H2o Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 An often injured RB who has been ridden like a Brokeback mule since his college days at Stanford, and carries one of the highest price tags at the position, was our Plan A?

Alphadawg7 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) I’d rather get Barkley than CMC. One year left in his deal, only a $7M cap hit. Pair him with JD and watch out. Trade Moss and Beasley and our 4th to NY for Barkley. Moss gives them a potential starter who knows Dabolls offense. Beasley gives them a needed safety blanket to help evaluate Jones that also knows Dabolls offense and comes off the books next year. Salaries we send over basically cover what we pay Barkley.

Logic Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 I find the people who say "I really doubt this is true" to be quite interesting. Are you saying that because you don't WANT it to be true? Rumors from MULTIPLE sources last year said the Bills were very interested in drafting Travis Etienne. We know that coach McDermott likes to have a productive running game, because he has said so directly. This offseason, we know for sure that the Bills prioritized adding a talented receiving back, because they just signed one on the second day of the tampering period. We know that the Carolina-to-Buffalo pipeline is a real thing, because we've seen multiple instances of it. Knowing everything I just listed above, why is it so hard to believe that Beane would pursue this trade? I get that McCaffrey is oft injured and gets paid a ton, but is it so hard to believe that Beane would think that a 25 year old offensive weapon like McCaffrey, with 2,000-yards-from-scrimmage potential every year, would be the piece that puts the Bills offense over the top? It seems like very realistic possibility to me that the Bills would have done this trade at the right price. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 It's funny to me how many people are saying that a guy who sustained injuries two years in a row -- at a position where injuries frequently occur, no less -- is broken down, washed up, etc. If you feel like he's injury prone, fine. If you feel like he's overpaid, fine. But "broken down"? "Finished"? I think that's a bunch of nonsense. He's 25 years old and there are no indications that any of the injuries he has suffered are likely to be in any way career threatening. The exaggeration of his demise by some on this forum is comical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually Barkley is more done He was never a workhorse player at Stanford and was not projected to be in the pros, but the Panthers gave him almost 1000 touches his first 3 years. Now he's played a total of 10 games the last 2 years. I would stay far away from him, even if his contract wasn't so egregious. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember, he wouldn't be a workhorse here. We would give him heavy usage but nothing like he sees in Carolina. He's the best RB in the league when completely healthy. I trust Beane, if he thought it would have worked, I do to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
