YoloinOhio Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) I’ve always liked his running style. Would be a nice #2 back to replace Tolbert ..plus still draft one Edited February 27, 2018 by YoloinOhio 2 1
BillsFan130 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 How old is ivory now, 29 or so? Age would be my only concern, having two older running backs. In saying that, he still looked like he had a lot left in the tank last year

I don’t know) and Dimarco and sign Ivory, then draft a RB in the 4th or 5th. Bring back Cadet as well. Marcus Murphy is an ERFA and i would keep him on PS if eligible 5

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 He would be a great complement to McCoy but probably wants much more than a rookie you could draft. Unless it's a special talent like Shady, go young and cheap at rb. 1

Expand I think he would. They were trying to sign him to an extension before that offer sheet came in and it was structured prohibitively so they couldn’t match. 1

Expand Not McBeane's fault the previous regime didnt safeguard Gillislee against a Patriots pouch job. Same with Hogan. He may not be starter material but he's a nice complimentary #2.
JPP Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Ivory is still a very good back.....why not.....our overall running game would improve by leaps and bounds.....than again just about anyone replacing tolbert would do that really.... 2
rodneykm Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Tolbert is still useful, but not as your main backup RB. I'd keep him on and look to someone maybe a little younger to back up Shady like McKinnon. RB - McCoy / McKinnon FB - DiMarco / Tolbert

JohnBonhamRocks Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Anyone have any info as to whether or not Ivory does have gas left in the tank? I have also liked him as a HB for a while. Runs hard. Would be good change-of-pace to McCoy (and hopefully Cadet).
