Between this and OBJ he’s done more to help Josh Allen than the front office. 

True.  Maybe he can start talking to some oline guys while he's at it!!

Who they got lucky on. If Oliver is moved in a trade, frees up 10 mil right there   

And who replaces Oliver?

Maybe DT Draymont Jones Broncos FA.

yeah anyone who doesn't see how adding Henry would make the Bills better should probably stop pretending to know anything about football

 

he wouldnt have to carry the load here but it sure would be nice to have a guy that could grind it out in the 4th quarter and that had to be accounted for

you can certainly decrease his load from what Tennessee asked of him, given that he’s getting older and you have Josh Allen. Of course that then makes it harder to justify his $$$.

It would force teams to pick their poison. Right now teams plays 2 high safety / drop everyone into coverage against us virtually all game. 
 

With Henry, teams would do that far less.

This is the second time that I’ve heard this I did that didn’t come from a fan
 

Interesting

Henry is bigger than Von. Sign him up to rush the QB.

$10m for 1 year isn’t exorbitant.  I’d love to get a power back with the ability to take it to the house.  

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

10.5M for a 1year rental - can add a year, lower the cap hit.  

 

He's 29, no ones giving him a long-term deal at this point.  

[947]

He has a $16M cap hit this year, and he'd probably cost at least a 3rd round pick, it's highly doubtful. Plus he's been overused for years dating back to high school. I doubt he'll play another full season in his career.

 

Take a look at Henry's Senior season in HS absurd stats:

 

in 13 games:

462 carries

4,251 yards

55 TDs

 

He averaged more than 35 carries, 327 yards, & 4 TDs... PER GAME.

Plus thats just his base salary, which could be adjusted - if it were me id add a year, move some bonus money around and get the cap hit lower for this year so you can address the offensive line more effectively.

10.5.  Tennessee eats signing and restructure bonuses.  They already paid him the signing and restructure bonuses, so it jumps up into this year of the cap giving them a ~10M dead money hit.

Henry isn’t a quick back and looks painfully slow if there’s no hole. He doesn’t “create from nothing,” so to speak, so if he were running behind the current Bills OL we’d all be complaining how he looks shot. If the OL can open some holes, then yes, he’s a runaway freight train, but we’ve had issues with run blocking for awhile now.

If he's traded or cut, re-do his deal  2 years with a void year

You do know he ran behind Saffold, Quessenberry and a broken Lewan right?

well that’s disconcerting.

[thenorthremembers]

One of my favorite players in the NFL but he would have $11 million dollars left on his contract after a trade.   I suppose if its a mid-late round pick I'd be ok with it but you have to watch what you give up for what ends up being a 29 year old back on a 1yr/11million dollar deal.

[PBF81]

Once again, what, we need the top skill position players in the game to "allow McD to succeed?"  

 

How about drafting our own RB, ... oh wait, we did that, got Singletary, Moss, and Cook, ... my bad.  

 

Seriously tho, do we really need to buy the top players to make our team work?  

 

Just put together a solid draft for once Beane, and save your job and make us happy too!

Sure, who wants a 1500 yard 13 TD Power + Speed back to make our offense much harder to defend.

You get Henry, draft a few OL early and toss in a dynamic WR and now your offense can win it all 

The playaction game would be something deadly!! 

[Bill from NYC]

I am probably one of his biggest fans as a player and even as a person. That said, we need BLOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blocking and better receivers.

 

If we could get the above then great, sign Henry. If not, he will just get destroyed just like any other RB with bad blocking.

I do, but all 3 players were markedly better there than they were here. I don’t have the PFF numbers but I’m willing to bet they support that observation. Whether that’s due to the run scheme, or something else, Henry wouldn’t have the same success behind this Buffalo OL in this system.
