Bills need to go all in and sign Saquon Barkley and draft OL help. I know it will require a lot of cap space and maneuvering, but could be done. Hopefully he will not require an extremely long term contract and will believe that he could win a SB here in Buffalo. Eisen believes this is what we should do and I agree.

Hello, the 80s called. They want their offense back. Maybe we can get Barry Sanders to come out of retirement, he probably still has tread on the tires. 

 

It's a passing league now and we have ONE WR who can get open and catch the ball.

 

Please, let's CONTINUE to ignore WR ...

This makes about as much sense as drafting Cook and obtaining Hines... if we have an OC who CONTINUES to criminially underutilize our running game/weapons and overutilizes Josh, IT IS POINTLESS. It's like WRs in Baltimore in 2022.... we have a pass happy OC like they had a run happy OC.

Okay ... let's go all in on Barkley so Dorsey can give him 7 carries a game while we chuck the ball 50 yards downfield to Stefon Diggs and a bunch of undrafted free agents.

 

Believe me, I want to have an effective running game ... but big money on Barkley is not the answer. I'd rather bring in Greg Roman as run game coordinator and draft a 4th round RB to go with Cook and Singletary (who we probably can resign cheap)

 1st I think he resigns with the Giants.  2nd why? Your offense never uses the RB in their game plan, they always seem to be an after thought. (See last game for example). I don’t think Barkley go to Buffalo just for that reason, if he left he go somewhere like Miami or Baltimore where he can pump his numbers up more, but again I think he resigns with the Giants.

Why would anyone want him?  He averaged 4.4 ypc in the running game and 4.4 yards per target in the passing game.  Add to that the fact that he had 352 touches last year (the exact same number as his rookie season), and he's likely to get hurt again.

I love Saquon but we need hogs up front more than anything. Take that money and sign RT Mike McGlinchey to sure up that right side of the line and draft a couple interior guys RDs 1-3.


Also keep in mind that we can re-sign Singletary at 1/3 of the cost of Barkley and Singletary has less wear.

 

My FA wishlist 

• Mike Gesicki, TE, Miami UFA

• Mike McGlinchey, RT, SF UFA

How is it possible that people came away from that game the other day and arrived at the conclusion that we need a running back? Seriously?

Then who's gonna run the ball next year? Cook? Hines?

Oline is the issue not RB. Cook is a ready made back heading into 2023 and Singletary/Hines are solid depth options if they are brought back. The team needs two new starters on the Oline plus depth and an heir apparent for Mitch.

Ryan Bates can slide into the C when Mitch finally leaves. I can't see us bringing Singletary back with way Cook took over the starting spot in 2022 and with Hines coming in as a #2 more. We should draft someone that can compete for touches/be a hammer when needed but drafted later than sooner.

No OL line up with the value of our pick. They don't fit the scheme they are slow power run scheme types. Best to sign a free agent and draft back to back guys in rounds 2 and 3 or 3 and 4.

There may be some OTs that they consider at end of round 1.  Pick could compete with Brown or maybe move inside to G temporarily or permanently.  Maybe Cody Mauch is a possibility.
