DrDawkinstein Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Interesting seeing the numbers I'm against paying RBs high salaries. HOWEVER, when thinking about pay vs contribution... we're giving Butler (a BUST) $8-9M/year for being a 3rd-in-rotation DT. I'd think Gordon would contribute on Offense more than Butler on Defense. If I had to pick between the two, I'd pick Gordon. 1 1

Expand My guess from seeing the various reports over the past few days is that the Bills had interest to a certain price point and then dropped out - and/or I think his representation may have told the Bills that he wanted to stay in the afc west which is why wawrow reported he thought he would end up in KC or Denver last night after talking to his bills source

But doled it out to a bust rotational DT. I dont want to pay RBs either, but...

Expand Ehh, we dont really have the holes or need on O that we do on D, with players leaving in FA and the way we run rotation. So I can see the imbalance in FA. We went heavy on Offense last year in FA. I do expect us to draft heavily on Offense. But that Butler signing is a head-scratcher for me, especially when compared to other players we could get at that price. Edited March 20, 2020 by DrDawkinstein

Process Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 8mm a year for a pretty average back? No thanks. Mid rd pick at min salary is a much better option. Honestly the best thing to do at RB is to take one in rds 3-4 every couple years and never sign or resign one ever. Even when a back turns out to be elite, that rarely lasts more than a couple years, so many recent examples of this. 1

Expand True but there better than Gurly’s at this point. Gurly’s career unfortunately at his age is mostly likely over or is reaching the end. I think it would be more ridiculous if they gave that contact to Gurley than giving it to Gordon
