davefan66 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I’d take Gordon on a 1 year big contract. May just satisfy him in this market. We obviously are not looking at just making the playoffs this year. He’d be a great addition. Edited March 18, 2020 by davefan66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I would want him as the second back with Singletary, he can catch out of backfield and can Handle the load of needed. But obviously he is not a long term solution so two year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Nails Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Bills talked to Lamar Miller and Howard too. They are probably "talking" to everyone under the sun to gauge the market. #notnews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara Dude Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 2 hours ago, SCBills said: Devin Singletary is electric. An absolute weapon, but he isn’t a workhorse in a league that doesn’t have many workhorses at that position. A guy like Gordon rotating in with Singletary gives us a running/receiving threat at all times out of the backfield. With Diggs and Brown on the outside, Beasley and Knox underneath, and then a RB potentially flexing out... that’s a lot to process for the opposing defense. More of quick feet running back than speed to take it to the house, i don't believe he has size or speed to be every down back. Good player but i think the Bills needs a better quality back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 FWIW this guy tweeted out that the Bills were negotiating with Quinton Jefferson several hours before the signing was announced. He does appear to have some legitimate info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Star, Murphy, Hughes can come off after this year. Brown, Beasley or Hughes can come off the year we need to sign Allen or extend the 5th year option on him. We have plenty of money to get Tre, Milano, and Dawkins signed and do what we want. We're in such good shape it's hard to fathom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthomas Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I have a good friend who is a Chargers fan & he dogs Gordon the most. Says Gordon has fumble issues, disappears for games & has a poor attitude & gives questionable effort. From the way he goes off on Gordon, i'd rather we target someone else. However i think its all for naught as i can't imagine Beane giving Gordon the contract he's after... i just can't imagine it... (just watch Beane dishes out a Star-like contract to MG for 4 years & 36 million) haha... Please no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I think he would be a nice addition. Nice receiving outlet for Josh Allen and more burst/power than Gore. Not great anymore, but good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I actually want no part of Gordon. I watched a few if his games last season and he was bad. Went down easy, fumbled and looked slow. Ekeler was so much better, it was almost comical that they split duties when Gordon came back. I dont think Tyrod is a good QB, but I do think Ekeler has a chance to be a top 2 fantasy RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm at the point where if McD wants someone, then I do too, but I'm a believer in drafting RB's not paying a lot for them. Singletary was under used last year, and now we have Diggs as well to demand another 70-100 targets. Gordon is a bell cow back, wherever he goes he's going to be the RB1. Dont see the fit for us, hope we draft a rookie and run with him for RB2. Also i like Senorise Perry he might surprise everyone in camp and win the 2 spot.

Besides the price and the culture fit, you have no idea what future production will be beyond an estimate based on past production. It would seem this is where you go to the draft to supplement Singletary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkep32 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I think this is a simple yes, if we can get him for right price. I wouldnt mind a 3yr, 22mil type contract but heavy on the incentives so maybe 3yr 15mil with 7 mil in incentives. This is a guy teams have to worry about, and we are not asking this guy to carry the ball 300+ times. Maybe 150 to 170 range with 20 to 40 receptions. Him and Singletary in the backfield I'm not worried about it one bit. When gore came in you knew he was plodding for 3 yards. With either one of these two can break big gains. From a strategic standpoint this would be a great addition. Gordon, Singletary, yeldon, jones, rookie rb(akers/dillion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
