top available players at this position found new homes, while one star back under contract is getting traded to one of the hottest young teams.Which running back transactions made the biggest impact? Which teams benefitted most by their additions? To find out, we ranked each notable running back move below while leaning on the help of CBS Sports data scientist Stephen Oh, who broke down several of the moves and how it will impact those teams in 2024.Reported deal: Two years, $16 millionThe signing of Henry lifted Baltimore's projected win total from roughly 11 to 12 games, according to Oh. It raised their odds of winning the AFC North by nearly six points and has made them a near lock to make the playoffs. The Ravens' chances at getting to the increased from 30.1 to 34.7%. BAL RB #22 Att280Yds1167TD12FL0 I personally like this addition more than that data above suggests. One of the Lucas Patrick Jersey best running teams now has King Henry leading the way. After toiling on bad teams the past two years, Henry will now get a chance to chase a ring with a Ravens team that won more regular-season games than any other AFC team last season. Baltimore would be wise to limit Henry's touches during the season in order to keep him fresh to a po sible playoff run. Expect the Ravens to do just that as they have a deep backfield that also includes and . I'd be remi s not to mention , arguably the greatest running quarterback in league history.Reported deal: Three years, $37.75 millionNo team improved their stock more by adding a running back this week than the Eagles' whose chances at making the playoffs jumped from 64 to 77%. Their odds of winning the division rose from 34 to 45%. PHI RB #26 Att247Yds962TD6FL2 It was a close call between Barkley and Henry for the top spot. Clearly, Oh's data points to Barkley and the Eagles, and it's hard to argue against those numbers. I, too, feel that Barkley's impact on the Eagles will be significant. My colleague Jeff Kerr, who has close acce s to the Eagles, feels that Barkley is a considerable upgrade from , who had succe s during his lone year in Philadelphia. Barkley proved in New York that, when healthy, there may not be a better back in football. For Barkley to truly make an impact, though, the Eagles will Rashan Gary Jersey have to figure out what they're doing at right guard between now and Week 1.Reported deal: Four years, $48 millionIt initially looked like Green Bay paid a king's ransom for Jacobs, but that isn't the case. His reported deal is front-loaded ($14.8 million for 2024), but backloaded with workout bonuses and other incentives, . LV RB #8 Att233Yds805TD6FL1 Money aside, the Packers are getting a very good back to replace Aaron Jones. While Jones showed that he is more than capable of churning out yards, Jacobs is a slightly le s versatile yet more physical player who likely fits what the Packers want to do moving forward. The league's rushing champion in 2022, Jacobs is surely eager to show that he's still that player after enduring a down 2023 season. Reported deal: One year, $7 millionAdding Jones -- along with quarterback arrival -- slightly ease the lo s of. While their projected win total (eight) only slightly improved, Minnesota's odds at making the playoffs rose nearly five points to 34%. Their odds at winning the conference and are still slim to none, though. MIN RB #33 Att142Yds656TD2FL1 The fact that the Vikings are relatively in the same spot they were prior to Cousins' departure says a lot about the addition of Jones, who finished his tenure in Green Bay with five straight 100-yard rushing performances. Improved offensive line play and quarterback competition for Darnold will only increase Jones' impact.Reported deal: Two years, $8 millionThis was an absolute steal for the Bengals, who got Mo s for half the money of Henry's reported deal with Baltimore. CIN RB #21 Att183Yds794TD5FL0 Henry is clearly the more proven back, but Mo s is an up-and-coming player who has le s than 484 career carries under his belt (as compared to Henry's 2,030). Mo s was clearly willing to accept le s in order to become the featured back for a team withaspirations.While he hasn't had a chance to show it yet, Mo s appears ready to take on the role of featured back. He played well in Indianapolis whenwas out with injuries. Last year, Mo s showed his pa s-catching ability, which was something that likely contributed to the Bengals' interest in him. Malik Taylor Jersey Reported deal: Traded from Cincinnati for seventh-round pickMixon's arrival in Houston surprisingly didn't move the needle too much, according to Oh's data. The Texans' win total projection went from eight to nine games, but their odds at winning the division, making the playoffs and reaching the didn't change much. HOU RB #28 Att257Yds1034TD9FL0 Like the Henry addition, I'm higher on this move than the numbers above. In Mixon, the Texans are getting a very productive former Pro Bowl back who is still just 27 years old. Mixon also has considerable playoff experience (he threw a touchdown pa s in a ) and can serve as a valued veteran on Allen Lazard Jersey a largely young Texans team.Reported deal: Three years, $24 millionWhile he may still have some doubters, Swift nonethele s had a Pro Bowl campaign during his one year with the Eagles. The 35th overall pick in the 2020 draft, Swift is a dynamic player who should make the Bears' offense more dangerous in 2024, especially if is still at the controls. PHI RB Att229Yds1049TD5FL1 Like Jones, Chicago has to improve the situation around Swift if he is going to reach his potential in Chicago. Specifically, the Bears need to solidify their offensive line (mostly at center and tackle) this offseason. Reported deal: Two years, $6.5 millionLike Mo s, Edwards finally get a chance to be a featured back. Also like Mo s, Edwards will do so while playing alongside one of the elite young pa sers in . Edwards is a physical back who the Chargers surely hope can help keep defenses honest while improving their red zone efficiency. BAL RB #35 Att198Yds810TD13FL2 Unlike his predece sor, Edwards is not very versatile, so Herbert and the Chargers would be wise to complement Edwards with a pa s-catching back. Their current backup, , caught just nine pa ses (on nine targets) during his first two seasons.Reported deal: Three years, $24 millionThis was a good move for both sides. The Titans found a capable replacement for Henry, and Pollard gets a chance to show that he is still a productive starting running back after a disappointing 2023 season in Dallas. DAL RB #20 Att252Yds1005TD6FL1 Expect a solid 2024 season from the 27-year-old Pollard, who last year ran behind a line that was clearly in decline. He's just two years removed from a Pro Bowl season that included three touchdown catches and a 5.2 yards-per-carry average.Reported deal: Two years, $11.4 millionEkeler probably David Bakhtiari Jersey wanted to say in Los Angeles, but he instead had to relocate to a team that has little shot at doing anything in 2024. While he is a very good player, Ekeler faces an uphill battle on a team that has a lot of holes, especially on offense. LAC RB #30 Att179Yds628TD5FL4 That being said, Ekeler is arguably the league's most complete back when healthy. He'll get a chance to showcase his special skill set if the Commanders can get him enough help. Reported deal: Three years, $16.5 millionOh's data projects that the Giants will mi s Barkley this season. While their win total basically stayed the same at six games, New York's already slim playoff odds dipped from 8.6 to 5.3%. HOU RB #26 Att216Yds898TD4FL0 Singletary's career so far has been solid but unspectacular. He's a tough runner who has been extremely durable. But it's hard to get too excited about this addition given Singletary's underwhelming production so far (he's never rushed for 900 yards in a season) and the Giants' lo s of arguably the league's best back led to this move taking up the rear.
