Which players?

The players of today, the rookies coming out of the draft and some of the veterans. The NFL is not what it used to be. Back then It was all about the team, now it’s all about I’m only loyal as much as you pay me. Players who have good contracts sit out and refuse to participate because they want better deals than what they’re getting. It’s ridiculous play the ***** game and be a team player. Too many me players in today’s NFL. But ultimately I blame Free agency for the demise of the NFL. Free agency has killed the game.

A lot of people here just assume that Zach Moss is going to be an instantly positive contributor. I'm not saying he won't be, but the kid is a 3rd round pick. If he's never any good in the NFL it would be far from a shock. The fact that Singletary has been as good as he has so far should be more of a surprise than it would have been had he been terrible.

I like Moss... may not be a first round pick but he was super talented coming out of college... and he’s looked good in camp.. not to mention I think our line will see a huge jump with Ford at RG and Williams at RT.. never draft a RB high nor pay one top dollar... 3rd round is about the highest I’d draft one.... o-line is more important..

Based on what?

Based on a good camp that he’s having and what he did in college. He’s not a first round pick by any means but I think he will definitely help the running game here. It sounds to me your not a fan of moss. But to be honest our running game will only be as good as our O line

What are this guys "issues" again? He sat on the bench (when inactive) and won a grievance against the team? 

1600 yards from scrimmage last year - he's no bum. I like him in Chicago! 

 

What surprised me the most is he had 76 receptions last year. I heard that and immediately looked it up because it didn’t sound right.

I would love him to be our third back but I would expect someone else to give him more money for more playing time. The only way he comes to Buffalo is if he believes he has a chance to be our one.

Yeah.... I don’t see that happening... questionable work ethic.... came to camp out of shape before...probably wants to be paid at least $5M... that’s more than Singletary/Moss combined... he’d be paid starter money to be our 3rd back... not a process guy...?‍♂️

That's not at all the case. I just think it's extremely presumptive to think that a 3rd round running back should be counted on to be a significant part of your offense.

This is unsurprising to me.  He has underperformed his draft status, not been a team player, and clearly was not part of their long term plan.  For those suggesting we sign him, no thanks.  No better than third best on this team and not worth the headaches.

My guesses... Seattle, Vegas, Houston. 

 

I think he does to the better teams. Vegas isn’t one of them.

When you keep dumping your best players, you're rebuilding.  Can't believe they didn't dump St Doug at the same time.  May be they figure they will be lousy this season regardless, so lets keep him one more year to save having to pay two coaches, him and his replacement.

 

They need someone there for the time until the team moves to London...

A lot of good RBs are drafted in the 3rd round. It's not extremely presumptive to think so. Kamara, Kareem Hunt, David Johnson,  Drake....

Who's going to be the guy in Jax now?

 

I love that they did this after two of my auction leagues

Yea I hate when that happens. We have ours on 9-5-20 to at least help with that kind of thing. It’s hard to get 10/12 guys together for a draft  but the sooner you make it to the start of the season the better off you are.
