Default Dillon to Buffalo?

clayton reports bills are first team to show enough interest in him to actually setup a visit, which will take place tomorrow. bills are assuming they will have moved mcgahee by next season and thus very open to many running back combinations. would be odd seeing dillon in a bills uniform. and i think the guy still has a year or two of tread life left so he could help shore up their poor red zone and 3rd down conversion rankings. i could see him doing some damage behind bills new oline. but could he really play hard against his former team and team mates the pats?

Buffalo, where ex-Patriots are surely never to be heard of again...

Maybe they can go for the daily double and sign Rhodes as well. That way they can have one of the worst run games in the NFL.

Dillon - will either be injured - or will have to take himself out after every other carry

Rhodes - would be lucky to average 3ypc in that offense.

Why on earth would you trade a very good back only to replace him with a guy in the "twilight" of his career.

Absolutely numb!

even if they traded McGahee and Dillion signed with the intention of being the featured back a lot of the mock drafts I have seen have the Bills taking a Rb in the first round so he might just end up in the same situation he was in here.

I don't think any team is going to make him their main featured back.

Maybe it's because their GM is too old to think clearly ?

Well they did add all that talent on their O-line.

So maybe old Marv thinks that he can pluck an oldy but goody in there and have him produce.
