Still, you don’t want him in the locker room if his Jags teammates lobbied to get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you also wanna count other things Fournette also had over 50 more catches On 60 more targets. We can go round and round on this. I don't think Fournette is a great back, I dont think he is an upgrade from what we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Well congrats, folks! We made it 15 pages and no one has referred to this disappointing hot-head as "Not a Process Guy"! That said, I dont want him in our locker room or RB room. BUT if it keeps him out of New England, I'd think about it. Spite Signing!

Is zach moss good? We dont know yet. Fournette on field healthy is a 1000 yard rusher a highly talented RB. For one year I'd take it all day. Cause what if he goes for 1200 and 10 TDs or the opposite these are the chances you have to take. moss and Singletary will be here next year And if he gets 1200 yards and is a total locker room cancer and stunts the growth of the two young backs you signed up to be part of your team for more than 1 year are you still good with that?

Hahaha I go by facts he Is a 1,000 yard rusher a good RB better then the ones we have now. Is he a cancer idk cause I dont believe everything I read on the internet media flips and scrambles words just to make people look bad. Were you happy about getting diggs? I was. but from the media he was a cancer players didnt like him. He was bad mouthing his QB his coordinator behind the scenes he was lazy in practice. Was it true idk. The videos I've seen here he is dancing good vibes giving a 100 percent in practice Edited September 2, 2020 by TJC25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane doing wizardly things just for fun How much could he be "Driving up the price" if a waiver claim on him would have cost 4 million? I think there is legitimate interest here if the price is right so to speak. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I wouldn't be worried about him being a locker room cancer with the Bills. He likely won't cost much and that Jags team has been a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Sal is disputing that Shefter said the Bills called on Fournette. He said it’s an internet rumor from a blog that people ran with, without fact checking. he says the audio/video of Shefter saying this doesn’t exist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry is one dimensional. You don't have to agree with it, but it's how I see it. Just the latest example of a post that makes me wonder how any team other than the Bills has ever won a game.

I think there is legitimate interest here if the price is right so to speak. You want there to be interest ?? Every GM basically sets himself a number for a players worth right? If Pittsburgh wants him at 2.1 for the season and the bills and pats are in the 2.5 range it’s likely Pittsburgh never even makes an offer. The difference between league minimum and low ball offers and 4 million on the waiver claim is huge. Every team has a plan for almost every penny of their cap the next 2-4 years. By driving up the price even by 250k or a million can scare and chase other teams away from even trying. Same reason every coach and gm lies in interviews about their positional groups and how happy they are with them, then they add talent within a day or two after. Same reason agents “leak” “news” like this hoping to drive up contracts. Fournette is a good player, who put up some decent stats on some really bad offenses. There’s no real downside to buffalo signing him other than taking playing time from motor and moss. But with singletary and moss already here along with the other backs it doesn’t make a ton of sense to bring him in right before the season starts. Jacksonville surely hated him and did him zero favors with the timing of his release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he plays lazy and is definitely not worth the money. Kamara on the other hand I am very interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Moss will do on the field what Fournette could do at a close enough level without any drama. But I think that the Bills aren't going to risk their reputation by pulling an offer from a player (players and agents talk to one another about fake offers.) If they have interest it isn't to drum up the price on such a low range deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great he is a 1,000 yard rusher, so was Carlos Hyde- 1,000 yards doesnt make you a good back anymore. You think he is good, I think he is a waste of talent. I am glad the Bills dont have interest in him for real. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering the Jags tried all off season to trade him and said they couldn't even get a 6th or even a 7th offered for him, I think thats not a likely scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
