Saquon Barkley is Still a Media Favorite to the Bills

[Buffalosouth]

Sure give him the 1 year vet minimum with a chance at a ring, see if he bites.

There is.. Bills just need to make tough decisions.

 

Don't re-sign Edmunds.  There's your Barkley money.

 

Trade Oliver, frees up almost 11M.

 

Cut Hines.  Trade Tre White.  Re-work contracts of a few guys outside Allen (Allen needs to be done regardless to free up money just to get under the cap).

 

We can make big Offensive moves if we want... It just comes down to the FO's willingness to empty the cupboard Defensively.  Which is unlikely, IMO.

Actually, Cookie came 1st.  Cookie was signed before the start of the 1962 season & Kemp was picked up on waivers during the 1962 season.

How many sides of your mouth can you talk out of? Now you'd have Barkley but not Robinson. You believe in Parcells but when he says Allen is playing "solitare" that "personnel" he suggests isn't the runners? Why? The entire Parcells tree is predicated on the power running game. Remember  

 

Sometimes I don’t know why I even reply to your ignorant
 

Barclay is going to cost of mint

 

Robinson will be a draft pick on a controlled contract

 

It’s all about the money, sir

Let's get real.  The Bills are not drafting a RB in the 1st round and they're not signing Barkley.  So, any debate on whether one guy is better than the other is pretty much a moot point as far as the Bills 2023 roster is concerned.  

[BigDingus]

Unless there's a plan in place to SIGNIFICANTLY bolster this O-line, I don't care who they sign... we'll never see their full potential.

 

Also, we've seen enough of this team to know they heavily favor passing & have difficultly commuting to the run, even when successful, so whoever they have back there is only going to have moderate success given their opportunities. 

[JimBob2232]

I love Barkley - and I'd be over the moon excited if he comes here.  But I can't believe it's even remotely the best use of our limited cap space.

Best RB we’ve had since Shady. He would take a ton of pressure off Josh. If Josh has a bad game we can just pound the ball.

Saquan is much better than Shady.  Saquon is like a bigger, faster Thurman

you do all those things and the team is going to suck while we have a good running back

 

There is a chance that Edmonds just price of himself out of our range

 

As long as there’s a plan to replace ed oliver $11 million a lot of money

 

What exactly do you think you’re gonna get for a veteran corner coming off an ACL injury tre white is worth more to us than he would be in a trade

 

we need help on the offenseyet side of the ball if we start trading and letting players walk on the defensive side of the bar, expect a heavy, defensive draft

put a tough gritty offensive line on the field and you’ll make an average running back look great

Not necessarily saying do this and sign Barkley .. more so, we can sacrifice some of the defense to add on offense.  
 

Agreed, I’d rather move/let-walk some defense pieces and use the money on OL and WR.

So we are rolling with Cook and Hines.  What happens if Cook gets hurt?  We roll with Hines and a JAG? Aren’t we trying to win the Superbowl?

Just because we're not drafting a 1st round RB and not signing Barkley doesn't mean the Bills won't sign a cheaper free agent or draft a bigger back in the middle rounds of the draft.  Drafting a 1st round RB or signing Barkley is a pipe dream that simply will not happen.  The Bills need O-line & D back help & one of those positions is where they will draft.

IMO the offense is the priority.  We have a generational QB.  Lets not let him get clobbered and wasted like Archie Manning.

RB1, WR2,  LG - priorities on offense.  OL depth after those needs met

S, Edge, DT, LB

 

IMO nothing would help Josh better than a stud RB(can score from anywhere on field, bell cow, can pass protect, and can run a wheel route).  Imagine if Josh could just hand the ball off and no defense can stop the run.  That makes Josh and the offense so much better.  Sign Saquon and Powers- it can be done.  Starting RB and starting G- and two huge position upgrades.  Get that done, sign some bargain FA for depth.  Now going into the draft our needs our WR2, S, DL, and LB- which is much more manageable

We're not signing Barkley.  The Giants are either tagging him or signing him to a long term contract.  He will never make it to free agency & even if he did, which won't happen, the Bills can't afford him.

Tre's dead cap is $23M.  Makes no sense to try and trade him.  Who is going to want to pay his salary anyway if he's not the same player?
