It looked worse than it was. Murph and Donald mentioned today he is still not on his feet FWIW. Find me the next Kamara.

I have no problem with the Bills meeting with Ivory seeing what his interest is, potential roles, contract #'s etc... For me he is a guy I can wait to sign until after the draft and I have a better idea what remaining holes need to be filled. If not I am sure there will be post June 1st cuts with other RBs available. We picked up both Jones and Cadet late who both did a decent job. I agree with that. I just made a comment that I think there are better odds (or teams can leverage their odds better) in the draft than a coin flip. However, since you brought up the thought of signing Ivory. Depends how the contract is structured. If it doesn't effect the cap and it really barely does on a one year deal. Lots of depth players get signed and then cut before the end of camp. Essentially signing a vet like Ivory to a one year deal if cut before camp would leave us taking a cap hit for the signing bonus and paying out the signing bonus. Let's call the signing bonus $300K. We take a cap hit for $300K, the owner pays out $300K and we have secured Ivory as our depth. If we have better depth when camp breaks we cut him. A two year deal can be very similar depending on the structure, but, really just the signing bonus is the cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Totally on board for bringing in Ivory, retaining Cadet (injury-permitting), and drafting a guy in rounds 4 or 5, like J. Adams (ND) or I. Smith (Miss St). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Grundy Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Don't forget the Bills still have Taiwan Jones on the roster. He's a talented back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other purpose Tolbert serves does not make up for his inabilities on the field. He is just not good enough anymore to make a positive impact over the course of the full year. So, he serves no purpose when you only have 53 roster spots. If we want Tolbert to be a part of the team hire him as a coach. How does getting rid of a pro-bowler make us better?

atlbillsfan1975 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Any run that Tolbert got 4+ yards on, Ivory or most rookies would probably of broke for a big gain. I’d like to move On from Tolbert. I always felt like that move was a strategic move to have a Vet that was a McDermott guy on the team from day 1. Does Tolbert play special teams?

Domdab99 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 You know, all these potential moves the Bills are doing doesn’t only mean they might be planning to trade up and grab their guy...it could also mean they’re going to try and go all out for Cousins.

I just look at them as upgrading positions (or at the very least not downgrading) for now. V. Davis is a beast.....I also thought EJ Gaines is a beast as well......

njbuff Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Many solid RB's in this draft for the Bills not to land two of them (draft pick and an UDFA, maybe). Really no need to sign Ivory. They already have a 30 year old RB on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
