I think he'd be a good compliment (pounder) to Singletary's style for a (4th thru 7th rounder) exchange. Set to make $4.2 Million this year and 5th year option available.

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Back and forth on this one .... figuring he’s gonna have a short career with the pounding he takes, but as a compliment I think he’d hold up for a couple seasons. Prefer a pick in the 5th or later, but I grudgingly say yes - championship windows don’t stay open indefinitely in the vast majority of cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babulator Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 It would be silly to say no for a 5th. That being said, theyre not letting him go for a 5th. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceVilanch Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I think it would take a 3rd to get him, but for the purposes of your poll I put yes. He would be a great big back to compliment motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 It'd be fine because once you acquire him, you can always cut him if you ever need the cap space. Having said that, he's the 6th highest paid RB in the league and I think Singletary is better than him. I would rather be seeking a WR or pass rusher in a trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) I would because it’s a steal. Not sure how he fits in to the team, but low risk high reward. Edited March 5, 2020 by Over 29 years of fanhood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 For a 4th, absolutely. When healthy, he's one of the best backs in football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 For being a big guy he plays kinda soft and is often injured even if he plays through it. But at such a low cost as asked in this thread sure, most of those low picks are going to have a real struggle to even make this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Sure, a 5th I´ll be ok with, but I still draft a RB for the long run. I think having 3 capable RBs is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBuff423 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The simple answer is yes....the true answer is, like anything else in life or the NFL, it depends on the price. Fournette's year was almost a tale of two years. He started out much like the way he finished the year before, but much of his last year was very good albeit strangely missing TDs. If you get that version of Fournette, then he's worth a 4th Round pick - otherwise, based on value of his position, the Bills would be overpaying for his services.

Captain Hindsight Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 For a 4th I'm faxing it 12 different times to make sure the league gets it in time I'm not a huge Fornette fan, but for a 4th that is a steal. Almost as lopsided a deal as Kiko for McCoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritBill Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 25 years old. Decent numbers last year. His style would be a perfect compliment to Motor. For a 5th-7th I'd (probably) carry him to Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara Dude Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Yes i would give them a 3rd rounder, Sean likes to run the football and he is the type of guy who can carry a team. I don't think Singeltary because his lack of size and average speed brings that to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'd do it for a two year rental player as his compensation is pretty fair with his production. I don't know much about his character though so I'd be careful. He might demand a new contract and sit out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I thought he was overrated in college. He looks like a 40 year old and has a ton of miles in him. You can do better for much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 If I'm running the team... sure, why not? I'd go as high as a 3rd. But I don't run the team, McBeane do... and I don't think Fournette fits their character profile. He's had attitude issues, had the fight up here, pouted on the sidelines, defiance with coaches, etc. His numbers for last season aren't too bad. Before that, though, he was criticized a lot for a 3.3 YPR in '18 and a 3.9 YPR in '17. I think he'd be a good in a combo with a guy like Singletary. Doubt he'd wanna be on a team where he isn't the featured back, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your stat of 38% was from a poll that had NOTHING to do with the virus. "Another case in point: 38% of American beer drinkers surveyed this week said they wouldn't buy Corona "under any circumstances" at the moment." It was deliberately framed after the fact to dishonestly imply that the reason for not buying it was because of the virus. No, they just don't like or want that kind of beer. Actually look into the sources of your "stats" before cherry picking. "Lies, damn lies, and statistics" as they say. *edit* Literally one of the first things you learn in first year university statistics is how people with an agenda can and will manipulate a poll and twist the results thereof to support a preconceived notion. 38% of people didn't say "I think Corona beer transmits the virus", they just simply said "I won't buy the beer" and the people doing the poll used the vague wording of the poll to insert their own implications.
