Total receiving yards tell similar stories. That we had bad pass catchers means he stood out among peers in buffalo but not in the wider world of running backs. 2018: 28th among backs 2017: 9th 2016: 14th 2015: 24th we paid him as a top 5 back. He played as a good back but more middle of the pack. That’s why he’s no longer playing on that contract. He wasn’t a flop but he wasn’t elite

Those signs are awful

A 4 year 34m contract and traded kiko for him... half his seasons under 1000 yards and half 4.0 or fewer ypc... i like shady and think we came out better paying him than kiko but I waffle on his time here

Meh. You probably won’t like the 2021 bills in that case as tre, josh and tremaine likely will be on even bigger deals. If if they are game changing stars, it’ll be great. If it’s dak, maybe less so.

They are essentially tagging him a year early to preserve being able to use the tag in 2022. call me crazy, but I’d rather just tag him for real next year if you really want him.

Its a star driven league- we will see if Allen is a star.

As a road division game it’s big in a ton of tie breakers and tone setting. its not the end of the world to lose but sweeping the jets and fins would be huge in playoff implications

This will be a bad contract that haunts

I think it was just a fake reverse and he simply spun out of getting killed

I wasn’t nervous before but when you say it like that...

I’m not advocating for him but it seems some of these guys think McCoy was our worst back, since he was released and all

Almost 2 years might be a bit much for a 10 month guy

I don’t think we ever had 5 plus a fb

To be fair, the next 2 seasons are supposed to be our prime window. If Allen is the dude, it COULD sneak up fast.

Yup. I think you can argue tre is there but Edmonds, Allen, Oliver, would be the keys. With Oliver, Hughes befitting with a top season is another. The potential is there though

Unfortunately we had the back end depth but are missing a few of the elite guys they have. Hopefully a few dudes step up and show they are those players though.

Do you think he even read it before posting or his agent just said can I toss something up and he said yes? Well we wouldn’t own his rights next year, unless you think a tag and trade for a 32 year old was the plan

Comparing it to Fred?!?

I will say, a less extensive but even remotely written by him would’ve tugged the heart strings more... but still give him credit for green lighting this to be written for him

A curiosity- If he can only sign the tender and nothing else, how’d they split his salary and commit to a no tag? Can the tender have various tweaks to terms?

Well, hindsight and us acknowledging we don’t know jack about most of these people’s personal lives- as much as we like to pretend

Another consideration is scout team work, which I guess he has excelled at: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/02/04/patriots-defense-credits-brian-hoyer-for-scout-team-preparation/

Houston’s running back just went down and they re paying people in Monopoly money. SD doesn’t have their back and were also interested but not trading. that it was quick doesn’t mean anyone was giving value. Weve likely been trying to pull to pull the trigger for a month

I’d say at most about 20. I dont think they try to have him over 300 on the season

Do you not think we were dialing everyone we could this week?
