Maybe pickup a DE in the 1st and a CB in the 2nd as well. Edited November 7, 2018 by vincec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVilanch Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Dude is only 25, he was stuck in a weird committee situation in detroit, he could turn into a serviceable RB. at this point why not see what he can bring? He's young enough to have several productive years ahead of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a lot smaller and slower than Johnson. Still, I figure he'd be an upgrade over fan favourite Marcus Murphy. And he should come cheap. Johnson was a guy from a small school and many were very unsure of him that draft year. Abdullah was all Big Ten and pretty much considered the third best prospect in that running back class. The draft is funny that way. We picked John Miller that year about four picks before Johnson went. And Miller also went a full round before Shaq Mason. Pretty cool ?. Cam Meredith, Tyrell Williams, Adam Humphries and David Andrews all went undrafted in 2015. Just to add Abdullah is a big time character guy who would be a nice fit here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, his name sounds close to Allah dude. Mcdermy might not be a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible any RB available ends up in NE since they are down to using a WR as their RB now. 38 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: You beat me to it.

We will at least be subject to a good 15-20 minute pre SB segment on him where everyone will be talking about how Detroit had no idea what they had and how NE found another Diamond in the rough. This will probably be shown around the 45 minute segment on how NE transformed Gordon and turned his life around, saving it for good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reports made it sound serious after the game, but McDermott made it sound like nothing on the radio the next day. The reports said he was taken to the Erie County trauma centre for it after which reminded me of the Jay's Outfielder Kevin Pillar diving to make a catch and hurting his shoulder. He left the game and went to the hospital where they said he was lucky cause the injury was close to being fatal like being in a car accident.

I guess - We're at the point of the year where money is more important than like... bringing in future talent. Abdullahs not signing more than a 1 year deal. If he plays well he'll still leave because hes a UFA. Usually you target guys at this point in the year who are cost and team controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on if he gets claimed or not. For teams out of the hint you bring in guys like this to get a look at them as potential keepers. Most teams give 1 year deals cause they dont want to get tied to a castoff at this point before FA and just want someone to finish the year. At his age, he could be worth taking a flier on for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
