Im not proposing anything here...just sharing info.  

 

Interesting day over here...A buddy called me earlier today who has also been a source of some info in the past (for example he was the one who leaked the Rams vs Bills season opener last year to me a month early) and he just he heard some chatter potentially linking Bills and Henry today.  

 

I just got home right now from being out and about for a little bit running errands and I got a text from a bookmaker buddy of mine about how Derrick Henry is now the betting favorites in Vegas to land Henry at 2/1 odds.  My immediate comment to him was to ask him if that is just because Beane freed up some cap space.  He said it's possible, but more likely Vegas at least heard or caught wind of something suggesting at least interest rather than just make that move over a small cap move.  

 

So take it with a grain of salt...but just found it interesting that in the same day Beane freed up cap space Vegas made the Bills the betting favorites to land him.  Did a quick google search to pull up the odds and found this link right away.

thanks for sharing!

It's actually not a bad idea. You probably aren't seeing anymore 2 high coverages with Henry on the field. I don't hate it.

This. Defenses are not scared of James Cook. Henry though…..nightmare!

 

For the life of me I don’t understand why fans aren’t excited by imagining Josh and Henry in the same backfield.

 

whether Dorsey could come up with run pass options to really take advantage of defenses is another story

Is that you Dorsey?

play to the skills you have. If Henry is in your stable, change!!! 

You mean like playing to the skills of their elite QB? This sounds like the Doug Whaley team building strategy- Get whatever good players you can find and hope the coaches can figure out a way to make it work.

Thanks Alpha!

 

This has McD fingerprints all over it-he wants to sustain a balanced/ball control offense.  No better way than a top tier RB who almost automatically gives 3 yards per touch, at minimum.

 

I wouldn't love the move, because I place WR2 at a higher need/impact.  But Cook has never been a workhorse type back, still think he's better used with 5-10 carries and 5+ catches per game.

 

In theory, it opens up the passing game/far less 2 high safeties.  Perhaps that gets Gabe useful again, and/or more intermediate targets for Kincaid and others.

 

I'd also not be surprised if we reached out to Tenn on other guys.  They are definitely "sellers" right now, they'd have a few pieces that'd immediately help us.

Terrible idea...I'd rather dump Davis and get DeVonte Adams or a very good DT.

[Low Positive]

For those saying no, how would you feel if the Chiefs got him? Bengals? Dolphins?

[JDubya76]

WhT is Henry worth? Pick swap? I honestly haven’t watched a minute of Titans football this year, hate that team. 

[Aussie Joe]

His contract would leave a pro rata $5m + cap hit through end  2023 for the Bills to take on if I’m reading Spotrac correctly…

 

And that’s not including the pick given up,,,,?

 

I would rather a WR …

Henry to Bills makes zero sense when they have other, more pressing needs

Cook cannot pass protect

Bc everyone in the world knows the bills need help.

Absolutely hate the idea 

It would be hilarious. Try to be the 2019 titans with an older Henry and worse OL.

 

Would demonstrate a complete fundamental misunderstanding with the problems with this offensive roster, which means it makes total sense lol

Every time the ball is in Derrick Henry's hands instead of Mahomes or Allens is a win for the defense

I could see McD thinking the Bills could ground and pound their way out of this mess..

We will see how people feel because the Bengals have a need (Mixon has been bad) and the cap space to make this happen.

What was Cooks good week for blocking?

 

Dont you want to protect Josh?

[Warcodered]

They are ***** determined to link the Bills to a RB move. I swear someone breathes a big RB name and some sports media person hot take pops up like a groundhog looking around like "Bills?"

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Please God no. 

Dorsey can't even get Cook on the field at the right time now

Wrong. If your offense has both an elite QB and elite RB, it’s a win for the offense every play

 

it also allows you to really attack teams based on whether their pass D or run D is weak
