From Over the Cap $2.15 Million in cap savings from Ivory $2.3 Million from Bodine $2 Million from Vlad Bodine has a 200k workout bonus - so they would theoretically want to dump him before that triggers. Not for cap reasons so much as - who wants to pay a guy 200 grand to never suit up for the team again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of 1 great or memorable play. he didn’t really do much of anything. In a few years I don’t think I’ll even remember he played for the Bills. Wish him the best but his time in Buffalo was almost non existent. His touchdown against the Vikings was nice. Shady wasn’t very memorable last year either.

I imagine trying to tackle him, would've been like trying to talk a boulder rolling down a mountain at full speed. He got tackled easier than Frank Gore last season and all the other seasons as well.

IgotBILLStopay Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I have conflicting emotions. The Minny game last year (Allen hurdle game) showed the best and worst of Ivory. He had 20 or so rushing attempts and gave us barely 50 yards. But he was good as a receiving back out of the backfield (3 catches for a bunch of yards). We cant blame Shady's abysmal 2018 on the shoddy O-Line and not give Ivory the same benefit. That said, Gore does have skills and running style similar to Ivory - so releasing Ivory does kinda make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best trait as a receiver was the ability to be abandoned by the defense in coverage. Those plays and the wheel route to DiMarco and the TD pass to Dawkins were some of the best plays of the season. If you ain't got the matchups.......create a matchup versus air........those are winners.........Ivory only lost one of those last year........that ball he fumbled with nobody around him in Miami. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I still don’t get paying old rbs $3 million / season. Who is bidding against us for Ivory and Gore?

That's No Moon Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 FWIW, Isaiah Crowell is available and I like him better than Ivory anyway. He's only 26 so he might be too young, but if he doesn't have a deal by the draft he will be extraordinarily cheap to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buff76ers Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I actually don't care. Ivory wasn't gonna see a ton of snaps anyways so why not save the money. Murphy is gonna be good and can be a serviceable 3rd RB. I also think that McCoy could have had a 1000 yards if we had a decent line. I think you can book a RB in round 2-3 just my opinion.
