TigerJ Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 With Melvin Gordon going to the Broncos, the market has shrunk a bit. The bigger names remaining include Lamar Miller, (formerly of the Texans and Miami) Devonta Freeman, (formerly of the Falcons) and Carlos Hyde. Hyde is a heavy duty back and at 29 has some miles on him. However, his last season in Houston was a career best. Lamar Miller, who also played for the Texans last season, is also good sized, a bit younger, but has more miles than Hyde. Freeman is a smaller back, about the same weight and only a bit taller than Singletary. He is 28 and has been productive in a tandem running back situation his entire career in Atlanta. Buffalo could also go with a running back that has lower miles. Ty Montgomery spent last season with the Jets. It was his worst statistically with only 3.2 YPC. That might have been an issue with the Jets offense as a whole as LeVeon Bell was pretty bad too. Montgomery also had 5.9 YPC in 2016 with Green Bay. He was drafted as a WR, so he knows how to run routes and catch the ball. He is 6' and 216 lbs. CJ Prosise spent his whole career to this point in Seattle, where he was lightly used. In 4 seasons he has a total of 65 carries. He's got good size and good speed. He also played a little receiver (in college). Wendell Smallwood is, as his name suggests, on the small side. On the other hand, he's fast, and was productive in college. He's been lightly used in the pros and has unimpressive stats. Here are a few more listed here https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/us-senators-sold-stock-after-coronavirus-briefings-in-january/ar-BB11rJg6?ocid=spartanntp if you want to check them out. I wouldn't mind seeing the Bills pick up someone like Ty Montgomery. We would be asking him to carry the ball fewer than 20 times a game. He's shown he can produce at that volume and he's versatile.

NewEra Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 None. Draft one. Not enough speed available 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 None of them are good options. We have 7 draft picks. Just draft one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I like Hyde. 1k rusher that would be a good compliment to Motor. I'd draft one as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Looks like they feel Singletary can be the bell cow. We still have Yeldon, who's great depth, can do alot worse. I'd Draft a RB that would be a great complement to Singletary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I want Dobbins or the kid from Boston College, but we may have to move up a bit in two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Can this merge with poll one? And can we take Gordon out of the poll? Good discussion in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd Draft a RB that would be a great complement to Singletary “Bell cow” running backs are antiquated thinking and i have faith they don’t want a repeat of 2019, where as soon as he leaves the game, we have a useless, one dimensional running back out there. They clearly don’t trust Yeldon, otherwise he would’ve played more over Gore. If I were Buffalo, I’m signing Hyde or Miller and drafting a RB for our active roster. Singletary Hyde or Miller Draft Pick 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I'm taking Hyde and drafting a back. Even as high as RD2. Either way, I want a vet in the room. Especially with how we saw Gore fade down the stretch... never a bad option to have depth at the position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I doubt any of these guys get signed prior to the draft. That said, Hyde is the best remaining by a lot. If he can be had for $4-5M after the draft, sign me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I strongly doubt Beane is interested in any of the remaining FA RB's. Just go out and draft a good back in rounds 2-4. Plenty out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I personally have no problem with Yeldon......the problem is the bills appear to have one based on what they did with him last year......Same situation as Duke Duke (WR) and Yeldon at the latter part of last year should have been activated.....the bills didnt do it....which leads me to believe that the bills think they are not he answer as a backup at their respective positions I personally think they ARE answers at their respective postiions...Yeldon provides that receiving back and he is actually very good at that.....Duke provides that big body receiver we dont have. We will have to see what they do going forward....if they are not going to go with Yeldon and Duke they need to find players with those same skillsets 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nato7412 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Bring back Shady. Im also happy with Yeldon, he's a great pass catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillies Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Nice thing is, this team is very likely to be a pass-first offense now. Not sure speed is what is needed for a complimentary back - would rather have a bowling ball that can get the tough yard or two when needed. Howard would have been perfect... but someone built like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
