BillsFanForever19 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 6 minutes ago, CapeBreton said: Paying up for Jamaal Williams seems like the opposite of the Bills RB philosophy. There’s lots of good RBs in the draft and maybe the Bills take one late. Jamaal Williams owes Amon-Ra St Brown for consistency getting tackled at the one yard line. They guy was a just a touchdown machine but he’s not that good, definitely won’t be worth his price tag. Paying up depends on your view on things. Spotrac estimates his value at 4.1 annually while they estimate Devin Singletary at 5.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we should sign him, that depends on his price tag. But your assessment is way off base. Never heard someone call a 1000+ yard rusher, who only started half the games last year, just a TD machine before. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I don’t ever like paying for a RB, but there are definitely worse signings. Cutting Hines to pay for Williams I would be ok with. Williams seems like a real high character, high motor player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if being a just a TD machine would be such an awful player to add He’s a solid back, stylistically an almost perfect complement to Cooks, and should be significantly cheaper than the top of the market guys. As you said, if the price is right it’s a great move. Not sure how anyone could think otherwise. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 He's good, but not great. His greatest asset by far is ball security. Dude never fumbles. In Madden, his "CAR" rating (Holding on to the rock) is an exceptional 97 out of a possible 99. Heck ya. He's similar to Moss, but measurably better. We will have many needs on draft day and the RB class in both FA and this draft class is strong, but he definitely fits the mold of what our offense needs. We'll see what route Beane takes. Now add at least 2 BIG upgrades on the OL and we're in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills management showed what they were looking for when they drafted Moss to compliment Motor. It clearly didn’t work out. Who’s to say they aren’t looking to get back to that mode with Cook and Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Your typical Beane type of signing. There's nothing dynamic about Williams, but he would be a good goal line back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comebackkid Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 On 3/11/2023 at 6:13 PM, HappyDays said: I like him as a complement to Cook. The one thing I'll say is he played behind a really good OL so it's hard to tell if he's responsible for the short yardage TDs, or the OL is. But he runs downhill and can play three downs. how does he do on a flat field tho? 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverOutNick Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Broncos signed Samaje Perine, formerly of the Bengals, to a two-year contract worth $7.5 million that’s a deal I would’ve been happy for the bills to do for Perine. Anything more than that for a short yardage back who can run block is moronic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Am I the only one that doesn't want the Bills to spend money on a free agent running back unless it's for vet minimum? James Cook was drafted in the 2nd round and averaged 5.7 ypc as a rookie. Nyheim Hines is explosive and has been criminally underused his whole career. Already, with those two, you have a fast, versatile, pass-friendly duo. Draft a short yardage and pass blocking running back somewhere in the 5th-7th rounds. Sign an UDFA. Done. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
