Justin Jackson is serviceable. I don’t think they want to trade him either but it’s clear they won’t cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They like him but he’s not Zeke. They have other options in their offense. And he has zero leverage.

PetermansRedemption Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 6 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: They actually don’t need to cave at all. He has no leverage. He’s under contract. They offered him a long term deal already and he turned it down. They are now done negotiating with him until after the season. If he sits out too long, his contract will toll to next year. That means he loses a year accrued toward FA and will be under the 5th year option, again, in 2020. Didn’t Zeke have two years left on his deal? Or am I mistaking.

He is going into his 4th season. Technically he only had one but the cowboys tacked on the 5th year option. Gordon is going into his 5th, and the Chargers also is exercised his option.

Playoffs? Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 59 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: I'm praying it's not the Bills. The only thing I know is death taxes and the Bills spending top assets on RB's. This has Bills written all over it. A lot of money. No elite talent at the position. I'm prepared for it. No way it’s the Bills. My guess would be Dolphins.. but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Josina’s tweet seemed to just indicate there was a team that inquired. Not that there was any back and forth. Probably hung up when they found out what they want for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's for a 2nd and a 6th then I could deal with it. I could live with a 4 year 48mil deal with 30 guaranteed. ...strictly opinion, but I don't see that in McBeane's wheel house.........

Beane/Allen Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Rumor has it Beane wants Gordon bad. Is he being swayed by the local media (Mike Schopp) which seems to put little emphasis on the running back position? Personally, I feel a big play on Gordon would show lack of confidence in who is under center. Edited September 4, 2019 by Beane/Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the Bills would care interested in this trade but can you explain why you think it would show a lack of confidence in the QB? MG is utilized a ton in the passing game, too.

He hasnt been here long (could be a new account of an old poster), my guess is its a troll account based on the little posts I have seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I’d be fine with Gordon. He’s not Zeke so I’m not paying a 1st or 2nd for him. He’s an elite skill player though and the Bills could use that. I don’t care how much they have to pay him because I don’t see the Bills in any sort of cap trouble in the near future. Front load it and give yourself outs after year 2 and year 3. I’d offer a 3rd and a 6th. People are too fixated on “you shouldn’t pay ____ for a RB.” I’m fine paying elite players at any position if it doesn’t damage my cap. The Bills can EASILY do that and still have plenty to do whatever else is needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay...that's a little better. I still wouldn't give up a first for a RB though unless he's something really special like Adrian Peterson in his prime or CJ Spiller in 2012.

Agreed, well maybe not on that Spiller part lol. I would rather wait and see what we have in Singletary first, once the real action starts. If we did it for a 5th year and a 2nd or something next year I wouldnt hate it, not sure how happy id be though either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
