RB injuries are so common, you would like to have 4 guys who can play. Yeah, I agree with this. A mid to lower round flyer sounds like a good idea. Younger, fresher legs. I would like that RB to be a Bettis type battering ram for the goal line pushes. 1
Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Something special happening in Buffalo. Love it! I think McBeane understood they had to upgrade the #2 RB spot and seen how important it was facing a team like the Saints and watching the Eagles second half. I hope Cadet can come back for the #3 and then continued practice squad develop.

I'd rather see Cadet get 3rd down snaps than Ivory. He isn't dependable with the football in has hands. I really like Cadet. It sucks that he was injured, that really hurt the Bills depth last season... Edited March 6, 2018 by ricojes
Steptide Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I still like cadet as our 3rd running back too. Could be really good in time 1

BigBuff423 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 IF the Bills keep Shady, and I'm not sure they do, I think this indicates any RB they Draft is a 4th round guy or later....you don't want to Draft a RB high and then have him 3rd on the list, this isn't like a QB. Once he's in the stable, you want him running...the clock to 30 years old stops for no one. And before anyone says, Beane outright stated Shady is a big piece of the team for next year consider this: we're all about smokescreens for Draft time, EXCEPT when the GM says things we want to hear and two, given how Shady was traded just 3 years ago, I think the team remembers and wants to do it the right way IF they're going to do it. Meaning, I think they want to be able to talk to Shady first and let him know what's coming and no better way than to come right out and say he's a big part of their future plans. Then they can change directions if the trade happens and just say, "It was an offer we couldn't refuse"....

Wsam4031 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Hate that Ivory is 30 but one of my favorite players since his time in NO. This guy just runs hard ever time he touches the ball. He doesn't go out of bounds and welcomes contact. If hes got anything left is a great addition to the locker room.

elltrain22 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Good news!! For a few reasons. 1. Ivory is a good player, and a nice option for short yardage/goal line 2. Eliminates or severely decreases the need for an early round pick being spent on a RB, now we can draft another positional need 3. our FO is demonstrating very good presentation. 2 visits, and 2 signings!! 4. we can get rid of Tolbert!! 3

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Filling out depth in free agency could be a sign of a trade up already in the works. They've been pretty agressive so far. Still plenty of roster holes though. Edited March 6, 2018 by TheTruthHurts
