TC in St. Louis Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I like Singletary better than Gordon. Throwing 8 million a year to Gordon would be excessive. In my opinion we need a bruiser to complement Singletary's style. I have recommended AJ Dillon from Boston College. He weighs nearly 250 and runs very fast. He's strong, has a 41" vertical lift (handy if Josh overthrows a bit). FYI, Devin Singletary ran a 4.66 forty at the combine. Dillon ran 4.53. For what it's worth. 3
Nester Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 wow they overpaid. Elway is not long for this league. 1

Unless your name is Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders, Marcus Allen or even Bo Jackson, your not gonna have a big market and teams aren’t gonna wanna pay you because every RB is now looked at as replaceable.
TC in St. Louis Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I don't think we need to sign any free agent running backs. We have Singletary, Yeldon, and we'll find somebody in the draft that doesn't cost anything compared to a free agent.

I think he’s right up there with Donahoe. The only thing he’s riding on as GM was the fact that he got Peyton Manning. Been making bonehead decisions since Peyton left 2

Dude deserves more than 8 million aav haha. 2
Buff76ers Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Ya i was ok with it if it happened but don't really care either way cause i am pumped about singletary. It wouldn't surprise me if we took a flyer on Devonte Freeman though.

Yes, O has needs, never said it didnt. But I also think theyre expecting the young TEs and RT to develop (which is reasonable). And they already addressed WR, and will still prob add another WR and RB in the draft. I just think the Butler signing is a head scratcher at that value.

He probably run for 3,000 yards or more Edited March 20, 2020 by BuffaloBills1998

I mean... hypothetically If it is true, this is some *****... guy tanks his value by holding out because the Chargers refuse to pay him what the whole world knows he isn’t worth, then he plays like garbage for them when he comes back, they don’t want him, he then chooses less money so he can “stick it to them” twice a year.... super strange flex.. 1

Was making a point that I’m not paying 8-15 million for a RB of today and that kind of money I would only give to a RB of the past 1

Totally agree on Taylor & Dobbins, they're both much better than Melvin Gordon & can be had in the 2nd round. I like Clyde, but he's too much like Singletary to a be complimentary back to him.

He felt disrespected by the chargers and felt they were undervaluing him. It’s done and over with, Let him have his revenge lol
Like A Mofo Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I really dont know why Bills fans were thinking Gordon was going to come here

We have Singletary, Yeldon, and we'll find somebody in the draft that doesn't cost anything compared to a free agent. I want to see Yeldon replaced. He was inactive for most of the games for a reason. And, when he did play, it was painfully obvious that he is incapable of even breaking a tackle. The team can do a lot better than him. 1
BuffaloBills1998 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Just now, Like A Mofo said: I really dont know why Bills fans were thinking Gordon was going to come here It was reported that it was close. But thinking about it now I think he wanted to stay in the AFC west
