Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke addressed criticisms of the NFL salary structure, particularly regarding the difference in salaries between running backs and other offensive positions. Kroenke stated that there is no simple answer to why running backs are not paid as much as quarterbacks. He pointed to factors such as the injury probability for running backs compared to other positions and the usage of running backs in modern NFL offenses. He also mentioned that teams often believe they can find similar talent in the draft at a lower cost. Kroenke acknowledged that, on paper, the Rams would love to have a player like Saquon Barkley, but it would depend on whether they could afford it under the salary cap. Overall, he emphasized that the issue is complex and requires careful consideration.
