They bring 90 to camp.   Signing him would be signing a productive, physical, veteran player.   They could still draft a guy in the mid-later rounds.   Beane and McDermott are all about competition.

 

That's true. And Murray could always fill that Duke Johnson Practice Squad vet RB role and I think he'd be a good fit there.

Like many others, I've always liked LM and as recently as last year he showed that he could still play. I like the direction the Bills have taken so far for the offense this off-season.

Perhaps he’s a sneaky good RT?

You shop at the flea market when you have a flea market budget

You draft poorly you have to find roll players in the bargain basement because of the tight budget. That’s what this team is all about.

Why should the Bills be on the hook to fund this?

I mean if they sign him, that’s probably what they are agreeing too. Murray doesn’t really make sense on this team besides as an insurance policy.

Murray attended Onondaga High School and was Gatorade Football Player of the Year in NY in 2007.  He spoke at an event I attended a few years ago.  He seems like great guy and a hard runner.

exactly, which is why I asked why they would ever agree to this.  Makes no sense.

I feel like this is just part of some Beane smokescreen to make it seem like we're still interested in adding a rb and might draft Bijan Robinson.

 

He keeps saying that Edmunds' replacement is on the roster and we haven't signed anyone new at LB, so that screams that we'll take a linebacker in the 1st or 2nd.

Please share a link confirming Beane actually said " Edmunds replacement is on the roster ". I DID read that Dodson,Bernard and Spector, maybe even Matakevich,  would COMPETE for the job. But that doesnt mean Beane won't sign or draft a LB. Ridiculous to think he would limit his draft options by believing that. Perhaps a smoke screen to fool the gullible?

Hopefully he means on our roster after the addition we make on April 27th or 28th because there's not a name on our roster that inspires confidence at MLB right now.

What is it with this new RB obsession?

Why can't McBeane get so unhealthilly interested in OLinemen?

 

Perhaps so they don't need to waste a draft pick on one?  Vet minimum contract for him would likely qualify at a lower cap hit under the NFL's salary cap agreement as a vested vet. 

 

Didn't Beane sign like 5 or 6 OL UFA's last year? Did you simply forget about that or were you missing last offseason?

[Mister Defense]

I didn't realize how well he played last year, as a 32 year old running back--in 12 games rushing for 703 yards!, with 6 touchdowns, 4.4 yards per carry, and 26 receptions too.  Those are very good stats for any back, let alone one in his early 30s.

 

And throw in the fact that he was behind center with one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL, Russel Wilson, and it is more impressive.

 

This is the kind of inexpensive veteran I want on this team.

Murray was solid last year. Enough that he was one of my back-up fantasy RBs… like Mister Defense said… on the Broncos!

 

I think Murray is going to be a great new starting ILB for us.

I cannot speak for Mrs. Draconator's appearance.  Draconator's look, however, has been plastered on these hallowed pages many times.  Guitar twanging and swimming with the dolphins, for two such examples.

Ah but you see I posted a picture of Mrs Bighead, hence my question.

Imagine 4 NFL quality rb's on this team, only to not run the ball this year. Sign me up!

If Murray wants to come here for veteran minimum than come join the party i guess. But he's not going to give us much of anything we dont already have. For a team that doesnt even run much, getting Murray wont move that needle at all. Would it hurt? No not really. Could it help? Sure. Remains to be seen if we can run the ball at all... or if we'll even try.

PS: i dont mean this to sound negative, just one of those days lol

If Dorsey can actually be creative:

2 Back Sets:   Cook & Hines -  Speed. Screens. Motion. Slot. 
                        Harris & Murray - Power. Short Yardage. Pass Block. Goal line. 

Then mix & match so the defense is kept off balance
