DCofNC Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 2 hours ago, Process said: Look at how other rookie RBs are performing. 2nd round rookie RBs should be able to perform right away. Not saying he's a bust but definitely a big disappointment so far. Hopefully we see him get unleashed now after the bye. I am still surprised with that pick, I said it when they picked him, he’s never been able to block, this team relies on backs to block. He’s never going to get on the field until he can do that, they literally might as well line up a slot WR in the backfield, that’s what they drafted.. bad pick IMO. This FO struggles to project RBs that’s for darn sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydboy12 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Saints may have leaked this just to motivate Kamara a little. He’s having a big game today. I don’t see the Bills giving up the assets to acquire a guy like him. They may have called but my bet is it never got to the negotiation stage.

However, just because we didn't match that doesn't mean it wasn't a serious offer. We were linked to CMC for a LONG time. I'm guessing they offered a 2 and 4. "Buffalo called early, as we said, and kept tabs on the situation throughout, which was easy enough with the strong ties between the Bills’ and Panthers’ front offices.

It's well understood what CMC went for. If we could have afforded him long term, we robably would have done what was necessary, but the Bills were either looking for a half season rental or controlled contract.That quote does not mean we didn't make an offer, just that the offer wasn't up to the competition.

Listen, this is a non-story except for the small vocal minority here that insists on trying to prove a narrative that they never made an offer for reasons. It's pretty clear that they did, just as it's pretty clear it's now irrelevant. This staff views playmaking RB as a need going back to last offseason and they clearly still do in spite of drafting Cook. That's the story. 2 minutes ago, Nihilarian said: “Hearing the #Bills offered a second-round draft pick for CMC, but weren’t prepared to budge further,” Wawrow tweeted.
