Kirby Jackson Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) There are a lot of options on the market for RB still. Personally, I’d prefer to add one in the draft but that’s not the point here. If you HAD to add one of these guys to the Bills who would it be? You must factor in cost, fit, injury history, skill set, etc... It is NOT as simple as “which one of these guys is best?” The question is, “which one of these guys would you like the Bills to add?” Edited March 20, 2020 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conlan58 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Melvin Gordon, and it's not even really close. Beane has shown he is more than competent with the cap, so if he signs him, I am confident it won't be detrimental to the team/cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I'm on the gurley train. Freeman after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Gurley and no medical= no Gordon gets the nod here and can catch and run. Will Beane pull the trigger? probably not as someone will over pay. Lots of options in the draft and the Bills don't need all 7 picks so Beane can move for the guy he really wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRightRevenge Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I'm more about value and production. Freeman & Gurley show what happens when sign a big contract and get injured. Gordon didn't show squaduskie after he sat out and was playing for a contract and Fubarred and can't even get back what the Chargers offered him prior to holdout. Hyde (my vote) has flipped a few teams and was very productive last year for Texans and will come much more economically. Lamar ... no votes and I agree at time of this typing.

snamsnoops Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Melvin Gordon and Todd Gurley would want to be paid and be a #1, and I don't see that with having motor! Freeman wouldn't be a bad choice, but I want a bigger back. Lamar Miller is meh having not played last year, so my choice would be Hyde. I think a 2 year deal would be ideal. I also think drafting a kid in the 5th or later would be a good idea..... Edited March 20, 2020 by snamsnoops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Gurley if healthy. Not knowing that, I chose Gordon. If we sign Gordon, we really have no needs and can go bpa whole draft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all Gore could do Did you ever see Gore take one outside the tackles? The rookie found a way to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I like Gordon out of the bunch, buy I went with the more realistic option imo of Carlos Hyde. He still doesn't have that much mileage and is coming off of his best season in Houston. I think he would do the same or better behind our OL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Beane is going to use a 2nd on an RB he probably wants the reasonable contract that comes with drafting one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have one of the best cap situations in the league and a need for that type of player at RB. Sometimes it feels like the mentality is that the Bills have less money than everyone else. We could spend up to13 million and still be at the league average for cap space. Let's sign a guy!

They can sign someone like Gordon but the cap space has dried up for the most part. With Gurley now off the board I would lean towards Hyde. He’s the right combination of cost and effectiveness. He’s coming off a nice year. Edited March 20, 2020 by Kirby Jackson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I don't know what CBs are left in FA, but I think I would rather they sign a reinforcement there and look to the draft for a RB in 2nd or maybe 3rd. If the FA RBs are better than the CBs, then I guess I could understand signing a FA RB. Improving the receiving weapons, as they've done with the Diggs trade, should help open up running room for whomever is carrying the ball. If they think they can significantly upgrade the OL, I think that would help the run game as well,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
