It's called Singletary and Moss were never getting extended. 

 

Hines is not a replacement for either of them. He's a replacement for the guy we just drafted.

 

Edit: I should clarify that if the Bills think Hines gives them a better shot at a Super Bowl than Cook, I'm fine with the trade. It's just clearly not a move for a future RB1.

Im sure Zmo is celebrating, guy clearly was not happy being on the bench. Not the bills fault he was average tho.

Don’t love the move, bc he’s on my fantasy team, he’s not going to get enough touches here, love it for the Bills.

Totally wrong.

Bills added more speed to their roster at RB and enhanced special teams for minimal draft capital. Yes it sucks the pick on Moss didn’t work out but it happens to every team. Wish him nothing but the best in Indy unless he’s playing the Bills.
 

IMO, this offseason could see a lot of movement at RB across the league. Unless the Bills land a big fish, solid chance DS is back. I don’t see a huge market for him and would think they’ll resign him to a team friendly deal.

Incorrect.  This trade is the perfect example of how you build an offense according to its identity.  
 

Cook and Hines for the next three years.  Both are strong in areas we need our backs to be plus fast and quick.

The real upside I hope to see from this trade is to have Allen and Dorsey raise Hines's game as a weapon to a higher level. They can have that effect on people.
I see the trade as a positive in the short term mostly because Moss could not be counted on to contribute much and Crowder is out. Hines, a veteran, also takes some of the pressure of rooks Shakir and Cook.

As a fellow 28 yr marriage-er, I understand this way too well!

Well Pat Mcafee says I'll love him. I hope so. I think they are not impressed with J Cook. I'll trust Beane on this.

They have tons of time to evaluate what Cook can and can't do. Hines' play in 20 & 21 as a non starter RB is impressive. We were never keeping Moss and extending Motor.

Dude, I'm getting that at 9 years of marriage.

 

Does the fact that I was married at 46 count?

[Momma Pecoraro]

Never heard of him.

Another 28 year veteran here. And…..yep

This trade thread has taken a turn...unless...?

Moss would have been cut during the preseason had they signed Mckissic like they intended. As it is they get a comparable player to McKissic at the deadline for a 6th rounder. Pretty cool

Don't get me wrong, I like both of their skill sets. But neither of them are going to grind out yards between the tackles-- something which Singletary has become very good at.

And Singletary will never be a receiving matchup problem for defenses, something Hines is very good at. So it’s a complimentary relationship.

“Before I go back there, I say, ‘I don’t care about my life.’ Every time,” Hines told the media in 2021 when asked if it took a certain type of crazy to be a return man.

Just what the Bills needed, another 5'9 running back.
