And that's all that's in the top 30. I didn't skate your point. It's just wrong.

wow! you found one. Good job. In the top 15 backs there are only 3 drafted after the 2nd round and none after the 4th. Good players get drafted high for the most part. Tune in for more breaking news at 11.

He's not in any offense. He can be a big playmaker for us, but he'll always be a committee back unless something drastically changes with his physique in the offseason.

They owe him $0. This is a half season rental. Singletary was never going to be re-signed under any circumstance, and Hines won't be here under this contract either.

Nothing alike at all. Hines does actually play out of the slot, but unlike Beasley, he gets significant YAC and is extremely athletic and versatile. Beasley at his best was a catch and go down guy.

I don't think this is part of the plan. He isn't physically built to be a #1 back.

He's not going to be MVP if that's what you're arguing, but he gives us a legitimate backup to both of the roles that Singletary and Cook play, upgrades our special teams, and should help take away targets from guys like McKenzie. All of those things add up. The injury protection alone is massive. RBs get dinged up and having to spend any significant time with Moss int he backfield was going to severely limit us.

Why? all of the top 5 backs in the league were taken in the top 2 rounds.

so, ~2x the touches that Gabe Davis gets isn't a big deal to you? He has the potential to be a massive difference maker. At the barest of minimums, he's an upgrade over Moss for nothing.

I really like this snag at the price of free. If we could trade a 6th round pick for Nyheim Hines every year I'd absolutely do that. Singletary is 100% gone in 4 months.

Hines is a rental - there's a $0 out on his contract after this year. Look for us to sign a FA or draft a replacement for Singletary. I wouldn't be shocked if they pursued Jacobs in the offseason.

I saw him standing around other people making plays or getting dragged down the field. Classic Edmunds.

They do every single day. People get sick, have heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, etc. I've known more than a couple.

The Pats gave us Bledsoe. It's really not that big of a deal. The Lions are going to need a QB, and they clearly need an entirely new defense. By the time they're ready to compete, Hockenenson will likely have more days behind him than ahead of him. If the Vikings gave the best offer, I understand.

He's in a contract year, and with the Raiders losing today they may start looking to next season. It's possible he becomes the highest paid RB in the league next year. With all of that in mind, the raiders may want to consider moving him, unless McDaniels is prepared to make a case that they can reload and compete for a Super Bowl after possibly finishing at the bottom of the league.They have an out with Carr after this year. They could choose to use that to bring in a guy like Jimmy G, Tom Brady, etc which would make keeping Jacobs more palatable, but if they go the rookie QB route, I'd expect not.

I literally picked the first search result that I knew had the quote form John Wawrow in it. Feel free to source any other site that makes you feel better of dozens that have the exact same information. Sorry to offend.

They can be both right if the bills did indeed make an offer that was not considered to be "serious" or "hard" as @Nihilarian's article suggested. The problem here is people are filling in blanks that don't exist. Sources are always going to be unnamed in stories like this, because otherwise people are getting fired/blackballed.

Is the quote they posted false?

and John Wawrow said they did. Listen, this is a non-story except for the small vocal minority here that insists on trying to prove a narrative that they never made an offer for reasons. It's pretty clear that they did, just as it's pretty clear it's now irrelevant. This staff views playmaking RB as a need going back to last offseason and they clearly still do in spite of drafting Cook. That's the story. Kinda like your sources that "heard" the bills didn't make "serious" or "hard" offers, whatever that means.

So they made an offer, but wasn't a "serious" or "hard" offer. But it was an offer, right?

Why?

Again, that doesn't disprove my point. It's well understood what CMC went for. If we could have afforded him long term, we robably would have done what was necessary, but the Bills were either looking for a half season rental or controlled contract.That quote does not mean we didn't make an offer, just that the offer wasn't up to the competition. We were clearly very interested or we wouldn't have made an offer at all. I think it's more about RBs that can help us get TDs. Both Hunt and Jacobs would be upgrades for tough yards. CMC would have done the same but in different ways

I don't believe that at all. What SF gave up was a lot - too much. However, just because we didn't match that doesn't mean it wasn't a serious offer. We were linked to CMC for a LONG time. I'm guessing they offered a 2 and 4.

3 TDs on the day so far 😲
