Bills Sign Ivory

[KD in CA]

I've always liked Chris Ivory -- solid vet, hard runner.  Now draft someone on day 3.

[Captain Murica]

Doesn't cost us in the compensatory pick formula, and he's solid depth to have.

Really don't understand this signing. So many RBs available through FA or the Draft. And  they're younger and for less money.

That’s good because they still need 2 more

I have too. Especially with the Jets. Ivory is a good pick up.
Marrone still cannot produce a quality O line.

idiot

 

Draft one to compete with Cadet or whomever

I'm on the fence, he's proved in his history he can carry the rock all 4 quarters. He will be a solid compliment to shady, power with a dash of speed. Unlike Tolbert, who is slower than my grandmother. But I agree there's alot of younger faster fa rbs out there but god forbid shady goes down, ivory has proven to carry the rock. I have a feeling bills still trade up to draft a QB and draft rb late, ivory is just insurance if the bills swing and miss on a late round rb.

I have sources deep within that the Bills brass aren’t happy with Cadet’s rehab. They’re likely going to part ways. Likely replacement is Ebony.

I wouldn’t totally sleep on Aaron green. He’s under contract. Kind of a homeless man’s Shady McCoy. Just get a UDFA, they said. Dime a dozen, they said.

[Ga boy]

IF the Browns or Giants say Shady have to be part of a deal, then Ivory becomes #1.  Maybe this gives GM this option, if it presents itself.

not very uplifting report Yolo.

Hope they draft some speed with hands now that Ivory is in place.

I was kidding 

[FearLess Price]

2 year deal to upgrade Tolbert. Good move. We can pick up 2 rooks in UDFA and see if we get a diamond in the rough.

churn the roster. i got no problem with that.

Guy seems half smart too. i do think thats prerequisite of late. Same with Vontae Davis. speaks very well about defenses and his experience with different Coaches back to College.

Right. One draft pick and 3 key low level signings fixed our secondary last off season.

 

Im excited to see what we do this time around. 

 

The Cousins deal will be a deciding factor on whether McBeane trades up for a QB.

 

Giants trading picks for players shows us they could be a trade partner if Denver fails to sign Cousins.

DeMarco Murray was just released. Rather have him than Ivory. 

[Doc]

He will cost a lot more.
