At least 7 of y'all got it.

I like it when anyone finds a niche.

 

@BringBackFergy, @Gugny amirite?

 

I guess we all find our niche eventually.  Sometimes it's a good experience.

great football player.   can play multiple positions at least at league average level.  very valuable and great price.  

[Richard Noggin]

Anyone remember which play it was last season where he ran faster than whomever he was blocking for (down the right sideline)? His mph were up around 20/21, which is Derrick Henry territory as a 240 lb human being. He might have had the highest mph on the team that day (one of the stats they display prominently at the stadium).

It's stuff like this that makes Fullback a hill I will die on. 

 

People like to talk about how the FB is obsolete, but the game still has moments when you need a yard, and everyone in the build knows you need a yard. The fact that Gilliam can do that, and also have value as a pass blocker and a TE means I have no problem for paying a little over the vet minimum on the guy for another two years. It's not like we are dropping big money here.

AND he’s a core special teamer.  AND he can play TE.  AND he plays with a chip on his shoulder.

 

Totally smh at anyone who is critical of this extension or feels like it is a sign the Bills want to go “conservative” on offense.

Interesting when Reggie talked about Ken Dorsey's statement to the offense in OTAs that everyone will learn multiple positions.

To be a fullback in the NFL it feels like you almost have to be a core teamer.  He blocked a bunch of kicks in college, so id love to see him get a few here.

Line up in offset I-formation with Gilliam to the left

Singletary gets the handoff and starts running right

He flicks it back to Gilliam, who nobody bothered to account for

Gilliam has plenty of time to throw and hits Josh Allen on a wheel route down the left sideline for a TD

 

If he does that will you change your login to Gilliam2Allen?

I like the agent mention.  LOL.  I'd wait for the actual contract numbers.

 

Yeah, the key phrase is "up to" $5.2M

I assume that's 'lil Dirty sprinting across the backfield then blocking downfield, something else to like

Details are on the Sportrac already:

Looks like 2y/$4.6M deal with $1M signing bonus. There are probably some incentives built in.
