They must’ve targeted McGovern from jump because they locked that up QUICK. Then we spend more on Deonte Harty than Parris Campbell got?… Seems we had competition for him, so maybe he’s going to show us why this year. Poyer re-signs, Kyle Allen backup QB and a few low level/ST’s re-signings. Then… crickets …. People signing all over the place for wildly cheap deals at positions we could upgrade. Deonte Harty reportedly took less to sign with us due to the fit, so maybe the inverse is happening with some of these guys against us.. or we’re just not interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what James Cook, who will be getting the majority of carries, is for. We need Zeke for short yardage, or when we get inside the 5 yard line. He still has enough power, and his top-level instincts and vision, to find the right opening and power through for the TD. Even being worn down, he had as many rushing TDs last year (12) as Josh (7) and Singletary (5) combined. Need him to compliment Cook like he did Pollard.

I have very little confidence in a guy that tiny. I’m not sure if the plan is to find a Tyreek Hill style player but I seriously doubt this guy is it. And with the unexplainable obsession with STs…I’m sure that’s a plan here too. Which, why are we bringing Hines back then? This team just will not get away from these STs roster spots. The truth is, STs has been almost rendered useless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Just now, Chaos said: He was the Cowboys worst run blocking linemen. Do we get any of the good run blockers? Well he was their starting OG and Zeke runs inside. So if he is so poor in run blocking, it must mean Zeke can still contribute himself. Problem solved.

If we can wizard him him at the vet min of $1,165,000 he might be worthwhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) For those keeping score at home, Bills have gained 3 free agents and lost 2, so they are not eligible for the 3rd round comp pick they would get for losing Tremaine Edmunds, per Cover 1 Buffalo podcast. I normally don’t care about comp picks, but an extra 3rd would be great, especially with an aging secondary.

The truth is, STs has been almost rendered useless If Harty turns out to be the next Tyreke Hill in hiding, then Beane will be the executive of the year. If he performs at his historical production levels, we need a new GM. Truth probably lies somewhere in between.

Yeah man, I'm not trying to give him $10M/yr, although i think vet min is equally unlikely. But if we can get him on like 2/$10M fully guaranteed. Or 3/$15M fully guaranteed with the 3rd year being void. Then why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the high priced dreamy vets people all star studded in love with I'd take him over the rest. He reminds me of several RBs who went on to a second stint and did beyond what was expected. Who was the [maybe] Cards RB that went to the Jets? I think Zeke could be a factor here with Cook and I'd bring back Singleterry. Hines can stay, too. I don't know what the plan will be for Jones, however. I'd keep Jones over Hines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about James Robinson from the Jaguars? When Breece Hall went down, they picked him up, and I expected him to have a much bigger impact. Turns out I was wrong.

Zeke doesn’t even look good running short yardage. He gets blown up. And so now. A bills team that gets blown up routinely on obvious 3/4 and short plays. Going to trot out mr im going to run Zeke ? Nah. Hard pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why anyone expects us to make a lot of moves, or even more than what we've made. We simply don't have the cash this year. Frankly, I'm kind of thrilled that we signed a starter, and another guy who will get a lot of playing time. And we only really lost Edmunds. Because they have a bit more cap, I think we'll see one more signing (of someone who is more than depth). But I'm not necessarily expecting it, and won't be that disappointed if nothing happens. We've already done more than I thought we would. For most of the positions you mentioned, we'll likely be looking to the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one of those who is against Zeke or Fournette, but there are other options there also. But if nothing happens - we can always target a bigger RB in the later rounds of the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 1 minute ago, Brianmoorman4jesus said: We’ll we certainly at least need a RB here Cheap and easy to find. If #2 RB is one of our biggest concerns, then we are doing pretty well. I know it isnt the top need, and there are a handful of others. But ILB, OG, RB2, and WR2 are all pretty low value positions across the league (maybe not WR2, depending). Could have far worse holes to fill.

Virgil Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 OBJ made a statement that he wouldn’t sign for less than 4 mil this season. I’d take that chance. Far less than the 20 mil he was rumored to want 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
