I gotta wonder when people are gonna drop it. The dude will play out the last year of his contract and most likely just be left to another team or retire. I have no clue why people bring up the money aspect. The bills will have money to spare going through 2019. McCoy’s contract won’t affect anything. When people around here or guys like barnwell bring up McCoy’s money I think it shows how little they know about the teams current situation. This isnt directed right at you.

Just in general .....exactly.....what would be the benefit according to Barnwell as far as doing something in October?....
hemma Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 even Barnwell says: "unless the Bills are in playoff contention, it wouldn't be shocking to see McCoy moved at the end of October. " It doesn't take a lot of wins to be in Playoff contention when the season is less than half over. Not too many teams have thrown in the towel at that point in the year. If we start off 0-7, more heads will be on the block than just McCoy's. 1
billsherd Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Most likey Chicago screwed us by taking David Montgomery ahead of us. 1

Before Yeldon we had two old running backs and I thought it was a big need that we would address in the middle rounds. When we signed Yeldon I thought they were going to leave the position alone, so I was surprised when we took Singletary. But we didn't have any kind of long term plan there so I understand it. Was surprised too but Beane said he stuck to the board and took BPA and with Gore and McCoy not being here next year I can see the reasoning. I was hoping we would go RB in the mid rounds and I would've been elated with Singletary or Henderson. Glad one of them will be on the team. 1

Panicking and picking the next best running back just because a team before us took a running back doesn't sound super Beane-like. Also, Beane mentioned that Singletary was "the most fun player to watch of all the guys he scouted all year". Furthermore, Singletary's similarities to LeSean McCoy would presumably be a viewed as an attractive component to, well...the team that currently employs an aging LeSean McCoy. In the end, we'll always be left wondering. There's just no way to know for sure.

I even understand wanting youth at the position. But the DE/Edge situation is bad this year and dismal next year. Hughes is 31 and in his last year - may be gone next year Lawson has not earned a 5th year option - may be gone next year Murphy does apply nice pressure, but is a lot like EJ Gaines. Good ability but lacks availability. Even Alexander a rotational edge at this point in his career is what 35-36? This was a very strong DL draft and two guys who would probably be 2nd round picks in less strong DL drafts were there for the taking. At that 3rd round pick 2 DE were available that could come in and contribute in a rotation now. (Winovich and Ferguson) Adding Ansah or Clowney fixes a lot of this, but nothing has happened on that front. Plenty of good RBs were available with the second 3rd round pick if Buffalo still wanted to move up for one, and a boat load were still available in the 4th is Buffalo doesn't move. up. I'd feel more comfortable with Shady/ Gore/ Yeldon at RB this year and a hole next year. Than Hughes/Lawson/Murphy this year and a chasm next year in a weak DL draft. When Buffalo moved back into the 3rd I thought it was to steal a DE, but Buffalo took a developmental TE instead and gave up picking anyone in the 4th for it. I was left scratching my head, as were a lot of Bills fans. 10 hours ago, billsherd said: Most likey Chicago screwed us by taking David Montgomery ahead of us. agree 100% 3 hours ago, John from Riverside said: Oh I dont know.....when he is making ppl miss in the middle of the LOS and scoring touchdowns it could look VERY sexy. He did that against inferior competition. Even at his level a lot of guys were getting hands on him. I don't see him breaking those tackles in the NFL. 1
SCBills Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 I love how people advocate for Ferguson because Singletary did it against lower competition... Wait... What?
hemma Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 I don’t think the Bills ever had their eyes on Winovich. I think some guys don’t even make it to their board, which is probably pretty normal. 1 1

Kirby Jackson Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Heard something interesting yesterday. The Bills had Singletary ranked 30 spots higher than the next available player when they selected him. This was an absolute no-brainer to them. Edited May 2, 2019 by Kirby Jackson 6 2 8
WhickedWilliams Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Beane has gone on record saying “Singletary” was the most fun player to watch he had scouted all year.

Beane should be fired for not drafting for need. 2
Mat68 Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 In a Spiller type of carry count he could be very dynamic. I dont think he will be a 25 to 30 carry guy in the NFL. In today's game that isnt needed. 15 to 20 touches in a Tarik Cohen or Alvin Kamara type role makes his selection make alot more sense. 1

His 40 was 4th among EDGE prospects, 3 cone 3rd, and 20 yd shuttle 1st. He is an athlete with good technique and good production against high level competition. I will be surprised if he doesn't have a good career in the NFL. How are you “quicker” in a 40
