Big Turk Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I know he is 33 but he was pretty productive last year with 8 sacks and 9 TFL in only 13 games...would likely not cost much either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills should do everything they can to sign Gurley, he is the star player this team needs. Has both speed and power, worth dropping Smith & Murphy which saves us 10 mill and then add another 6-7 million. End of the day Sean wants to run the ball and this guy is a true workhorse back, your not getting that from Singeltary who is not fast or big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 We already have three Clay Mathews in Murphy Hughes and Maddison. He is exactly what we don't need. Another veteran, somewhat washed up, somewhat still productive DE. Not a bad thing to have but we have enough of them. We need some youth at the position. I'm all for taking one in Rd 2. Young guy with potential is what we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel that the bills made a big mistake in not activing Yeldon and giving him burn...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Matthews is old and hurt and Gurley is hurt even more. We already signed three defensive linemen and we’ll probably cut Murphy and have Harrison Phillips coming back along with Star and Hughes. we’ll get a RB on the cheap in the mid rounds in the draft.

Clyde Edwards with Singletary would by a dynamic backfield. Claypool is another interesting name. Big body wide out. We might see a CB taken in the second or third. I don’t think we need a vet leader in any of the defensive position rooms. Klein was brought in as the Lorax replacement for LB. A few other guys have been brought in for ST roles. I don’t see a need for Matthews. Edited March 20, 2020 by atlbillsfan1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sacks were good, the rest of his game not so good. 34 years old, he might still be useful as a pass rush specialist I guess. Wouldn't surprise me if he retires though.

MrEpsYtown Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 If we didn’t sign Klein it would make some sense as Clay could replace Lorax as the combo off ball sam/rush end. But I think that ship has sailed. I’m guessing he goes to a 3-4 team, maybe the Bucs and goes to play with Brady. I’d say Bucs, Raiders, Cardinals or Falcons. Gruden loves this guy.
