Default It's Officiel: Bills Shopping McGahee

giants GM said bills approached them about a trade for mcgahee since they need a RB with tiki gone. but mcgahee is more of a power back, not a great receiver and would be less of a replacement for tiki and more an overlap with the huge back jacobs.

isn't obvious mcgahee would be the perfect replacement for dillon? there styles are similar and mcgahee is probably a touch faster now. mcgahee and maroney would be a very good combination.

so what do the pats need to give up to get mcgahee?

4 first round picks. They're not trading him in the division.

We don't need to be trading for a RB who will cost a solid draft choice and is a UFA in 12 months. If we were a team like Cleveland or The Jest who could sign him long term as their main RB, it makes sense. For us it makes no sense whatsoever.

McGahee has said that he feels is the best back in the NFL. I am not sure he has the "team" attitude or would want to share carries with Maroney. Might be worth looking at but I think far from a sure fit.

part of the trade would include a negotiated extension. bills look like they would take as low as a 3rd round for him, which is all they got for moulds last year.

bills wouldnt mind trading him in the division, he's not that high profile of a player. i have seen a lot of strong performances out of the guy, i think pats need to see what works for them, offer it to bills and give it a shot.

pats definitely need a starting-quality RB now to replace dillon. maroney has not in my mind shown he is the answer. if pats can get mcgahee for a 3rd rounder that's a steal. the guy was a 1st rounder just 4 years ago. he's averaged over 1,000 yards on a team with a poor offense.

for those who don't want mcgahee then tell me who replaces dillon and at what cost?
