Kirby Jackson Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 15 minutes ago, Joe in Winslow said: Not thrilled with this. The people here in Philthadelphia aren't all that keen on him. I’m kind of meh on it as well. He’s just a guy. If he’s cheap and an upgrade to Gore that’s fine. I hope that they add someone more dynamic in the draft. Howard doesn’t do much to make the RBs better imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) It wouldn't be a thrilling addition but it's one out of necessity . We can't go into the draft with only Singletary and Yeldon back there. Edited March 16, 2020 by DJB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Anything more than 2 years - $7-$8M would surprise me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think whatever vet the Bills bring in, wouldn't prevent them from taking another back in this class,. Another back I'd like to see Buffalo pursue. Good shout, I like Freeman a lot as well. How much money do you think he'll get and can we be confident that his injury issues are behind him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s much better than he gets credit for. I think he and Singletary would be a potent duo. IMO, people are too enamored with break away speed rather than moving the chains. Howard moves chains. And Devin may not have elite speed, but he is plenty fast enough and more importantly game fast and averaged 5.1 ypc for a reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Jordan Howard would be a solid addition to our RB group. It would also fill a need which would free them up to move around their draft capital to get the guys they are truly targeting. I honestly think this is what will happen this year. I think we make moves in FA, re-sign our own, and condense our 9 picks to 4 or 5 guys they are truly after. Let the fun begin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Matter_What Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Sorry for the stupid question, but when will be real deals reported? Today after noon ET, which is in less than 2 hours, when the "tampering" period starts? Or on Wednesday when deals become official? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen plenty of situations where it isn't nice to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue with him is he's pretty much purely a two-down player and I'd prefer our vet RB to be the 3rd down guy since that's an area where Singletary struggled as a rookie and rookies in general struggle with it. But Philly fans didn't like him because Philly's coaching staff did like him and that meant less touches for their heartthrob Miles Sanders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deals will be agreed to and reported starting today, made official Wednesday. Could be pending physicals given current environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't be made official until Wednesday but the word will leak out today. Not sure if the coronavirus will impact that at all but I would assume we'll have news to discuss today.

YoloinOhio Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Last year, the Bills deals with Morse, Brown and Beasley were all agreed to prior to the opening of FA, so something to look for this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Howard ran a 4.59 at his pro day. So not an upgrade in terms of speed over Singletary . If this happens leads me to believe we will target more of a speed guy at the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
