He was not that great today. Had a career year but I think is on the wrong side of 30. If we need him that’s a big failure concerning Stevenson with a fulll off season to improve and another short term rent like Sanders who has really been an overall ineffective signing this year. We don’t have a great deal of cap space and that o line needs at least a couple of new vets. Protect your main investment, Josh , and get him another young weapon or two to grow with. If our d , who usually gives up chunk plays every game contained him completely, just bringing him in as a returner only seems counter to how Beane / Mcd have operated in the past. Great story about the OP ‘s son tho! 1 Quote
davefan66 Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Don’t need his receiving skills. Don’t need him as a running back. If it’s only for his kick return abilities, then no. Too much dinero. We do need help in the KR department for sure. Especially watching our last years guy, Andre Roberts, take it back 101 yards today. Quote

While he’s going to be too expensive, he’d be a perfect fit on this team. Rb, wR, returner. Let’s start adding players that can play more than ONE ST role, a la Taiwan Jones and Andre Roberts. 1 Quote

Not only that, but he’s been pretty effective in every role. He would be the top KR/PR and could be utilized as the third down RB and as a 4th/5th receiving option. He would definitely play outside of emergency situations. He’s near the top of my wish list in the off-season. Quote

His career has not been very good but an all round player with sure hands will be quite useful for the Bills. We need to get comfortable with such 1-2 year rental role players as we continue to be a post-season fixture. The overall team needs to be stacked with draft picks, key impact roles staffed via FA and 1-2 added every now and then for positions which are thin in the draft and FA. Besides, wasnt somebody "complaining" that we only have one 1st rounder on offense? Patterson can be the second 🙂 Edited January 3, 2022 by Fan in Chicago 1 1 Quote

without a drought Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) He doesn't return punts, so people could probably stop penciling him in there. Edited January 30, 2022 by without a drought Quote

JohnBonhamRocks Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Unfortunately I do not think the combination of his age and projected payout is what Beane is looking for. 1 Quote

Yeah can't believe he will already be 31 next season! I expect a bit of a youth movement on the Bills ST next season. T Jones is 34, Kumerow is 30 and both are FA. 1 Quote

Especially watching our last years guy, Andre Roberts, take it back 101 yards today. I think that's missing a point. Where Cordarelle really came on in Atlanta is as a dual run/pass threat. He racked up 1166 yards from scrimmage on offense: 618 rushing for 4 y/a, 548 receiving for 10.5 y/a. Plus of course, kick returning. The Bills tried to use Breida in this role, but the experiment failed for several reasons including ball security, inability to figure out who to block and get it done (fact), and potentially problems with grasping the offense (that's a rumor, I don't know if it's true). At the end of the season, the Bills started to use McKenzie on runs outside the tackles out of the backfield, and Beane commented that "Isaiah really helped our running game". But it's unclear whether 1) McKenzie wants that role 2) McKenzie would be sure-handed enough in that role 3) McKenzie's 178 lb frame would hold up against the punishment of that role. Patterson is a relative Tank at 6'2", 220 lbs, yet he is fast with a 4.42 sec 40 time. He didn't start being used as a dual-threat until 2018 (age 27) in NWE, so even though he's turning 31, he doesn't have the wear and tear on his body that a RB has at that age. I believe he can block, from what I understand. I don't know what his market or salary would be, but one line of thought has been that we're missing that Thurman Thomas dual threat guy, and while it would be great to draft and develop that piece, Patterson could fill an immediate need. He signed with Atlanta for $3M after signing in Chicago 2 yrs/$10M He is friends and former teammates with Diggs - they overlapped in Minnesota. 3 hours ago, JohnBonhamRocks said: Unfortunately I do not think the combination of his age and projected payout is what Beane is looking for. What do you see as his projected Payout? Quote
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 What a strange career path for this guy. Who has ever seen an old WR basically switch to RB? It’s like the total opposite of anything you’d imagine. Quote

Buffalosouth Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Call it 10 mil per year like Levi's predicted value. Who would you rather have on a 2-3 year deal? Or do they get it in the draft? Quote

I think Spotrac is problematic when it comes to a player like Patterson, or for that matter a player with a somewhat unique skill set like Milano. They projected Feliciano, Williams, and Milano all as getting more than they did, and while in part that may have been taking a bit of a discount, I think it also reflects both a skillset that won't suit all schemes (thus a limited market) and sometimes areas where stats don't tell the whole story. 1 Quote
