Problem is, then we have no offensive line. That’s why it was absolutely a necessity to “buy” a few offensive line starters this off season.
Funny you bring up AB. I was just telling my wife, we might as well have given AB 40 million a year all guaranteed to get him here. At least then the cap space is being spent on a difference maker at a position of need.
Certainly doesn’t seem like cap space matters most. Indianapolis- zero deals, Buffalo - Zero deals, Cleveland - zero deals, Jets - one deal. Top 4 cap space teams, one combined deal.
I’m still hoping the Bills are stealthy in on Bell. 85 receptions for 655 yards in 2017. To go along with 1300 rushing yards. 11 total TD’s. Give him 15 million. Cut Shady and Gore and it’s like your paying Bell 6 million a year. Yeah, I’ll take Bell for 6 million more than Gore and McCoy.
Problem is, it’s a low-risk no reward move. You aren’t getting a game breaking back, nor one that can develop into a game breaking back. Would have rather spent league minimum on an UDFA RB.
I don’t get the logic behind this one. I can’t see it at all. “Dawkins opens up a gaping hole to the left, you could drive a truck through that, here comes (Shady, Ivory, especially Gore) and.... ohhh he breaks a hip.”
If the Bills org wants them, its going to be an overpayment that people will probably complain about. I definitely want Morse and Williams but I’m realistic as well. It’s going to cost a lot. If they want both of them, I’m preparing for 15 million per for each. Anything less would be pleasantly surprising. I think at that cost you definitely get them, even to Buffalo.
I’ve said before. Morse and Williams still on the market. I honestly don’t care how free agency plays out if they can land those two. For all we know they are on the full court press for those two and think its likely they sign.
The good news is, the Bills haven’t signed anyone and none of the top OL have signed (besides Brown). One could optimistically deduce the Bills are therefore negotiating with Paradis, Morse, and Williams.
Call me crazy. But man do I want Bell on the Bills. Great running back, fresh after sitting out a year. Amazing receiver out of the back field. Sign him to his 15 million, cut Shady and his 7.
