Henry still managed 1500 yards last year on an offense with no other weapons and missing their QB for a number of games.
If he only has 15-18 carries a game here, he'd be fresh for the playoffs.
It would force teams to pick their poison. Right now teams plays 2 high safety / drop everyone into coverage against us virtually all game.
With Henry, teams would do that far less.
No. I'm not advocating for becoming a run first team. Look at KC. They are multi-dimensional. Their run game was critical in the playoffs to them winning the SB
In fairness to Von....he did everything he could. No team wanted to sign OBJ because he wasn't fully healthy
Sure, who wants a 1500 yard 13 TD Power + Speed back to make our offense much harder to defend.
You get Henry, draft a few OL early and toss in a dynamic WR and now your offense can win it all
I think Von can play at a very high level for another 3 years if he acl allows it. Bruce and Reggie had their best seasons in their mid-late 30's
His cap hit is likely lower than Edmunds would be
Michael Thomas did quote something on Twitter about how the Bills Medical Staff did tons of research on Allen's injury. Thomas replied with something like "that's how it's done!"
Adding OBJ and Michael Thomas to favorable $ deals and both with a lot to prove could really be interesting.
Would allow us to draft OL each of the first 3 rounds
