Breaking: Bills talking to both Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders to come out of retirement and backup Gores backing up of McCoy. OJ is out of the clink too.

Elite Poster Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 If they cut Ivory this makes sense. If they don't, so help me god, Paradis and Daryl better be Buffalo ***** Bills by tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrochester55 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Age jokes aside, Gore is an upgrade over what we had as a backup last year even at this phase of his career. I just hope that Gore is not all that Buffalo has in mind at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 The over-the-top reactions over a measly $2m a year depth signing for RB is priceless ?? You guys are a treasure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 17 minutes ago, Joe in Winslow said: 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.

CommonCents Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 4 minutes ago, MTLBills said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Avenger Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 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.
