BuffaloBills1998 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Do we go after Melvin Gordon or possibly Henry both are free agents this year and who is the best WR available in this years free agency? I know i don’t want AJ green, guys constantly hurt and is at the end of his career.
MAJBobby Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Never pay top dollar to a UFA RB you will not get your value. yes can get a top flight WR (I would rather draft one) and listening to Beane the draft is where he plans on addressing WR Edited January 10, 2020 by MAJBobby 5
ngbills Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 We will sign a Bilal Powell type player is my guess. Lower tier 1-2 year deal.
Augie Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I’d like to draft a RB like Henry. Much better than paying the big RB bucks, but a bruiser to go with Singletary would be fun to watch. I’d also like to sign a FA WR as well as draft one in the first or second round. But what do I know? I’ll trust our FO to get this pretty much right, and unless it’s KB egregious, I won’t use hindsight to second guess them. (YES, that KB deal still stings a bit.) . Edited January 11, 2020 by Augie 4
That's No Moon Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) RBs depreciate like high-end European sedans. Either buy new factory fresh one with a warranty(draft a guy) or get a cheap one after the depreciation curve is over (Frank Gore) Edited January 10, 2020 by That's No Moon 1 1
Rc2catch Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I would give Henry the big money. Beane works his wizardry and leaves an out after 2 years, sure pay him. But he’s never getting out of Tennessee. Melvin Gordon is the kind of player you definitely don’t pay. More than likely you may find similar players to Carlos Hyde after the draft just floating around waiting on that one year prove it deal cause nobody wants to commit. 2

LABILLBACKER Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Draft Najee Harris in the 3rd and sign Kenyan Drake to a lower end vet contract. Henry and Gordon are going to want way more than we should ever invest. McCoy will be the last big $ RB we will sign for many years. 4

Typically I am all for sticking to drafting RB’s but Henry makes my thoughts go across the grain. This dude is an animal and I would love to see him punish the Patriots. 3

Henry is gonna get Zeke Elliot money. Gordon isn’t signing a small deal either. His hold out made that perfectly clear. 6 minutes ago, billsfan_34 said: Typically I am all for sticking to drafting RB’s but Henry makes my thoughts go across the grain.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I'd pay Henry. That combo would be dynamite to defense. 4
rayray808 Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I think Duke revealed something to our management... Josh trusts big WR's. Not sure we can sign someone who is a big, fast, WR1 so perhaps we end up doing what Beane tends to do, and we move up in the draft to grab one. Should we draft one, then my guess is we sign a RB who is steady and can pound the rock - 100% we will not over pay though so probably won't be a Henry/Gordon type guy.

FA wide receiver like Cooper or AJ Green, I’m all for. Plus one in the draft. Running back in the draft. Find another one similar to Singletary to split time with. Having two back who can run and catch out of the backfield is very tough for a defense. Imagine if when Gore came in, it was just a fresh Singletary.

Releasing Yeldon and the loss of Gores 2M already just about pay the 5M AVV That's exactly what I'd do. Release Yeldon and let Gore retire. Devin RB1, Kenyan RB2 and develop Najee as their apparent RB2 after Drake leaves. 2
