TheWeatherMan Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I don’t believe this for a second. Kamara’s contract is back loaded. 2023: $16.1M / (0.7M savings) 2024: $23M (7.1M Savings) / 2025: $27.1M (23M savings). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not surprising if the offer was too low, but with the Saints being in the situation they are, you always have to see if they're willing to move one from star players in order to rebuild. Beane would definitely try to get a good deal and not overpay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unusual for college running backs at all. Particularly from run heavy offenses. They are rarely if ever asked to do it and the stakes are pretty big if you mess up at this level. I expect to see him more as the season wears on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want some toad rookie out there letting Josh Allen get killed because he doesn't know who to block. Marshawn Lynch was like that at first. Just now we are finding out that the Bills never made a serious offer to Carolina for CMC...so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GymShorts84 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Still don’t believe any of it. The Bills pass more than anyone, have a top tier offense that scores with anyone, and they want to trade picks for $10 mil/ year running backs? No way. They know they need those picks to fill their roster because of the big contracts they already have. A top price RB guarantees Poyer and Edmunds are gone.

He didn't play in the KC game (as others have mentioned) and he had 8 snaps in the Ravens game. I would wager money that going forward Moss gets the least number of snaps of the Bills RBs. When will fans realize that McDermott does not push rookies (especially on the offense) early in the season. All that being said, I'm not going to hate on the idea that Beane wants more depth (especially a bruising type of runner) at RB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
