US Egg Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Just more baseless babble from a "Hey, look at me", I am an insightful football guy. Make more sense speculating what's the next stupid stunt a Bills fan attempts that ends up on social media for this season. Though, it'll be pretty tough to top Explosion guy and Over the railing face plant guy. Edited October 7, 2019 by I am the egg man 1
LABILLBACKER Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Big No. Frank's been amazing and Devin will be back 100% for Miami. And we can draft another RB in April as insurance for Gore. And finally there's still Murphy available who can give you decent carries. We have options but no to Gordon. Edited October 7, 2019 by LABILLBACKER 2
jletha Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I just dont think this is the way Daboll and McBeane want to build the offense. If all we were missing was a talented RB to compliment Gore and SIngletary while also being able to catch when needed we never would have gotten rid of McCoy. We would look pretty dumb IMO to cut Shady and then trade for Gordon. Of course Gordon is younger but for the 1-year fill in role he likely wouldnt be that much of an upgrade over McCoy, certainly not enough to tip the scales enough to make as a SB contender.
SCBills Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Initial reaction was a hard pass, but after reading into it, and how we'd probably get back that 3rd anyway if we don't resign him after the year.... I mean..... If Diggs costs us a 1st as a lower tier #1, is that better than trading away a 3rd for Gordon - assuming we sign him long term? If we don't, we get back that 3rd in a comp pick, most likely. I'm certainly over paying big money to running backs, but Gordon is also big in the passing game. It's intriguing at the very least. 2

But the Bills running game is hurting, defenses are keying on Allen and not worrying too much about the run. Gore is great in spots, but he's not a lead back. Maybe Singletary can be the lead guy with Gore filling in for the tough yardage, but it definitely won't hurt his progress to bring in an elite back to watch and learn from. I would make this trade in a heart beat. I don't think Gordon is an "elite" back 1
Lurker Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Nope. Gordon doesn't seem like a process guy to me. If they swing a trade, it will likely be for depth. Probably at LB or OT. Before yesterday, I would have said WR, but Duke looks like he could be that guy...
timekills17 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I think some are missing the salient point here. Even if we only get him for this year - he's $3.3 million we have and we get back the pick we give up PLUS we get a 5th rounder. 2
Phil The Thrill Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 32 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Never going to happen. Chargers would look foolish. They will pay him the $3.3 mil and get a comp pick for him, or if he lights up up this year franchise him. I agree. There’s no way this trade happens

We don't NEED a RB. Now, if we're talking a 3 and Zay for Diggs and a 5, I'm all in. Singletary is too small to be a two down back even, and probably just perfect for the role they were using him in?
r00tabaga Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Gore & Gordon would be too much of a tongue twister....
All_Pro_Bills Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 It doesn't seem like a trade the Chargers would make but if I were Bills front office/coaches I would seriously think about it. Adding Gordon would certainly upgrade the RB position. My second thought on the trade terms was do you think the Patriots would make that trade for Gordon? Getting Gordon and a 5th for their 3rd RB and a 3rd for minimally about 1/2 season rental, or a comp pick if he goes free agency, or signing him to a longer term deal. I bet they would.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 I think I'm using my capital to bring in a WR who is a threat. 1

Maybe Singletary can be the lead guy with Gore filling in for the tough yardage, but it definitely won't hurt his progress to bring in an elite back to watch and learn from. Gore had a fantastic game as the lead back against the best defense in the league, and is on pace with his career average of 4.4 yards per carry. But aside from that, yeah we'll have Singletary going forward even though I wouldn't be opposed to renting Gordon for the playoff run. Just not sure about the logistics of compensatory picks in that situation. 7 minutes ago, Socal-805 said: Wow. Thanks for the clarification. Why would the Bills NOT do this?? Would basically be highway robbery if true, thus it won't happen.
BillsfaninSB Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 That is a very good deal for the Bills. I would pull the trigger. Singletary has missed 3 games. It seems possible it can happen again.

quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 We have singletary and gore. This would be a Billsy move of old. WRs and lineman. That's all I would entertain.

I'd like to swing a deal for someone who could slide into 1 slot and still use the guys you have and Foster, McKenzie.
