JGMcD2 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 A good friend of mine who has close ties to Kareem said we had interest in signing him this year and will continue to have interest in RFA. I could see us offering $5M - $7M per year to pair with Singletary. Browns have to pay Chubb after next season... I can’t see them tying up $20M + between Chubb and Hunt. 6 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hunt/Singletary would be a lights out backfield. We have to spend money somewhere. He’s not a break the bank kind of guy and is still young. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Cheap....sure. But I am 100% against spending money on a RB. You start getting into the 4-5 million range and no thanks.

The only rb I’d be willing to spend on is Derrick Henry and that’s only because he brings something to the table that no one else does. I don’t necessarily want us to spend big on him, but he’d be the only guy I wouldn’t be necessarily be pissed about signing for big bucks. draft another in the 3rd- 4th and sign another vet.

Are you saying the Bills will sign him and give up a pick? Are you saying the Browns let him walk so the Bills can sign? Sorry if your story does not hang together well as the path to the Bills for him is not a straight line. I am not in favor of giving a pick for him and paying for a large contract.

Locomark Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Anything more than $5 over a 3 yr term for any get RB in this league is a waste of money. If they could get Hunt or Henry for that, so be it. Hunt would be a great spread weapon. While I subscribe to the draft a back in later rounds theory, if getting Hunt allowed us to draft an extra WR or DE in the first 3-4 rounds then I am all for it.

mannc Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 That would be a great pickup. If Hunt regains his previous form—and no reason he couldn’t—we’d ha e one of the best backs in the league, and a serious receiving threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing about him is process John Murphy's heart would be broken if they signed Hunt. He is so sure that the Browns are just underachievers because they have "human trash" like Hunt on their team. He's singled out Hunt before on his show. I think it remains to be seen whether McD would take on someone new with a track record of video-proven issues like Hunt.....but I wouldn't be surprised. LeSean McCoy was a dirt bag off the field but he was a leader in McD's locker room. Probably comes down to alternative availability in the offseason...........if they go one-and-done in the playoffs or lose again to the Pats in the playoffs there will be a good deal of internal pressure to take measures to not lose the division to New England again next year as well as to stock the offense to elevate Josh Allen. It's a pretty strong RB draft, fwiw. Edited December 28, 2019 by BADOLBILZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungBillsFan25 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I’m not sure why Aj Dillion is not being talked about more on the boards as the potential big bruising back we need. Why spend 10mil yr for Derrick Henry when we can get Dillion on day 2 and pay him way less. He kinda reminds me of a bigger stronger James Connor.

You can’t predict Dillon is going to have a Derrick Henry kind of impact. You get what you pay for sometimes. At least with Henry you know what he brings to the table and even for being in the league 4 years he doesn’t have the normal wear and tear. Im sure Beane will be exploring a back to pair with motor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
