Kevin1778 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) I voted yes, simply because Ivory and Murphy are more than capable and it saves a ton of money. Edited October 27, 2018 by Kevin1778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I unfortunately voted yes. It pains me to send the most electric offensive player packing, but the state of this team that McBean put them in calls for accumulating as many assets as possible (**** the process). I’d hate to see this happen from a fans perspective but could certainly understand it from an administrative position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Yes. I loved what Shady has done here to the point where he was named a Captain. Who would have thought that would happen when he first got traded here and there was noise that he didn’t want to come. I wanted them to draft a young RB in the past few drafts to be our 2, but that hasn’t happened. Maybe, this year they’ll grab one in the 3rd or 4th.

wppete Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 If we get a 2nd then yes. If not then we keep shady on this team and have a strong running game next year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 He’s old for a running back. Injuries add up. He should be allowed to have his talents used and recognized on a playoff team. if he has trade value then use the draft picks for more talent on online or a WR. A shifty RB is not a particularly valuable weapon in the modern NFL. Power RB who can move the pile is more in vogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEraBills Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Only if they can get proper compensation that will help them, namely a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Otherwise just let him play out his deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believer Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Bills should have traded McCoy weeks ago... Get what we can in draft picks... and give the guy a shot with a contender... Same goes for Benjamin and Clay... Beane is a moron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has not been a huge drop off in production depending on who runs the rock. At the end of the day, the RB position is not having any impact on the wins/losses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 For what? I wouldn’t give him away, but getting real value for him makes sense. Also I’m sure McCoy would be ecstatic to start for a playoff team this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have more cap space than they will be able to spend over the next two years. The money ISN’T a factor in this decision. It’s about getting an asset that can help when this team is ready to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 If the return is aWR that can start for us this year and next year, maybe. If it’s just a pick that’s after round 2, I don’t want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Just thinking out loud here but are other teams in on this too? We ONLY discuss the possibility of the Eagles. What if teams like Washington, Baltimore or Carolina were interested? That feels reasonable to me. 2 minutes ago, Kevin1778 said: They need a lot of players on offense. Good lineman aren't cheap.

The Bills are going to be CRAZY aggressive this offseason and will still be $30M plus from the 2019 salary cap. The money isn’t an issue!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Is there really any chance that we could get a second round pick for McCoy? I would not think so given his age. I think the Bills will need to draft or sign a free agent running back next year whether or not McCoy is traded. This is another position on offense that will need attention in the offseason.

The Process Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I voted yes.....because.....hell why not? Get what you can.....

BuffaloFan68 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 IMO - If we can't get at least a second round draft pick or a couple like a 3 & 5, then we are better to keep the Captain. Let's Go Buffalo!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBeaneBandit Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I voted yes and my lowest price is a 4th that can become a 3rd on conditions. If it becomes a 3rd I believe we take one of the superior defensive linemen with our first pick and we can use the Shady pick to move back into the 1st round if an impact offensive player is still floating around like the TE Noah Fant ( huge upgrade folks!) or a WR or OL. We need impact players and can use that free agency money to get the #2 type WRs, Olinemen, and even another defensive to help finish off this defense. A few have mentioned Anthony Barr and i love that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 He probably only has a couple years left in this league, do him a favor and trade him back to the Eagles for whatever we can get.
