You have the cap space, it seems like Beane is going all out to win now, let's get the best possible players if we have the cap to do so. How do you know another RB isn't better? Or maybe as good, but $3-$4 million cheaper? High-priced RBs are a bad use of cap space, even if it is a one or two year contract. If you fill your rotational RB need and have money left to sign another quality CB or OL or WR with the savings from not signing Gordon at $6-$7 million, the team would be stronger IMO...

I'm not a huge M Gordon fan but I'm interested to see where this goes If you have two lead backs, you’ll have to feed them both....which means we will be passing less. If we hadn’t just given up a 1st for Diggs, I would be more open to Gordon.

You got me, I don't know if there is a better RB, but I've watched Gordon and many other RB's and I think he's one the better ones and I want to be sure of who we sign. He's a dynamic runner and receiver out of the backfield. Knows how to get in the endzone a lot too. 1

wppete Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Miami is going after Gurley hard. I really hope we end up with Gordon. I’m ok with $8million a year. 3 year contract. 2 2

With Gurley released it only should drive the price for Gordon down. He'd come if the $ is ok and he likes the project. Can't see Buffalo as a great "prove it" stop with a young RB already on the roster looking to increase his usage. Edited March 19, 2020 by stony

I would think just having more experience as a group would increase their capacity for better play, at least that is what is touted by those that are supposed to know these things. Go Bills!!! I think they will be improved, I also think they need more talent.

People can pretend all they want but the Bills don't have one yet. I think the offensive line is hovering around average. The right side could use some work.

Then we invested a 1st round pick on a WR to open up the passing game.
BuffaloBills1998 Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Looks like Buffalo is really pursuing Gordon. Give him a 3 year 10 million contract. Then we officially have a 1-2 punch combo with Singletary and Gordon in our backfield 1

Shady to me was somewhat of a disappointment and we didn’t have QB when we had Shady in the beginning. Gordon could benefit for a change of scenery , plus he could definitely help Allen as well. Gordon is a threat in the passing game Edited March 19, 2020 by BuffaloBills1998 1

We dont know the cost for Gordon yet so it's not possible to debate whether we overpaid or not.
