I just went thru all the pages on the Bills forum.
Hillarious
One guy said take Bradys Knee out.
Best comment was I wish the Patriots traded their 6th round pick in 2000 for our backup RB.
Hard to see Buffalo NOT matching his offer if only for the PR consequences. After seeing Hogan, Gilmore, Branch, etc, have such success here, it might just be too much for Bills fans to see another guy leave and have success here.
So while the right deal on a purely football basis would be to grab the the draft pick and save the cap space, it might be too hard to watch another guy go south to the Pats in such a short period of time.
So I guess its BUFFALO BILL'S now..
If he was, it would explain why they're so far apart. Blount made less than half that last season, and has seen his YPC average dip in each of the past 4 seasons. I wouldn't expect the Patriots to be offering much more than last year, myself.Is it fair to guess that Blount was asking for more than $4 million for 2017?
I think Lewis brings a very different element to their offense. And how could you get rid of a guy who has never lost a game as a Patriot?
Lewis cost only 1.2 mill this season and is still a far better runner than White. Why would we just give him away for no reason?They just extended White. I think Butler and Lewis to NO ... Spoiler alert... And we bring Jason + 3 picks from NO
Lol if we sign him people will probably count him as an extra draft pick.Bills match offer
"Wow, can't believe they are stuck with him for that price. I wanted him, but not at that cost. Besides, this drafted is loaded with RB talent."
Lewis cost only 1.2 mill this season and is still a far better runner than White. Why would we just give him away for no reason?
3 reasons why:
1- They need picks
2 - All RB's except for White are FA's next year
3 - The RB class is deep
When is the deadline to match? Tomorrow?
Exactly.They need picks? Really? I am not so sure I agree with that reasoning.
Exactly.
Could they use them? Certainly.
Do they NEED them? Not this year.
Just so that I can be sure of your position:
The Patriots re-signed Bolden on April 5. Is it your expectation that they will cut him later this offseason, despite that?
He is an FA next year.With all these RBs...do you think they expect to lose Lewis in the coming years? Is his contract up after this year or next
