He can be had for the next two years at approximately $7.8 million total.  In 2022 you can keep him for 5.9 million if the team chooses.  His total contract is $15.6.  In a small snapshot yes, he's currently in the top 15 category.  He won't be there for long, at the end of FA and extensions he'll be in the 30's.

How much have the Bills put out in RB money the past three years? ---- over $34 million 

 

They're both better than anything we've seen on the field in a number of years in a complimentary RB role.  They'd go great with a rookie RB.  

Spending wisely here will allow the team to put more money on the important positions on the OL and DL.  

 

I didn't post what you responded to.  How did that happen?

Duke Johnson is far from trash. Have you ever watched that guy play? 

Duke- Quick acceleration thru the hole, can break it to the outside, excellent hands, runs good routes, patient on screens and gets up the field in a hurry. A really good ball player for sure and would love to have him.

Duke has been a backup his entire career and his contract gives him top 10-15 RB money in terms of cap hit. In what way is that a bad deal for him? He’s probably not worth the money. If Buffalo gets rid of McCoy, I’d be okay with Duke and a rookie but paying for both he and McCoy would be bad. 

For one season in which we won’t be spending to cap?  Overreact much?

Hyde is visiting KC and looks like he may sign there. 

 

Yep, and the board geniuses know more than one of the more successful franchises over the past five years.  Let alone a head coach that can get the most out RBs.

Hyde is average. He was averaging 3 YPC in Cleveland last year. Chubb starts and goes for 5. And Hyde isn't a good receiver either.

 

He's ok, but nothing special.

Do you think the switch to Baker and his elevated play had anything to do with Chubb getting an honest look from opposing Ds?  We all know how well the Tyrod experiment went.  For the record, I'm looking at a guy like Hyde to get no more then 100-125 carries.  Draft a Rb you think can be a feature back, follow what Cleveland did with Chubb.  I don't want McCoy here.

It helped, but Chubb looked better all year. Dorsey finally traded Hyde so Hue was forced to play Chubb. Hyde then went to Jacksonville and basically not play.

 

Hyde is a decent player, but he isn't special either.

Duke is one of the most under used and under rated players in the NFL for real.  Been mind blowing how stupid Cleveland was with his career.  Now they have 2 full time studs to carry the rock, so he is expendable.  This guy will be a steal for someone.  

 

You guys remember Priest Holmes in Baltimore BEFORE he went to Cheifs?  Mediocre RB who flourished in a better situation.  I think Duke can have that type of transition.  Not saying he will be as good as Priest was for those Chiefs, but saying I think you will see a major jump in his production too on a team that makes better use of his skill sets.  

 

I am ALL FOR trading for him.  Obviously, it needs to make sense.  I wouldnt be surprised if we could get him for one of our extra 5th round picks or maybe our 6th.  RB's just dont hold high trade value.
