It feels like Shady is in his last year and they brought in his buddy Gore. Yeldon will be the 4th guy and a draft pick ahead of him. The Bills may move away from a fullback. I could see that, they could go with a TE who serves as a FB in certain formations. They signed FIsher, who may be able to handle that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Tells me the bills are thinking about packaging up mid round picks to move up for more 2nd/3rd round picks and don't expect RB to be addressed in this draft. I would actually like that.... Parley the 10 picks into 4-5 top-3 round picks. Go for quality over quantity this year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 8 minutes ago, TheTruthHurts said: Have to see the money, but it doesn't make sense for Yeldon. That's how I'm looking at it. Yeldon is and always has been a backup. It’s the week of the draft where teams are looking to add young backs. He certainly isn’t holding out for a starting spot at this point. He took the best offer out there. 5 minutes ago, Wayne Cubed said: I could see that, they could go with a TE who serves as a FB in certain formations.

I'm pretty sure Shady is going to be traded. Yeldon is here to split time with Gore and a rookie. Where would he sign to not be a backup? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk71 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Have never been impressed with this guy at all. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/rb You can go back the years and see that Yeldon's DVOA has not been very good the last 3 years. If you scroll down the page you will see the receiving ratings. PFF had him as the 59th rb last year, right behind Shady. https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/tj-yeldon/9469 I wonder why Spencer Ware is not signed, he is a much better player imo.

Bill, What happened to him? I thought he was going to be a good pro back. Now it seems that he is primarily a specialty receiving back? That is not to say that his receiving talents can't be used but from what has been described he lacks all around ability to be a full fledged primary or second back. I still like this picjup.

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This signing can be two examples by using one object for Shady... it can either be the fire that lights his behind and run more focused, or just the fire that "runs him out"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Beane certainly is positioning the Bills for BPA through all levels of the draft. Who knows for sure what will happen on draft day but the Bills should be well positioned to be much better on the field this year. I love these one and two year contracts as it keeps the Bills out of cap jail down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSE Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) The trio of LeSean McCoy, Gore and Yeldon offers a diverse skill set to go along with quarterback Josh Allen's running ability. Might the addition of Gore and Yeldon this offseason lead to speculation the Bills might dangle McCoy in possible trade talks during the draft later this week? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001027277/article/bills-sign-rb-tj-yeldon-to-twoyear-contract Edited April 22, 2019 by HOUSE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of their contracts (tbd on Yeldon but probably a safe assumption) can be cut for decent savings. McCoy is the obvious choice to me but I don't REALLY believe he or Gore get moved.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Gotta love the fact that Beane refuses to stop looking at all ways of improving the roster, even after his FA blitz and now the attention focused on the upcoming draft. This regime certainly seems to be 100% serious about backing up the process talk with action. You may not agree with all of the personnel moves, but you can't doubt the determination/drive of this group...unlike the Ryan era that reeked of big talk, little actual effort. This particular move as many here have already pointed out, adds another passing element (possibly backfield option security blanket?) for Allen, at a time when it's all about developing Allen and his threat options. I'll take that!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to move any of them off the roster. Very nice set of RBs we have now. Shady and Yeldon can spell each other while sprinkling in Gore. Gore also a fantastic blocker.

It would make sense to roll into 2019 with Miles Sanders, Yeldon and Gore than it would to keep McCoy. Beane and McD are adjourning this for later me thinks.
