This is how we determine if players are good, right?

I don't think people here know what good is they just see a new name and like it.

Reminds me of Austin Ekeler.

I see James White

[YoloinOhio]

One of the best receiving backs in the league

Meh. I feel like the Bills offseason plan is to maintain the status quo. I know we dont have cap space blah blah blah. If you dont have cap space you dont need an $4M per RB that may not see the field. Spend under $1M on a JAG and use the money elsewhere. Hey we could be fine and battle through the playoffs. Still time - but wish they made a run at the big impact need for a pass rusher or another WR.

I'm assuming he's decent in Pass Pro, but does anyone know for sure?

[babulator]

Thats alot of money for unheralded 3rd down player. He'll need to be out there every 3rd down to see that value and he won't catch nearly as many balls here. (I say 25-30). At least he's good @ picking up the blitz. I imagine this will be his primary role, blitz pickup and outlet passes.

Looks like a solid signing. Another mismatch on 3rd downs. He looks like another weapon for Josh.

[Mike in Horseheads]

Did we sign him to be a slot receiver?

[Big Turk]

Yes!!! This is the 3rd down/receiving threat out of the backfield we have been lacking!

 

Fantastic signing!

I get why folks are excited, and he seems to be an upgrade over Breida. But how much of those big receiving numbers comes from WFT sucking, and them checking it down a lot?

The teams that have somewhat stunted our offense did so by bracketing Diggs and forcing us into the short/check down  game.  Now we have one of the best check down rbs in the league.  And he can pass block

[Roundybout]

 

Wonder if Taiwan Jones stays and Moss is out. 

[finn]

Seems like he would be a natural kick returner, but I don't see any stats on him after college. We certainly need a returner.

Which McCulkin brother is this again? ...the Home Alone kid, or the slimy one on Succession?

Like the player.  Cost is on my higher end of what I would ever pay a RB.  4M and above AVG is my I hate the contract price.

 

So knowing that I am good with this signing.  Will like alot more if Moss gets moved.

 

Yeah I'd like to see the contract details........it's a bit more than I thought they would spend,  I was thinking $2.5M for that position with him or James White and less if they settled for McKinnon due to his injury history.     $4M is an outright lead RB nowadays.

So 3rd string RB...

2nd string as will take Moss's spot.  Good 3rd down back with WR receiving skills and better blocker in pass pro than Moss

No he's not fast so there probably aren't going to be any 30-40 yard plays............ but there is no wasted motion with him when he gets the ball so he plays a lot faster in the 10-15 yard area near the LOS.    

 

Screw trying to force chunk plays.  Move the damn chains!

Exactly.  They don’t use that type of back properly.  You can have a mismatch in the passing game all day but we never send tha back out on a wheel route.

Who is they?  Daboll?  When is the last time that you saw Dorsey call a football game?  I’ll wait

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

This guy can be more than a third down back.  He may be used in lieu of a traditional slot receiver like Beasley.  I believe that this is a very good signing and cheaper than the Edmonds signing by Miami.  McKissic and Edmonds are backs with very similar skills.  Beane continues to fill needs without breaking the bank.  He is setting up the Bills to have a good draft (CB, WR, and Edge ).

what? May not see the field....why do you say that? So you want a crappy RB on the team just because it's cheaper? Trying to win a SB
