Um ... let's go all the way back to last year. LeGarrette Blount was 31 last year and 766 yards and averaged 4.4 ypc in a back-by-committee set-up. He also had 90 yards on 14 carries in the SB, and rushed for 18 TDs in his 30th year.  Marshawn Lynch (32 now) looked downright dominant at times last season, and has played well this season so far (on pace for over 1000 yards and 10 TDs).


McCoy has not lost a step. He has two good years left in him.

And he can restructure and play in a committee and extend his career 3 years longer than that behind a dominant OL.

 

Some may say "What's fair value?", in this case that's out the window, they called us, not the other way around. Shady is our best player on offense, if you want him, we want slightly more than market value.

I’ll be willing to bet Kareem Hunt doenst go over 10,000 yards rushing

 

alot Of backs start hot... it’s tough to play RB for 10+ years in the league 

 

we realistically aren’t getting a feature back round 3

I’ll be willing to bet a majority of Backs wont go over 10,000 rushing yards because teams are MOVING TO MODERN OFFENSES. 

 

What does a feature back do now??  Run for 70 catch another 30-50. 

 

So get that value and move to a Modern Offense

Someone in the know tell me about Phillys interior oline situation......... That is another area we should be focusing on........ 

Agree, but we should not be looking for a stop-gap plug and play workaround for this season.

 

All thoughts should be on building a foundation for the future.

 

I'd rather have picks to be honest.

Yep. Set your Price. If it is a 2nd and 3rd you dont come off it. Maybe even increase it a bit closer to deadline you get 

And yet he did. Philip Lindsay another. Karem Hunt another. 

 

You can find RBs all over the draft. 

 

If you get your Price you move him because of Age, Off Field Stuff and by the time you are really good he is not on the team anyway. 

That is true - David Johnson and Tevin Coleman were thirds. But I just went through 5 years of 3rd round picks, and the number of backs who were either marginal players or flameouts DWARFS the number of backs who produced.

  If you do set a price as far as offering to accept a 2nd and 3rd you put an expiration time on that and preferably by the close of business today.  Tomorrow is a new day and new terms.

For some reason people are under the impression that Shady is part of the future of this team. He's not. He's likely got 11 games left in a Bills uniform, and with injuries, even that may be a reach.

Indirectly, he is. He was either asked to take an active role in helping Allen adapt to the pros or he took it on himself - either way if you’ve paid attention he’s been focused on his development even in the game he missed while he was hurt. He was on the sideline with a tablet talking to him. He has been vocal about working with Allen and how much he believes in him. Whether you see that as valuable to Allen’s future (and thereby the team’s future) or not, the Bills may think it’s worth more than a 3rd rd pick especially coupled with what he can do to help Allen on the field.

The Kamara draft was likely a flukey year, but it really is pretty crazy to look at.

 

9 RB/WRs went in the 3rd round that year. 6 of them are above average starters this year and 5 of them are elite according to PFF.

I bet all of them play in offenses with tons of skill position players...much easier to shine when they are the 3rd option instead of the first.

 

Cooper Kupp has Woods, Gurley and Cooks in front of him for instance.

There are also about ten Dri Archers and Tre Masons for every Hunt and Kamara.

good post. And, last I checked, he has 27 games remaining, at least according to his contract.

Agree.  But just wondering if they may had a young up and comer or someone worth agreeing to an extension,  that type of thing

Again, we're not getting Nelson Agholor or Alshon Jeffrey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Please stop.

 

I don't think you need to get that upset (your choice but it seems worthless to me)....ideas about what Shady's value would be to YOU as the fan of the Buffalo Bills and those names come up for all the obvious reasons....it's not a projection, it's a "what would you like in return"....

Yeah, I get that but people need to understand the reason the Eagles want McCoy is because they're desperate to win now. They're not going to part with one of their starting wide receivers for a 30 year old back. We're in a pretty good spot leverage wise, but that's just plain silly. I'd love to see a draft pick and Mack Hollins.

if Buffalo trades McCoy they are trading their ONLY play maker on offensive, are definitely tanking the season. Might as well trade Hughes, Williams and Hyde too.

 

Why in the world would we trade Hyde?

Why would we trade Hyde when he still has 3 and half years left on his deal and is only 27?

You are suggesting that Shady is a component to Allen's development as a QB and therefore we lose something if Shady is traded?


That's pretty far fetched.  If we can get a 3rd or better for him, cut him loose.

 

He won't be around here much longer anyway, and I highly doubt Allen's success or lack thereof will be linked to Shady's presence or absence in any way.

Cooper Kupp has Woods, Gurley and Cooks in front of him for instance.

 

They all have either good weapons around them, or a good coach, but they obviously also play a heavy hand in that themselves. For example, Kenny Golladay is the highest rated WR on the Lions this year. Chris Godwin was rated higher than DeSean Jackson last year. Kamara IS the weapon; I think he was the highest rated RB in the league last year and he's a huge reason the Saints offense is what it is this year. Hunt's running ability played a large role in allowing Alex Smith to throw it deep for the first time in his career.

 

And Buffalo has to start somewhere as far as weapons go. To me, the chance at adding even more cap space and also having a swing at another highly rated draft prospect is more than enough to trade McCoy.

 

My main argument in favor of trading McCoy for a 3rd or 4th round pick would be this:

You can replace McCoy for roughly half the money we are currently paying him. You can also hope you draft well and just draft his replacement for pennies compared to McCoy. Or you can both sign a player of roughly McCoy's current/long-term playing level and also draft a RB that may also be that same level. It's not terribly difficult to find above average RBs anymore, which is optimistically what you're hoping McCoy will be moving forwards.

But Kamara greatly is helped by playing with a first ballot HOF QB, Mihael Thomas and a bunch of WR's that get open in that scheme...its kind of like "pick your poison" you can' stop everything.

Ok so you take a 30 and 31 year old Shady. Or the picks?

Depends on the picks! 


I want a second given how I think he's likely to produce as a Bill through 2019. He's still an elite player, and if the Bills are going to make a big step forward next season, they need players like him. I want playoffs next season.

The guy is past his prime, but he still has the ability to make game changing plays. There are not many of those guys just sitting around. He's also a reliable receiver and pass blocker, attributes Pederson highly values. 

 

Like I said, they're desperate to win NOW. We'd like to have more draft capital, but it's not a desperate need. Immediacy creates leverage.

Disagree. Too many other options.
