    If we’re playing Madden with the salary cap off, then yes let’s sign both of them

    I didn't say to sign both of them. That was hard to read I guess

    Not seeing Beane spend what is altogether to much money on an as stated above often injured RB, when the O line and D line are in need of attention as it were. 
     

    The old true-ism that “ The game is won and lost in the trenches” persists,  because it’s true...

    Really? How many TDs a year do offensive lineman score?

    Chris Carson is always injured and will cost a ton.  I doubt Beane is going to invest in that.  Henry i can get behind but I’ll pass on Carson. 

    I don't think he is going to coat that much because of his injury history. Again, I think $7 million a season is reasonable. Considering someone like Aaron Jones is slated to get like $12 million a year or higher

  3. Don't get me wrong, Aaron Jones is the man and I would love him in a Bills uniform but I think he is gonna be commanding too high of a salary.

     

    Chris Carson is said to average about $7-8 million a year on the market which honestly isn't to bad. Before last season in which he was hurt he had an 1100 yard and 1200 yard season and has been reliable as a pass catcher out of the backfield. Maybe something like a 4yr $30 million contract is reasonable. That would come out to about $7 million a season.

     

    I read somewhere that Chris Carson is the best back in the league when it comes to broken tackles and he is a bruising type of back. 

     

    As far as Henry, he's young, talented and would easily improve our TE corps. A nice weapon for Josh. Beane sounded like he wanted to improve the TE position at his end of year press conference so I'm interested to see what happens.

     

    I'm not saying to sign both but one or the other. Both would be helpful

  4. I think it would take pick 30 to get Saquon at the very least plus another pick. Looking at spotrac, this is the last year of his rookie deal and it looks like his 5th year option is gonna be $7 million. This year in 2021 he has a $10 million cap hit which could be lowered by making more of his salary into a signing bonus. $7 million on his 5th year, is actually not bad. The Salary cap should be significantly higher the next few years although Allen will be taking up a lot of it. It's not too crazy to think about. I think I would wait to see what happens on draft day and how the board falls. If it falls a little out of favor, then I would call the Giants and see if Beane can work something out for pick 30. If not, then just trade down or take whoever we need to but I wouldn't give up pick 30 before draft day

  5. Earliest memory for me was a very brief moment of Super Bowl 25. I was 4 years old going on 5. I don't remember much of the game itself except being at my Grandfather's house watching my parents and people at the Super Bowl party we had all holding hands and saying "Norwood...Norwood" when he was about to kick the field goal. 

     

    The first actual game I remember actually watching and being focused on in its entirety, was the 49ers "no punt" game in '92. I was 6 years old and that was really when my Bills fandom started

    If they make the wrong decision and take a running back early I hope they at least don't put the process on "Bills embedded" like when Beane hungrily jumped up for Cody Ford.    Passing on DK and AJ (oh and Elgton Jenkins @Logic) was bad enough.    This isn't 1988.......taking a RB early is a BAD play.    

    I might agree with this in most instances but this team is super bowl caliber. An elusive speed back is one of our needs and starting next season, Allen is gonna be taking up a ton of our cap space. Singletary and Moss were both 3rd round picks and while I'm not necessarily done with either one and am holding out hope that at least one of them can be our lead guy, neither one really showed anything special last year. If we can get Etienne at 30, I would gladly take it. A dynamic rookie RB on a rookie contract once Allen starts taking up a ton of cap space, I'll gladly do it

    I agree.  I’m sure it was just part of negotiations but I don’t see how the reduction of 5 mins made a difference for player safety.  Since they reduced it to 10 mins, in the games I saw, even if the first team doesn’t score, but they moved the ball some, they usually used up 6 or 7 mins.  Then the other team had 3 to 4 mins left and you get into risk vs reward.  A conservative coach may just play for the tie rather than take a risk that backfires and loses the game.

     

    I’ve always felt that both teams should get one possession, regardless of what happens on the 1st possession.

    Agree with all of this. I've usually seen the same thing, the first time eats 7 minutes on the first drive only to get nothing out of the drive and then the other team has 2 to 3 minutes to try to get into field goal range or score a TD. The weird paer is, the 10:00 minute OT is only for regular season, it goes back to 15:00 in the playoffs

    This is largely tongue in cheek with shades of seriousness, but I was watching Shady this morning on GMFB being interviewed and it seems like he really embraced the "veteran mentor" role with Tampa Bay, where his contract has expired.

     

    Based off what Beane and McDermott have said publicly they still appear to have a lot of faith in both Singletary and Moss.  And they also like the guys behind them.  Yeldon's contract is up and so the team will probably add at least another RB.  Shady claims he still has something left in the tank and plans to play and, at the very least, will be fresh from having almost an entire year off in Tampa.  Last year with the Chiefs he was pretty productive with over 100 carries and 4.6 YPC along with 28 receptions.

     

    That's a helluva lot more than we got out of Yeldon this year.

     

    McCoy has 2 straight years winning a Super Bowl ring and he said on GMFB that he wants to play another year, but it needs to be with a contender because he can't go from playing on 2 Super Bowl Teams to crap (my word, not his).  He already has a relationship with Josh and other players on the Bills.  There's obviously familiarity.  I actually think the "hometown discount" thing applies here to an aging veteran who would already be pretty cheap.

     

    And if he can be used as a 3rd down back out of the backfield for blitz pickups and receptions (that he' might actually catch in AFC Championship games unlike Singletary... BAAAZIIIINNNNGGG!!  :w00t:) then it's just an added bonus.

     

    Now, I really don't think this will happen.  I don't even know what the relationship is like between him and Beane and McDermott and I kinda doubt OBD will want to bring him back.  But given our apparent commitment to Moss and Singletary (much to our dismay, perhaps), maybe Shady shouldn't be out of the question and we should consider letting him come home to chase a 3rd straight ring....

    He is the right RB age for us

    riddle me this.. IF he is so good how come a team does not have him locked?

     

    Is it 

     

    A. Cause he is asking for to much?

    B. He just aint that good no more?

    C. Injury History?

     

    I say All of the above. The thing is he is not in a hurry, he has time.

     

    His age and him Injured to much is not going to get him far fast. He wants the money, Live cheap and retire on his last contract. Just like every other star vet his age. I cant blame him for any of this but is he going to give this team 1000%?

     

    A question worth discussion

     

    Maybe it's more of a Watt thing? He wants to take his time? Multiple reports have said that a dozen teams are interested
