James is a mediocre TE - just draft Hock. Get two top OL in and one WR then on to the draft! I'll start getting upset when we lose out on those guys. Picking up some random cheap guys is all good. Fair assessment .. myself.. maybe a segment of fans get caught up in the FA "hoopla" was hoping for James. but again.. who knows..

That's a lot of rain. I am picturing Frank working thru that pile a quarter stack at a time with some Miami bass models and some Too $hort blastin'. At Shady's East Aurora McMansion, of course.
TheBrownBear Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Cost us next to nothing to add a great locker room guy who churned out 700+ yards at a 4.6 ypc clip last year. I don't understand how anyone can knock the move.

JerseyBills Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 NFL Network added some great perspective. "That locker room just got better" " Gore might be the most respected guy in the League" 4.6 ypc in 18. Most ypc in 4 years. Gore said he spoke to many teams but "The Bills wanted me" and "Shady wanted me" I get the jokes and memes but Don'tsleep on this signing. Could be a steal when it's all said and done at 2 mil. This is an overall young team, especially offense, he adds tremendous value in the locker room and looking at him play last year , adds definite value on the field. 1
junior Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Really not sure why people are upset with this. Still a good RB He's getting the 80th-highest APY Is respected by players around the league Is a locker room and team leader Can someone honestly tell me what there is to be upset about here? 1 hour ago, Chandler#81 said: 2 VERY veteran 3rd stringers today. We’re knockin’ ‘em dead in FA! Literally. We’re grave robbing.. Did I miss a signing besides Gore? Or are you talking about the 26 year-old Kroft. Edited March 11, 2019 by junior12thman92

They made it look like a really good add for the Bills. I'm okay with it. I just want them to be able to hand the ball to somebody and that person gains more than 2 yards. I don't care how old he/she is.
Mister Defense Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Come on!!! Just getting home and see this... What is it with the Bills and old, tire, worn out running backs???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It is inexplicable, a horrible move. Exactly the opposite kind of running back they need. Yikes, yikes, yikess... Looking forward to reading this thread for some hope that I am wrong and to see everyone else just flame out at this stupid, waste of money signing. I didn't like the Brown attempt and don't like this--both are not what the Bills need.
auburnbillsbacker Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) I like this move a lot more than the Kroft signing. He played really well last year and was cheap. Kroft has been an injured backup who is now wasting 6-7 million dollars in cap space. He also was excited about coming to Buffalo. Edited March 11, 2019 by auburnbillsbacker
ocemur Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I will pay the PA person at the stadium $50 to play the Golden Girls theme music when the offense takes the field.

JohnC Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 This signing makes no sense to me. I doubt any other team had an interest in him. He's a 35 yr old back who has no burst and has to be sparingly used. He's a high character guy who is well past his prime. The argument that he is an asset in the locker room and in the huddle doesn't address the more important issue of how much can he contribute on the field at this stage of his fading career. My suggestion is instead of signing him as a player just sign him as a coach. Being an upstanding citizen doesn't mean that he is going to be a contributing player. This is such a perplexing and oddball move that it rises to the level of being silly.
