Bills hosted RB Latavious Murray

I'm good with that.   Better power backs than the Bills have had in several years.   Better speed backs, too.  

 

McDermott apparently realized that he can't get the job done with a tweener like Motor.

Things I learned about Murray:

 

- he played football in Syracuse

- he is the only rb who rushed for 500 yards the last 8 years

- he is the Josh McCown of rbs the way he stays in the league when more talented guys burn out after like 4 years. Impressive for him.

 

I don’t get signing old rbs. But he would be good insurance I guess.

He's a fool if he signs here.  He'll be inactive most weeks and what's left of his career will be over.  Ask TJ Yeldon and Duke Johnson.  Breida is lucky he has a rapport with Daboll.

Not necessarily. He’s 33 playing a position where guy’s generally age out 3-5 years earlier due to physicality. He may be perfectly happy preserving his body a bit, making a million, taking a mentor role and getting a shot at a ring. 🤷‍♂️ Heck, he might even be interested in coaching after he retires. If that’s the case being around in a lesser role could be a benefit. Who knows.

If that’s all he can get at this point in his career, that’s what he might have to take and be okay with it.

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.

Or, the smokescreen is we don't have Edmund's replacement on the roster and he really does want Robinson. Hopefully not, but never say never with Beane.

For a 33 year old rb, it would make a lot of sense. Collects a check while saving his body.  Part of the reason he has lasted so long is he has never been the guy so he has saved a lot of wear and tear on his body. Todd Gurley was setting records and was out of the league by 26. 
 

running back is a wild position.

You may be right, but he's got more tread left than the typical 33 year old, being a backup type guy most of his career.  

 

I saw Murray a few times last year with the Broncos.  He looked fresh.

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