The Ringer Recommends Barkley (Saquon) to fill a need This season...

Buffalo Bills: Running Back

One would think drafting Georgia’s James Cook in the second round would take Buffalo out of the market for a running back. But after GM Brandon Beane referred to Cook as a “sub back” in a post-draft presser and compared him to NFL journeyman J.D. McKissic, I’m not sure that’s the case.

Cook is a skinnier guy who didn’t fill the every-down archetype at Georgia, so there still appears to be a vacancy at the top of the depth chart. And while the Bills will be just fine if they don’t add another running back—which isn’t a valuable position—it’s a testament to the roster that this is its biggest hole.

Solution: Trade for Saquon Barkley

The Bills would have to move some money around to fit Barkley’s $7.2 million salary under the cap, perhaps by restructuring Tre White’s deal. But why shouldn’t they? Barkley has been disappointing the last couple seasons, but he has yet to play in a good offense. Putting him in the same backfield as Josh Allen could unlock all that ability we saw at Penn State—ability that has been suppressed by the Giants’ general shittiness.

In 2022 Devin Singletary is just as good a back as Saquon Barkley.

These Barkley/CMC threads pop up like clockwork.  It's like there's an unwritten rule that we must have a biweekly "RB who I've heard of" thread.

[Johnny Hammersticks]

Stop this.  Please.  Ed Oliver, Dawson Knox and Tre Edmunds will all be coming up for contracts soon.  Beane is going to have to figure out what to do about Poyer and Hyde.  He’s not going to bring in an over-priced and oft injured RB.  No shot.

[JoPoy88]

Standards at the Ringer have dropped precipitously I see.

[billsfan89]

I think if the bills were making one last “fine tuning” move for the roster they are better off adding a vet CB or Oline player. Cook was added to the back field in the draft that’s plenty to pair with Singletary 

[Logic]

What a stupid idea. Someone got paid to write that? Sheesh.

[Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD]

Running back is the one position we where we definitely don't need any additions. We're in a situation where a talented rb (either Moss or Johnson) will likely be cut.

Does it really count as a thread if we are not “pounding the table” for Saquon?

I wish the half of this board that lives in the '80s would read this and think about it.

The Ringer: The Bills should make a trade for Barkley because ya know, why not?

I am wondering if someone got paid to post that trash.

 

Terrible.

Ya know, I'm really not that comfortable w/ our back QB position.  Why don't we swing a trade for Mahomes?  :DOH:

Well they just did finally put the hammer down on the B Hall thread, so this isn't all that unexpected.

[without a drought]

This thread was brought to you by Huh? What?

 

Seems appropriate.

[Mc1320]

This is just more click bait nonsense.  Beane hasn’t spent $7.2 million on his entire backfield let alone a single running back for a single season.

 

Only way Barkley comes here is if he gets cut and comes to play on veteran minimum.

You mean like whackamole like every other veteran who some knucklehead writes, let’s a take a look.  Good with a medical so we know for the future if an injury, but that’s all.
