C.Biscuit97 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 They should have traded him last year. His value is at an all time low. Better off just keeping him now. 1 hour ago, Mark80 said: I honestly think that everyone one the team is on the trading block for the right price. Except Josh. I mean, most teams should operate like this. There aren’t many players on this roster who shouldn’t be untouchable. 25 minutes ago, eball said: If Yeldon had been signed as the Bills' feature back I think there would be reason for concern. But he wasn't. And he caught 65 passes last season. This is the kind of move the Pats*** would make and everyone would rave about how much they'll get out of him in a RBBC system. But it's the Bills so nah. I mean you don’t see the difference in comparing the Bills and the Pats? But I get your point. Yeldon is fine in a role. I will say, one of McCoy’s best abilities is his role in the passing game. Do we want McCoy off the field on passing downs?
K D Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Waste of talent to have him on this team the past 2 years. Would have had good trade value back then. Worthless now. Who is trading for a RB over 30 with declining stats and a high salary?

Beane is smart enough to know that relying upon two 30+ year old backs for an entire season probably isn't practical. 1
JerseyBills Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 No chance. Coach and Beane both covet what he brings to this team on n off the field. He'll bounce back imo. And he'll have that C on his jersey. Randomly popped up in my recommendations. He still looked like a top 30 playmaker when he had some space. On those 3rd downs , in this video , he really showed off that rare vision and elite cutting all over the field. I love Yeldon as added depth , no more Keith Ford or random rb we pick up off of a PS mid year. We now have at least 3 capable RB and with those maulers on that OL , could see a resurgence in the run Game!

He had a 4.0 YPC and Fournette had a 3.3? He had 3 times as many receptions as Fournette? He had 5 TDs as a secondary RB and Fournette had only 6 as the primary. Yeldon is signed as the Bills 3rd RB who will be primarily a 3rd down back. I really don't get the problem with this. Shady only had a 3.2 YPC with 3 TDs and 30 less receptions. ?

Plus he'll be 25 when the season starts; not 31. .......hell, in our AARP backfield, "youngster" will need a chaperone and 10PM bed check.......... 1

Stats matter Few carries More TD's I am not saying that Yeldon should start over Shady......but lets not take a starters numbers with one team and compare them to a backups numbers with another.

MacGyver Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 The time to trade him was last year when the Eagles inquired. Beane is a bit late if he's looking to trade McCoy.
JPL7 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Shady isn't going anywhere unless he requests such a move himself. Beane and McD love themselves some Shady. The 3 headed backfield of Shady/Gore/Yeldon is perfectly suited for keeping those older backs fresh and healthy throughout the season, all while keeping depth in case of injury. Even if the Bills draft a RB in the mid to late rounds of the draft, I assure you they won't be dealing McCoy. The Bills have no need to deal Shady. He isn't a cap liability. And whatever minimal asset they could receive in return wouldn't be worth it. I promise. This "Shady on the trading block" nonsense needs to go away.
LikeIGiveADarn Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Would yall do this? BILLS McCoy + 40th pick + 5th Round pick PHILLY 25th pick Edited April 22, 2019 by LikeIGiveADarn
Alphadawg7 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Can we move on from this fake news media speculation that literally ignores every real word that has come out of the real peoples mouths? Beane, McD, Gore, etc have all repeatedly said they signed Gore because McCoy really wanted him here. Gore said he came here because of his relationship with McCoy. They said they want Gore here as a leader and inspiration on how to physically prepare to be in shape late in your career to be effective. McCoy isn't going anywhere unless someone calls Beane and makes him an offer he cant turn down. But I cant see any scenario where Beane is now actively shopping McCoy IMO. Who knows, maybe someone did inquire about McCoy pending how the draft falls, and they signed TJ as insurance to pull off that trade if it falls that way. Beane is a good enough GM that he will not hesitate to make the best decision at any given moment for this team. But I seriously doubt that Beane is out there shopping McCoy. 2

The issue isn’t even shopping. McCoy is 31. If he doesn’t have it in training camp, he’ll simply be cut. Coach speak is just that. It means nothing if Shady’s lost a step. This board is delusional if people think the line is Shady’s issue.

Nextmanup Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 It certainly seems like McCoy doesn't fit into the current plans of the Bills. I still wish they had moved him last year at the deadline when his return would have arguably been greater than what they will get now--if they get anything at all. He could easily simply be released. He will be an interesting player to keep an eye on.
