Should we go after Josh Jacobs?

[78thealltimegreat]

I’m fine with the backs now but I want Hunter Renfrow of all the players on that offense to bad he’s got another year on that offense

I think James Cook looks like he might turn out to be an extremely good player.

Singletary too.

Bills will resign Singletary if he is asking for a reasonable amount.

[wppete]

Yes

I would rather spend the cap dollars on the Oline or retaining defensive talent. Jacobs is a beast but I think James Cook is a ready to roll player and the team can bring back Hines as a return and third down back. You then could bring in a pure back up to platoon with Cook (hopefully Motor if his number is reasonable) on the cheap.

It is hard to get quality OL in free agency. McDermott needs to draft OL early and often. Do notice that I said McDermott, not Beane.

Singletary should be gone.  Don't give RBs big money.  That's why Cook was drafted.  Do it all over again in a couple years.

 

   Remember Singletary was mentored by Gore who made a nice career on nfl and I don't even recall if he ever had one of the bigger rb contracts at any point in his career.  It will come down to if Singletary wants to cash in as much as he can or is he looking to play until his game falls off. Why I think he bulked up partially to be better as a blocker for Josh as well be more fit taking the hits as rb.

No.   RBs are a dime a dozen.   Sign the specific guys on the current roster whom you cannot replace as easily.

not picking up his 5th year was sure an interesting strategy

Zero percent chance in my opinion they go after Jacobs.  Can’t afford to pay a RB what he will get, especially with major decisions at Safety and Edmunds contracts to go along with with rebuilding OL and adding another receiver too.  
 

You don’t pay a QB a quarter of a billion and then also pay to dollar for a RB, it’s a bad use of capital.  
 

Jacobs is a great player, but we can’t pursue him.

Nah he’s got a lot of dropped passes at crucial times as well as fumbles

He was inconsistent and was getting injured a lot. I understood why they didn’t pick up his 5 year but I’m sure they’re regretting it 110 percent

Allen has already said he’ll restructure his contract, poyer is older and is injury prone now and I think most on here would agree that Edmunds isn’t worth paying big bucks to keep him around

I would contend that Edmunds is the most important player to extend of those due for a new deal.  Ed Oliver would be 2nd on that list.

Cook is the change of pace speed back.  Motor is the main mover. ( Think Thurman Thomas and Ken Davis)

[TN Bills Fan]

No way.  Get a WR.  We have Diggs and a bunch of mediocracy.  Unless Von has killed the cap.

McDermott is NOT in charge of draft and that is not changing.  He will get input it and he and Beane talk frequently.

At the start of season he was. They declined 5th year option, drafted Zameer White in 4th round, and signed Abdullah - all while they had Kenyan Drake too (who was paid a bunch the year before). live in Vegas and all they talked about was rotation/committee but ended up riding him after that 2nd game. No doubt if a 3rd was offered, they’d have accepted. I’d trade Bernal or Moss for him. 

Moss wasn't worth anything, don't know who Bernal is.  Would the Raiders really have wanted Moss?

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

The track record of RBs who touch the ball as many times as he has this season is really bad.  He will very likely get injured next season.  There's earnestly nothing wrong with our current RB room.  The offense just flows through our all world QB.

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison.  Kenneth Davis was nothing like James Cook.  Change of pace in that they’re/were both the backup RB?  Okay.  Jimbo Cook can be a RB1, and has elite game changing skills/attributes.

[ILBillsfan]

I'll take Pollard in a heartbeat he shouldn't break the bank and fits right in with what the Bills do offensively

In today's NFL he is a very very good back.  But we can't afford to pay big money to a RB.  Need to try and resign Poyer and Edmunds.  Cook should be excellent next year.  And hopefully we can resign Singletary w a modest contract and maybe keep Hines.  And nothing wrong with drafting a bigger back who has some upside.

Yes! 😈
