That’s where I’m at. A 36 year-old Frank Gore doesn’t need to be signed 4 hours into FA.

 

Maybe I'm overconfident, but this reminds me of when Mike Tolbert was the first "leaked" signing 2 years ago...there were also rumblings that we were pursuing fullbacks like DiMarco...

 

...then, a few hours later, a press release announcing the signings of Tolbert and DiMarco...and, by the way, two dudes named Poyer and Hyde.

 

I have to imagine that there's more going on behind the scenes...but I could be wrong.

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.

 

I understand that but I am sure the Bills have many irons in the fire and are in talks with many different players at the same time. I doubt they just focus on one player at a time.

You have no idea if they're drafting an RB or not. That narrative can be revisited after the draft. No point in jumping the gun now. I do agree that we do need to draft a young rb and groom them. You now have 2 of the best

They can draft a guy and bring in a UDFA back. What purpose does having all these old guys have? They are declining, give someone a chance that can contribute going forward.

I hope you’re right. Maybe we will get Paradis/Morse and Williams/James later today?

This all happened fast as soon as Earl Campbell refused suit up for the Bills....

 

Brilliant marketing by the team - appeal to an older demographic with more established disposable income...a lock to do cross-promotions for Geritol and a whole host of prescription/OTC medications...

Yea, Gore still has some juice in the tank and he's one of the best blocking RBs ever but I don't know, just seems like you could wait a bit on him. Maybe another RB shakes lose that you like.
