C.Biscuit97 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It’s a fine signing but I don’t think they know how position value works. Is there another team in the nfl that has 3 veteran rbs making million plus? If there was ever a position you go young and cheap in, it’s rb. Like i said, Yeldon is an ok player but it’s weird how they value the position. I’d rather spend a 4th or lower on a Bryce Love who has more upside and costs way less.

Shaw66 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I think we're learning a bit about the kind of running backs McBeane like. They live Shady, but if they can't get a Hall of Fame type runner that want touch bbn inside his with good ball security. I think Yeldon's style is a lot like Gore's.

MAJBobby Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) So again how does Yeldon hurt anything. Still have not addressed how Signing Yeldon today means we cannot sign a UDFA. So the entire premise here is asinine You need 90 at camp. Those are the hard Facts. And under top 51 rule now for the cap. And without the Yeldon Singing Bills have 31.2M in cap space. So lets look at the position in terms of Cuts. Shady if cut - 2.625M in Dead Cap, but an 8M savings. Frank Gore - 500K in dead Cap, 1.5M savings Senorise Perry - 50K in dead cap, 760K savings Murphy - 0 Dead Cap 720 Savigns Ford - 0 Dead cap - 570 in savings (not even counted now as is because of the top 51 Rule) Edited April 22, 2019 by MAJBobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Per ESPN Yeldon's time with the Jaguars didn't end on good terms. Executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin blasted Yeldon and Leonard Fournette for their demeanor on the sidelines during the 2018 finale after both players sat on the bench (Yeldon was active but Fournette was not) and appeared disinterested throughout the 20-3 loss to the Houston Texans. Coughlin released a statement after the game in which he said they were "disrespectful, selfish and their behavior was unbecoming that of a professional football player." You finished 5-11, you gave all indication you were dumping Bortles .... What more should Coughlin expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE is the next team on the list for RB/FB positional spending dollars after Buffalo. Once Shady is finished with his contract and if he was replaced next year with a 2nd or 3rd round pick the Bills will be under the league average. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/positional/breakdown/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I think Beane saw Yeldon as a better option than any 4th round RB in the draft. To me Beane might be looking Bryce Love with one of the 5th round picks knowing he wont be able to play til the 2020 season. The Bills can stash him away knowing no other team is going to sign him away from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyBillsFan Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The cynic within me has to ask - if he was any good, why did the Jags let him walk? I also remember Fournette causing us major headaches last year but cannot recall Yeldon doing anything of note. Yeah...not sure about this one.

When you have as much money under the cap as the Bills do, these short term contracts mean nothing at all concerning “position value”. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This feels like a lot of the other additions. Not a superstar, but gives you less “need” in the draft. Could still go that way, but a little deeper going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, IMO, Those Yeldon type guys are more important to Brady because of how he attacks a defense. Im nervous that Daboll is trying to build NE’s offense (dink and dunk) when it doesn’t really fit Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Bean said a while ago that Allen needs to take/make more intermediate passes to get those 5 yard gains that make it 3rd and manageable. This, along with Beasley, are pickups that enable him to do that. We now have 2 speedy receiving options (Foster/Brown) and two intermediate route options (Beasley/Yeldon, and perhaps a TE). I like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I don't understand why everyone is confused by this. Yeldon signed for two years. Next year Shady and Gore will be gone and Yeldon will be the vet in the room along with most likely a high selection of a 2020 RB. Next years class is THE running back class. Not that difficult 5 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to work heavy on that this summer. Daboll will still let his long balls fly but IF JA can perfect the short stuff he will be a force to be reckoned with. Daboll can (if things work out right) cause defenses to defend the entire field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
