Rochesterfan Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 @mikerodak Bills will sign RB/FB Mike Tolbert, source tells @JordanRaanan. I don't hate this - hope the money is right. I expect him to be the "receiving" FB and probably a special teams and short yardage running back. As he was released - he also should not count against our FA signings - potentially a good sign. I will give Whaley props on this and hope it works out. Bringing in guys the coach wants - another good sign.
HappyDays Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 This is what new coaches do, they bring in a few of their guys. Not gonna get upset over a $1 million contract. I am very curious to see what we do about WRs.

thunderingsquid Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Love the signing, love the short yardage bowling balls if used correctly. Just no JUMBO PACKAGE please.
vegas baller Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 He's no LeGarrette Blount. Tolbert is shorter, slower, fatter with 114 yards all last season. Didn't crack the rotation even when Carolina's 1st stringers went down which always happens. Guaranteed to slow down the game and force punts if he plays. Anybody with an OL can gain a yard. Winning appears to be secondary to McDermott. What a coward.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Plus side, he'll have more positive yards than Bush.Map should the whole o line... and d line and practice squad
BADOLBILZ Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I always liked Tolbert and wanted to see him in Buffalo going back to his days in San Diego even.............but he's pretty old now so I'm not expecting much and this is basically a zero cap hit......somebody has to fill that spot so no big deal.
QB Bills Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Getting the feeling that the Bills will be requesting permission to use leather helmets next season.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Bills agree to terms with FB Mike Tolbert The Buffalo Bills agreed to terms with FB Mike Tolbert on Wednesday.
Paul Costa Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Don't forget Williams probably going to be suspended for DWI last Summer,For a couple of games to start the year. He's a good ST guy too. Nice cheap pickup.
boyst Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) RB's are FB, TB or HB's. so being a RB/FB is redundant. He is a FB/HB. Unless you get to the wishbone stuff, TB, HB and FB is all ya gotta know. not picking on anyone, at all!... but it is stuff like this that shows how water down and dumbed down most football has become.

Winning appears to be secondary to McDermott. What a coward. Strong take to glean from a signing of a FB / ST guy. The Bills have had trouble gaining a yard on third/ fourth and short for as long as I can remember.
r00tabaga Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 We can use him on short yardage and goalline This.

Rochesterfan Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 1 year, 1 million Saw that afterwards - thanks - I think that works for me!

Love some of these new members- It's kinda like other countries sending their worst citizens here.
BigBillsFan96 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 It's a party in Buffalo and all the fullbacks are invited...apparently
