There's been talk of that all off-season. Not sure how it plays out at this point (might he take a pay slash to stay in Minny? Who knows.)

 

However I feel pretty confident in saying that should he become available I don't see Beane being in pursuit.  Great player when healthy..but chronic shoulder issues are adding up. It would sink more resources into a room that should be improved already.

He'll be a Dolphin before Saturday.

That was the talk earlier in the off-season. Not sure that still happens now. Miami drafted Devon Achane and the report was he was the guy McDaniel was pounding the table for. Not sure they sink more assets into the RB room. I think if the Vikings are going to release him doing it now after FA and the draft is really doing him dirty as many teams have set themselves up at RB.

Ummm no.  He’s washed at this point.   Would be fun to throw him and lil bro out there at the same time, but we have too many RBs already. 

 

Definitely not washed, but Dalvin is a luxury the Bills cannot afford right now.

Miami will. He wants to play there

 

That's kind of scary.

With having to carry an extra punter thanks to 'genius' suggestions to the commissioner, and general cap woes, the Bills can't even afford 'Pepperoni Hug Spot' for pizza night. 🤨

Dalvin Cook is on a big contract that the Bills likely couldn't afford cap-wise and call me crazy but I actually like what the team has at RB. James Cook is coming of a solid rookie season, Stevenson is a bruising power back who makes for a quality RB2 and Hines is a really solid gadget player. The team also has some vet depth/insurance with Murray on the roster. 

 

If the Bills are going to make an "All in" type move to add one more piece to the roster I would rather go after a RT/WR to solidify the offense or a defensive piece like a MLB or pass rusher to reinforce the defense.

What's the quote about too many Cooks in the running back room?

 

We have speed and hands, and we have bruisers. We have both youth and experience.

 

And none of them are commanding big bucks. No way will Dalvin be a Bill.

I don't understand why he would pay the kind of money Cook would want especially with all the talent he has already brought in wouldn't make a lot of sense i don't think .

I'm not a huge fan of the guy personally. I know he had that big run against us, but I see him as overrated

Maybe before we renegotiated Nyheim Hines deal and gave him millions up front to keep him. Maybe before we signed Damien Harris. Maybe before we signed Latavius Murray.

 

Now? No way. We're set at RB and Cook is going to command money we don't have.

 

Yes. Would much rather get creative with the $ for OT and DE

Nah I think they have an over abundance of backs already so I don’t see them being in on DC. It would be cool to have both Cooks though.

I don’t see why Miami would be out on Dalvin Cook if he’s cut.  They have always hurt Mostert making 3M, always hurt fumble monster Wilson making 3M, achane + gaskin making 0 guaranteed money.  He can be cut at no charge. 
 

both Wilson and Mostert can be cut after this year. 
 

They may not be RB hungry, but if he wants to play in his home town and will take a 1 year cheap deal to play for a contender, I doubt they say no.  He MUCH better than all of those guys.  Doesn’t matter if some want to say he’s washed.  He’s still a dam good RB when healthy.

Let miami have all the RBs

 

ALLLL the RBs

 

the more touches that go to RBs, the fewer go to those WRs

 

Tend to agree but Dalvin Cook is a legit weapon, caught a ton of checkdowns from the white Dak Prescott in Minny too

 

He arguably won that game for them vs us last year, I don't want him in the division at all
