Good line. BADOL, I find myself in an interesting position this morning: Agreeing with you! It feels weird. But we're both okay with Gore potentially being added, right?

I guess I'm one of the few who agrees with you. Bringing in Frank Gore with less than 500k guaranteed to camp would be a good thing for the expected mid round rookie RB and a wealth of experience for Josh Allen to pick up on would be OK with me even if he didn't make the end of camp cuts.

I don't want to jump the gun, but a story like this is really troubling. When you have 80 mill to work with and the OL being a major need...................... and something like this is your first move. Ouch. If this is the case, the Bills might as well be 40 mill over the cap. But like I said, I don't want to put the cart before the horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) That moment you realize this is the signing Shady was talking about in that cryptic post... In all seriousness, if Gore signs for peanuts, who cares... a Shady/Gore backfield behind an improved OL is more than adequate. I wouldn't mind keeping Ivory and rolling with those three and then addressing the position next offseason. RB is pretty much dead last on my wish list for FA/Draft.

Guys hit the market for a LOT of reasons. I'm 100% certain that he's on the market because of his age. Now drop the straw man argument, since I don't recall saying that he was "amazing". My post read: "I'm fine with it...he'd be a decent RB2 and a stabilizing locker room presence for a team that's got a clear leadership void--especially on the offensive side of the ball."

Dopey Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 If he takes Ivory's place, I'm fine with that. Also, from a PR standpoint, he needs a little over 500 yds. to pass Barry Sanders for 3rd place all-time. Draft a rb mid round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they end up with a premier WR and fortify the OL and sign a guy like Gore...we'll, it'd be nice. Offense has to be the priority from here on out, although pass rush needs help as well.

We're in the first 45 minutes of the tampering period, free agency isn't even officially open yet, and you're upset. And no, I DON'T understand people being puzzled. This team has shouted "We're going to build through the draft" and "we're going to be judicious in free agency" over and over. If people ignore that and expect them to go out and throw crazy money at a bunch of top free agents, they're setting THEMSELVES up for disappointment. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
