Kmart128 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I like it. But,we are signing TWO FB's? DiMarco is a FB. Tolbert will be a goal line powerback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 According to Chris Brown ,Tolbert has signed. Nothing about Dimarco Also,Tolbert is more than his 33 rushing td's. He's caught 12 td passes,and is a phenomenal blocker. He's the whole package.In on every down. Whats the reason for signing Dimarco?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) $4 mil on a FB? No Juice? Well, TT can't hit a TE over the middle anyway. Maybe the new FB could help pick up the people running by our turnstyle right tackle. Edited March 8, 2017 by Green Lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderingsquid Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Well, DiMacro can chat with the old Bills players and be like "Hey, you might have lost 4 straight Superbowls but you never had a 25 point lead and blown it in a Superbowl!!!" Â OMG. Too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Because they couldn't go out and miraculously overhaul their passing game with all the great FA QBs out there. If they had scored the same amount of points but the passing and rushing rankings were flipped all would be right with the world. You're probably right. Â "It's a passing league"...maybe so. But more than that, it's a score more points league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 4 guaranteed = 4 Its only 1 million per year gunanteed. He can earn up to 2 million a year depending on bonuses. Not a bad deal at all. Cap hit this year is likely only 1 million depending on how xontract is structures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still processing the TT signing as well. Hard to get excited. Edited March 8, 2017 by Green Lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Kirwan just talked about how valuable that both DiMarco and Kyle Juszczyk were for their QBs. Said that both Ryan and Flacco talked to him about how important these guys were, went of their way to praise each guy. Blitz pick-up, blocking, catching, etc. Super valuable. Â Worth noting that DiMarco's deal is 4 / $8.5M (4M guaranteed); KJs is 4 / $21M ($10M guaranteed) O_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more than that, it's a score more points league.  I like it. But,we are signing TWO FB's?I get that, and it is a bit of a head scratcher on the surface. But it's still early. Who knows if Gillislee will be back, and Bush is out. And the two FBs offer different things. ST will also need some bolstering, with Easley, and Alexander (possibly/likely) out.  I'm going to wait and see how the rest of the offseason shakes out, and how these two players are utilized, before I pass judgement. I/we may not see it right now, but there has to be some kind of vision from the staff for them to be brought in. At the very least, it's probably safe to assume that our run game will continue to thrive, with them, Shady, and Taylor all in the mix, and they bring multiple pro-bowls with them.

Heitz Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017  @Andy_Benoit Patrick DiMarco was the best FB in NFL last season (wasn’t even close). #Falcons need him back.  From 3/3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffAlone Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I've seen Tolbert.maybe phenomenal was a reach. But seriously, he can bulldoze,but is better blocking on sweeps than up the gut type runs. And besides that,he's a three down guy,if need be.He can really do it all. Power,blocking,good hands,and a nice demeanor. I love that signing. I don't see the need for Dimarco,and I've not seen anything that officially says we've signed him Tolbert could sign now because he was cut by the Panthers. Dimarco is a pending UFA and had agreed to terms, but can't sign until tomorrow at 4 when FA officially begins.yeah,I get that.But why would we do both?

JTO Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 How do you know this? Â Sorry guys, we won't get a comp pick for Gilmore, but we will get an all pro fullback, a backup Panthers linebacker and a backup Ravens WR. #BillsFootball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not even make the roster.if that's the case,why bother? I mean,who's the odd man out? Td Mike? Are we planning on losing him? I don't see J Will in jeopardy of losing a spot. How many do we keep on the active roster? We could draft a camp body way cheaper than thatJust makes me think they find value in him,and if so,we keep 5 rbs/fbs.But again,in a good class for rb's this year,why pay three in FA? Meaning Td Mike,and these guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
