BuffaloBills1998 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) He looks/sounds fed up with the raiders. Some might call it a stretch but after watching this I think he can’t wait to get out. Also I don’t think we’re resigning Singletary Edited December 25, 2022 by BuffaloBills1998 2 2 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I think James Cook looks like he might turn out to be an extremely good player. 12 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 More likely we re-sign Singletary to a team-friendly deal than we pursue Jacobs after the season he has had. Not to mention Cook looks better and better as the season progresses. 6 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpack78 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I thought we should have traded for him at the deadline. I would think a 3rd maybe 4th would have done it and we would have got a comp pick back if he left in free agency. Regarding impending free agency - would not give a big contract to any RB given the current state of the NFL. I’d consider a two year deal if he would take below market value if he wants to ring chase. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Says Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Beane isn't likely to sign a RB that already has 4 years of wear & tear. With Allen's contract set to balloon,and the free agency of Poyer and Edmunds; Beane wont spend much on a back. Singletary fits this offense but if he signs elsewhere, Bills could survive with Cook and a couple inexpensive rookies 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 We have way too many of our own players to pay to spend money on the #2 RB in free agency after Saquon Barkley. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StHustle Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Just draft one in the late 2nd or 3rd like we always do 🤷🏾♂️ can’t afford to pay another one after we spent on Hines.

billsfan89 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I would rather spend the cap dollars on the Oline or retaining defensive talent. Jacobs is a beast but I think James Cook is a ready to roll player and the team can bring back Hines as a return and third down back. You then could bring in a pure back up to platoon with Cook (hopefully Motor if his number is reasonable) on the cheap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Singletary should be gone. Don't give RBs big money. That's why Cook was drafted. Do it all over again in a couple years. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilim17 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I've thought about this knowing it was a dream. We are too thin with resources to spend it on a superstar back. I think. But my, Jacobs and Cook would be a deadly backfield. And yes, it would make our offense very, very tough to stop. If we drafted a big-bodied WR with top-end speed plus a couple good O-lineman and signed Jacobs I would not be upset. In fact, it would be a season-long blue pill for my football-loving soul... 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maine-iac Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) I think Motor and Cook are very complimentary. If Singletary left next year I'd love to see someone with some more thump and I'm not talking about another 5'10" 210 pound "power" back. I would like to see them draft a back that's over 225 with a little bit of wiggle so Josh isn't the only short yardage option.

RB's can always be had, note Blackshear from Bills' preseason has gone on to force himself into the Panthers committee. I think Beane perhaps demonstrates too much loyalty at times; witness this WR group. Poyer, Edmunds, they'll find a way to keep in all likelihood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastport bills Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Doesn’t make sense to pay for a big time RB, when drafting one of the many talented backs to go with Cook, still on his rookie deal is good enough. Motor on a team friendly deal seems also doable. The place to spend in FA is the O-line and retaining Edmunds and Eddie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it all over again in a couple years. Singletary is one of very few players I could see staying at a real hometown discount, he loves the guys he's around and he love being in Buffalo. I know that's thrown around on here a bunch, but in this rare case I think it's true. Besides I don't think he's going to get offered big bucks, certainly some team will offer him more than the Bills will want to pay, but not big bucks. The sticking point may be would he be willing to be the #2 RB? I think if he were to stay, Cook will overtake him as the #1 next year.

Singletary averages more per rush then he does (career). Jacobs last two years has averaged 4 yards a carry and 3.9 years a carry. He is doing this behind a better O-Line in Vegas too. This is his first great year (5 yards a carry) and his other good season was his rookie year.

RunninRebel37 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I think it depends on the cost. I could see the Panthers, Rams, Falcons, Broncos (even tho Denver shouldn’t) with the Pats, Commanders or Bears a maybe. Serious dark horse team would be Dolphins. I think Jacobs is an excellent back when healthy, but that’s no guarantee. Between him , Hunt, and Miles Sanders (similar backs at end of their contracts) I like Sanders the most for the offense, but he’s most similar to Cook. Between Jacobs and Hunt, I’d take Jacobs but he might be most expensive. Would y’all take Jacobs on a 4 year/ 18-20 mil total? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt if a 3rd was offered, they’d have accepted. I’d trade Bernal or Moss for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
