It's all I ever wanted, really, and I got it here.” – #Bills CB E.J. Gaines feels at home in Buffalo – and hopes it stays that way. Gaines got jerked around quite a bit in St. Louis and he is now in a place where people believe in him and with a scheme that really fits what he does well. I think the only way he doesn't come back is if someone offers him some ridiculous Gilmore type money.

co_springs_billsfan Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Unrestricted Free Agents QB Joe Webb - could go either way, better be cheap.

The only two we would really miss would be Kyle and Gaines. Kyle we may have no control over if he retires, and Gaines might be striking it rich on the free agent market. I would resign one of Deonte Thompson/Jordan Matthews if for no other reason to have some continuity in the WR room to go with Benjamin/Jones.

That would be a serious risk for any team given his inability to stay healthy and in the lineup on a weekly basis.

I agree. Hopefully something reasonable can be worked out with the Bills, but if not there are teams with a lot of cap to burn and he plays a position that gets paid high dollars (Stephon Gilmore anyone?).

Mccoy wont be around for much longer and mckinnon has the skill set just not all 3 downs like mccoy. Any thoughts? I had also thought about this. Likely we will bring in two running backs, but one will certainly have to play special teams. I think a good route would be add a FA RB and draft one in the mid rounds since this is a deep RB class. McKinnon is a good back, and FA RB's just don't usually get huge pay days. Would like to see him in a Bills uniform. Other options, patriots have both Burkhead and Lewis as FA's, can they keep them both? Wouldn't mind prying one of them away from. Carlos Hyde would be a different type of back to McCoy, but I don't think he has shown enough to be relied on to be a future starter here.
