Tied with Sproles for oldest RB in the league. Sproles he is not. Frank Gore is a friggen beast.....even at his age. For basically minimum dollars. This does NOTHING to effect getting other players because we have so much money to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Just now, BillsfanAZ said: Oh how I have missed over reactive Bills fans. Gore is still playing at a high level. He can do everything even though he is older. They will cut Ivory and prob draft a RB in the mid rounds. Calm down. I think the point is that he maybe coulda been had later. Maybe used the time today and earlier on in FA to go after people that will actually help the team. But that's just my reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a career fumble count of 46. Compared to Ivory's 19. Of course Gore has 5 more years in the league, but that's more than twice the fumbling percentage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCBongo Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Cut Ivory, draft RB. Shady gets the starts, gets spilled by the rookie. Gore used in Red Zone/Goal line/short yardage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice_32 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I guess this is just them choosing him over Ivory? We need a rookie in here badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing ever surprises me with these guys. Almost no matter what gore does, this will be completely pointless. You could have drafted a 21 year old in the 5th round and instead you just paid 2 million to a 36 year old running back... they can STILL DRAFT ONE Jesus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Buffalo Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 $2 million deal is not bad though... less than Ivory, about the same as what Blount was paid last year... I see it as depth and give him a chance to compete. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/running-back/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) This is hilarious. I'm just gonna put this here, and feel free to call me on it if it doesn't come true: McCoy and Gore are gonna tear it up in 2019 behind an improved offensive line and make all the people whining about this move look silly. Come 2020, the Bills will draft some youngsters at the position. Until then, it's the Medicare Express! Edited March 11, 2019 by Logic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddo Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 1 minute ago, custcarcen said: Trading Shady ??? We sure didn't sign him for Special Teams and there are lots and lots of RBs available in the Draft. I wouldn't think so. If it wasn't for age, it's actually a good mix with 2 guys who hit holes hard, and punish defenders, in Ivory and Gore, and the elusiveness of Shady. Tbh, I don't give a darn about age if Frank still pops out close to 5 yards a carry - and there's nothing aside from age and a crap O-Line, that says he can't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 People keep whining about Gore without mentioning that he still produced at a high level last year. A backfield featuring two probable future HOFers in Gore and McCoy. Should help from an offensive leadership standpoint, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
