Buffalo03 Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Don't get me wrong, Aaron Jones is the man and I would love him in a Bills uniform but I think he is gonna be commanding too high of a salary. Chris Carson is said to average about $7-8 million a year on the market which honestly isn't to bad. Before last season in which he was hurt he had an 1100 yard and 1200 yard season and has been reliable as a pass catcher out of the backfield. Maybe something like a 4yr $30 million contract is reasonable. That would come out to about $7 million a season. I read somewhere that Chris Carson is the best back in the league when it comes to broken tackles and he is a bruising type of back. As far as Henry, he's young, talented and would easily improve our TE corps. A nice weapon for Josh. Beane sounded like he wanted to improve the TE position at his end of year press conference so I'm interested to see what happens. I'm not saying to sign both but one or the other. Both would be helpful 5 4 2 2 3 1 2
mannc Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Carson is exactly what we’ve lacked at RB the last two years. Would be a great signing. Edited March 14, 2021 by mannc 2 2
CaptnCoke11 Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Chris Carson is always injured and will cost a ton. I doubt Beane is going to invest in that. Henry i can get behind but I’ll pass on Carson. 7 7
Brennan Huff Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) If we’re playing Madden with the salary cap off, then yes let’s sign both of them Edited March 14, 2021 by Brennan Huff 2 2 10 2 3

Henry i can get behind but I’ll pass on Carson. I don't think he is going to coat that much because of his injury history. Again, I think $7 million a season is reasonable. Considering someone like Aaron Jones is slated to get like $12 million a year or higher 2 1
Don Otreply Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Not seeing Beane spend what is altogether to much money on an as stated above, an often injured RB, when the O line and D line are in need of attention as it were. The old true-ism that “ The game is won and lost in the trenches” persists, because it’s true... Edited March 14, 2021 by Don Otreply 3

You must have been thinking of Zach Moss. Edited March 14, 2021 by mannc

Iiiiiiiiive Got a Feeeelin Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Hunter Henry would be around $10mil a year i dont think we can afford that

I agree wholeheartedly in focusing on the trenches, but the Colts had a better OL and DL than us... and we beat them in the Playoffs mainly due to Josh Allen and our WR’s.

TheBeaneBandit Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Hunter Henry on top of our WRs would keep defenses from stacking the box, allowing our offense to run like a sports car. The only drawback would be that the team would be forced to use the first pick on a pass rusher. I'd be good with this, just prefer to have BPA as the option with the top pick. But damn that'd be a smooth ass offense if they could add Henry...... 1

LyndonvilleBill Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 I was listening to a show the other day (not sure which one...) but they were talking about the RB and it made sense to me. They were saying you never sign a RB to a second contract unless he is a top 5 or a generational talent. You use him for his rookie contract (3-5 yrs) tag him for a year (or 2) and then replace him. It's not a wise place to spend 8+ million for a second contract with such a short shelf life of the position.. Just made sense to me. Is Carson a top 5 or generational talent I guess would be my 1st question..
delirious Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 What is with you guys and wanting expensive running backs 1 1 5
SCBills Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 This is a good thread, imo. Both guys seem to be players we could target with our remaining cap space/Beane finagling some additional cap space. Of course it’s highly unlikely we sign both (which the OP clearly admitted). I’d go Henry.. we can draft a RB early that can produce. Any TE we draft is likely another guy we have to develop a bit. We’re already doing that with Knox.
