If Gordon signs with Denver, the Bills 2nd round pick is looking more and more like a RB pick. Sure, if RB is BPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Interesting seeing the numbers I'm against paying RBs high salaries. HOWEVER, when thinking about pay vs contribution... we're giving Butler (a BUST) $8-9M/year for being a 3rd-in-rotation DT. I'd think Gordon would contribute on Offense more than Butler on Defense. If I had to pick between the two, I'd pick Gordon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess from seeing the various reports over the past few days is that the Bills had interest to a certain price point and then dropped out - and/or I think his representation may have told the Bills that he wanted to stay in the afc west which is why wawrow reported he thought he would end up in KC or Denver last night after talking to his bills source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doled it out to a bust rotational DT. I dont want to pay RBs either, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh, we dont really have the holes or need on O that we do on D, with players leaving in FA and the way we run rotation. So I can see the imbalance in FA. We went heavy on Offense last year in FA. I do expect us to draft heavily on Offense. But that Butler signing is a head-scratcher for me, especially when compared to other players we could get at that price.

D Bilbo: (dials phone). “Hey Brandon! It’s Dem! How would you like to sign the services of THE Melvin “Flash” Gordon? Only 12 mil a season!!!!” Beane: (yawns from being awakened before 5pm). “How did you even get my number?” (Hangs up). D Bilbo: “Hello? Brandon? Is this a fake hang up? It’s a fake hang up, isn’t it?” D Bilbo: (texts call log to 3rd party contacts) D Bilbo: (Dials phone). “Hey John! Did you hear the news? Buffalo! My client LOVES ponies though! So how would you like the services of THE Melvin “Flash” Gordon? Bills are in for 12 million a year!!!!” Elway: “Really? That’s steep Dem. mind if I conference in Beane to understand the guarantees?” D Bilbo: “Ugh, you’re breaking up, John... I can do 8 mil though because let’s face it, it’s Buffalo!!! Lowest I can go!

Process Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 8mm a year for a pretty average back? No thanks. Mid rd pick at min salary is a much better option. Honestly the best thing to do at RB is to take one in rds 3-4 every couple years and never sign or resign one ever. Even when a back turns out to be elite, that rarely lasts more than a couple years, so many recent examples of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurly’s career unfortunately at his age is mostly likely over or is reaching the end. I think it would be more ridiculous if they gave that contact to Gurley than giving it to Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a stat yesterday that said "Now that Todd Gurley has been released by Rams, NONE of the RBs from 2015 draft are still on their original team" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
