I don't see the comedy in this or maybe it wasn't supposed to be funny? of course, not to insult or anything but coming from an avatar like that, it may be just a steaming source of sarcasm? as for TJ, I'm on board!
H2o Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Makes sense to me. Though not great at anything, he is a quality backup.

IMO Yeldon is the type of back that could go from a bad offense with a bad QB like Jacksonville, to a team with good offense and QB and have a huge jump statistically. If we get Yeldon and Allen takes a leap, I could see Yeldon having a great year, especially if McCoy really is more done than we think. Also if we land Yeldon, it would allow us to still draft a RB but not have to make it a priority. We can wait for one to come to us in the draft at the right time and not have to overdraft one. If we don't have one fall to us at the right time, no big deal. We fill other holes/add depth this draft and are very well situated to draft a RB in 2020. I can't see why anyone would want to turn the Bills looking at Yeldon into a negative. I love Yeldon while he was at Bama, he was nice his first few years. He had more burst a few years ago. Yeldon isn’t the problem, the way they are handling the position is.
Iamkrgr Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Absolutely makes sense to sign him. Still in his prime with not a lot of wear and tear. Would provide a good receiving option out of the backfield. I think you'd still target a guy like Rodney Anderson or Bryce Love in the 6th or 7th(if available) and let them rehab.
TigerJ Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 The discord in Jags land is a bit of a red flag, but there is lot's to like about Yeldon. The Bills have one of the better locker rooms in the league, I think, and might be strong enough to help Yeldon stay on task. If the Bills did sign him, it would certainly raise the level of competition.
NewEra Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Considering the draft class, it makes sense. 1 year deal and possibly draft one next year. He’s not a lead back but he’s capable of delivering 1

Nope....just fit one that fits the blocking being put together....... To me this OL screams power running game.......so.......a power back makes sense (I have the sneaking suspician that Gore is going to end up looking better then Shady....hope I am wrong though) 1

BuffaloRebound Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 This is the time of year where teams bring in vets for visits and tell them if the draft falls a certain way, we’ll sign you immediately after.

Mister Defense Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Hope this happens--excellent receiver too, and young. To me, this, inexplicably, has been one of the most important need areas not yet addressed. So, while late in the game, could be a key pick-up. Shoot, at 25, who knows what this guy could do on a good offense. 1
May Day 10 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 He is this generations version of eddie george for me Without fail ends up on my fantasy teams and disappoints. Yet i always end up with him
Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 No thanks. Shady is going for 1100 yards with this new line
