It didn't take long for LeSean McCoy to find another team and he's reuniting with a familiar face in the process. McCoy is signing a one-year, $3 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. McCoy can earn up to $4 million with incentives, Rapoport added. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001045938/article/following-bills-cut-lesean-mccoy-signing-with-chiefs Edited September 1, 2019 by HOUSE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) 54 minutes ago, FUTURIST said: The Patriots did not invest a ton in the RB position. They invested 12 million over 3 years with only 4.69M guaranteed. That is probably what one should invest. Investing 9 million in a running back that would get 1/3rd of carries is not smart. McCoy is now being paid what he should be paid. $3M with up to $4M. Bills had to cut McCoy at the salary he was getting. Financially speaking you are correct. But draft asset wise they have. I know Michel was taken at 31 overall but for the Patriots, that is a high draft pick. The same as when the Bills use a #11 or #8 pick on a Lynch or Spiller. We never really paid a lot of money to either of those backs either as they were on rookie deals but we did use the best draft capital we had on them. Same thing the Patriots did when drafting Michel. I doubt Michel will ever see a second contract from the Patriots. Just like Lynch and Spiller did not receive one from the Bills.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 4 minutes ago, QCity said: yeah, the Pats dynasty is known for their RBs Truthfully the Patriots dynasty is probably the most balanced dynasty of all time. Able to win in pretty much every imaginable way. With a game manager style QB in Brady's early days to league MVP QB in his later days. Over the course of that 20 year dynasty their have certainly been stretches where RB's have carried a heavy load. And with White and Michel, the recent trend has been RB's dominating over say WR's/TE's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Bills fans since Jim Kelly: all we need is a great QB, the rest will sort itself out! Bills fans the day after McCoy is cut: all we need is a great RB, the rest will sort itself out! ? fwiw, I agree w Gahan here - no more investing high picks, dollars or trade assets in RBs, please!

SCBills Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 New England illustrated his point perfectly. It’s finally what we seem to be doing. Its ok to invest 12 mil in running backs, plural. Not so much with 12 mil for one running back, singular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) The Bills have cap room. It's not an over-investment in RBs, but a lack of investment in other positions and poor coaching. *during Shady's tenure here. 2 hours ago, HOUSE said: The Bills are better off putting their resources into running backs T.J. Yeldon (29), Devin Singletary (40) and Senorise Perry (32) than into continuing to overspend on backs like LeSean McCoy, Mark Gaughan says. (James P.

Jerry Jabber Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 “Beane has put an end to the streak. Singletary was the 74th pick in the draft. Instead of spending $6.175 million in base salary on McCoy, the Bills will devote $3.49 million in base pay — combined — to Singletary, Gore, T.J. Yeldon and Senorise Perry. That’s a much smarter allocation of resources.” I agree with this. How many times during the 17 year playoff drought did we see the Bills draft either a RB or DB with their first round pick only to be traded or not resigned after their rookie contract? Glad to see Beane making smart decisions and not breaking the bank on the position and focusing more on other important positions such as the Offensive line. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCoy/News file photo) By Mark GaughanPublished 6:00 a.m. September 1, 2019|Updated 1 hour ago Fans and media have spent the past month talking about how little preseason means in the NFL – with good reason. However, there was significance to the past six weeks of Buffalo Bills football when it came to LeSean McCoy. The strong training camp and preseason performances of Devin Singletary and Frank Gore cemented the irrelevance of McCoy on the Bills’ roster. The bigger-picture takeaway on the end of the “Shady era” in Buffalo is this: Let’s all hope and pray this ends a long and regrettable chapter in Bills roster-building history: The Giant Investment in Running Backs. More https://buffalonews.com/2019/09/01/lesean-mccoy-buffalo-bills-devin-singletary-frank-gore-nfl-cuts-draft-brandon-beane/ Meh as a story. The long and regrettable era that must end is the era of switching coaches and systems every 1-3 years. McCoy was brought in to serve the needs of an OC who hasn't been here in 4 seasons (as of a couple weeks on), and who was deliberately crafting an offense proven to succeed with a sub-optimal passing QB who was also a dual threat (Kaepernick, then Taylor). Did it work, Yes, it took us from #18 offense to #12 or #10 offense and within whiskers of another 9-7 record, likely better if the D had been able to maintain. Will it still work? The Ravens hope so. It was pretty clear from how the contract was structured that they didn't anticipate McCoy being on the team in 2018 or 2019, but the new regime needed to have SOMEONE on offense after they cleared out the rest of the talent or let it walk. So they kept McCoy on an overvalued contract. In 2017 they ran him into the ground. I think he'd have been better with an OL last year, but there still would have been a drop-off. But to claim the roster was built to "overspend" on RB because Shady was kept into the last years of a contract with escalating salary at the time his age would predict declining production is a bit of journalistic puffery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 An elite RB has been hard to find. Most teams just get RB's that 1) Fit their system and 2) Do at least a couple of things well enough to be effective. It would be nice to have Barkley, Elliott, or McCaffrey, but you can be successful without those types as long as the committee you roll with compliment each other well. I think Singletary can be effective and put up numbers. At the same time he had a ton of touches in college. Let's hope he can give us sustained production for about 4-6 years. I also think our guys we have as a whole can fill their role well. We'll see how it plays out here and for Shady in KC also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something like $4m, $3m guaranteed This all to me is about the Bills finally jumping into the 21st century and passing first and passing to set up the run. I hope we've arrived.
