Welcome back to NFL Total Access The Podcast! I'm NFL Senior Writer, Andrew Lavey and today we have an incredible lineup of topics to discuss with our special guest, the knowledgeable Mike Yam. 
First and foremost, we dive into the latest news on the contract stalemates between the New York Giants and their star running back Saquon Barkley, as well as the Las Vegas Raiders and Josh Jacobs. It's franchise tag deadline day, and we'll bring you the most up-to-date information on these negotiations. Join us as we unravel the complexities of these situations and explore the impact on the players and their respective teams.
Shifting gears, we tackle a burning question: What has happened to the valuation of NFL running backs? We examine the factors that have led to a shift in perception and discuss what it would take for teams to recognize and reward the significant contributions these players make to their organizations. We'll delve into the evolving landscape of the running back position and explore potential solutions.
In this episode's edition of TA Summer School, we shine the spotlight on the secondary. We discuss the current crop of cornerbacks and safeties who have either built, are building, or will build a suitable resume for consideration in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Find out who's a lock for enshrinement and who remains on the outside looking in. Additionally, we address the question of whether the pass-happy nature of the modern NFL, along with the rules favoring quarterbacks and wide receivers, is hindering deserving candidates from getting a fair shot at the Hall of Fame.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
