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.

It's like WRs in Baltimore in 2022.... we have a pass happy OC like they had a run happy OC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 fix the oline first. new guards and rt and put bates at center. then you will see cook and hines do much better. forget Singletary and saquon. sign or draft a #2 wr. cut Mckenzie.

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.

Billl Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 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.

Scott7975 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Sign him with what? The Bills are $15 mil over the cap and have 24 players to sign to get a full roster. Even restructuring Josh barely takes care of the cap we are already over. You want to restructure the entire team to sign one guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really got to look into the tackles who could move to G yet so I'll check him out. But so far, it seems the pure guards don't line up with our spot.

Ok so obviously without film I checked him out and it seems he could rise to a late 1st rounder. Whether at T or G, if he can play, you find a spot for a guy like that👍 I'm definitely going to follow his journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein's Dog Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Online sportsbook SportsBetting.ag released odds this week for the Pro Bowl running back Barkley’s next team (if not the Giants). The Baltimore Ravens were given the best odds at +400. The Buffalo Bills (+425), Denver Broncos (+500), New York Jets (+600), and New England Patriots (+700) were also listed in the top five.

This regime, and I think it is smart, is always going to draft a running back in the 2nd-4th round area. Grind them out and after 4 years let them go. 1st round running back isn't happening because you get stuck with the 5th year option situation and it isn't a great strategy unless a guy like Barkley falls to you. Giving huge money to a guy like Barkley while not reaping the benefits of his rookie contract just doesn't make sense in terms of asset management. I think they pursue depth there at the position in free agency, maybe a Samaje Perine who gave us issues last week and brings a different style than Cook/Hines and will be cheap. They are just not going to pay a RB 12-15 million a year. This will never be a RB centric team. Beane alluded to it. You can't pay a QB, a WR and other positions. They have big contracts in Allen, Diggs, Dawkins, White, Morse, Von Miller, Milano, with the eventual need for a couple of safeties and possibly a Mike backer, there is likely zero chance they would chase Barkley. I can tell you this, when it is time to extend Joe Burrow, the Bengals will be moving on from Joe Mixon. It just won't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
