Mister Defense Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Just now, Ethan in Portland said: No thanks. Shady is going for 1100 yards with this new line Just a hunch? Really think the Bills can risk their season on a pipe dream? No sign of life in him last year, consistently. Obviously I hope you are right, but nothing to go on here other than his career stats--not 2018. The Bills cannot take that chance, should not. In the Super Bowl years the Bills almost always cut ties with players when they were done--sign of a good team.

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. I don’t. CJ Spiller has better break tackle ability than this joker. I laughed when he was drafted and new the Jags would be drafting another RB in the near future because he stinks. Yeldon is absolute garbage. So bad.... we all know what this guy could do in a good offense, not read a hole, fall on first contact, and be gone in a year.

Yeldon probably wants to test the waters to see which RB-needy teams don't address RB in the draft. That way he knows the what opportunities exist for which teams. He knows what opportunities exist when teams contact him. You have it backwards.
HansLanda Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 If we have a good/great Oline and a top 12 passing offense, I don't really care who RB 2/3 is.
GreggTX Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 The Bills might draft a RB in the mid to late rounds, but I think the plan is to draft one early on next year and ride Shady this year.

I doubt we'll have a top 12 passing offense and right now our top 2 RB's are over 30. I definitely think our 3rd RB could get a lot of snaps. Also, our OL is average. There is not a single probowl caliber player there. Still, that's a big improvement. Edited April 16, 2019 by GreggTX

Beane just getting to know him, will tell him that he will give him a call in a few years when he’s a bit more ripe He needs to play for the Panthers for a couple of years 18 minutes ago, MakeBuffaloGreatAgain said: I don’t.

Anything is possible, but it's hard to imagine Shady having a worse year than last in 2019 unless this O is riddled by injuries.
The Senator Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 1 hour ago, Clyde Smith said: I rather them draft a RB, but I like Yeldon so i'm on board. It’s looking less and less like that’s gonna happen - at least not til day 3. JMO .
njbuff Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 The Bills can still sign Yeldon and draft a RB. They can keep 4 RB's on the roster, as most teams do, but that includes a FB. The Bills should keep 4 RB's, release DiMarco, as he is useless.
MrEpsYtown Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Yeldon was coached by Kelly Skipper for the majority of his career. I think he is an interesting guy who could thrive in Daboll's offense, as the James White type. I dunno. I'm good with it. He's better than anything in the draft this year not named Jacobs. 1 1

Yeldon doesnt play special teams 2

He said he likes a RB still available in FA. Yeldon catches well out of the backfield. If they sign him they can draft a RB high next year. This is what I was thinking. Do we not only have 1 more year for Shady and Gore is only 1 year. TJ locked in for a few at low money would give them experience on the roster next year with a draft pick in 2020 1

What I'm saying is, he's getting his FA visits out of the way and now he has his rankings of where he wants to play. Teams A, B, and C say they want to sign him if they don't draft a RB. Team B drafts someone, leaving Team A and C. Now he can make his decision because he has all the info he needs.

Yeldon has never played a special-teams snap in his NFL career. Grant played 156 last season, and he broke a 58-yard run out of punt formation in Jacksonville's victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Yeldon ..and hasn't going back to '17. healthy he is a hell of a versatile back. hope they can work something out and he doesn't end up with the patsies**?
dezertbill Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Probably keeping their options open in case they don't land their preferred RB in draft. I like Yeldon though.
