    Chris Brown looks like he will sign with us

    I saw somewhere on this board or some other board that he was deciding between us and Detroit and now that Detroit has plenty of pretty good RBs (Jones, Bell, Calhoun, Duckett, and i think maybe Bryson)......this pretty much leaves 2 options, start talking to the Titans again or sign with us........i think he will sign with his by Sunday night.

    If the kid could just stay healthy, he'd be an adequate fill-in. Hopefully its no more than a two year deal.

      he could break them though and win us some games....if we draft a good enough RB we could survive about 4 games without him and if we signed him hopefully he'd miss les but deffinetly not anymore

        At best, he's only going to be an average back. But even with that being the case, we're not in a position to be thinking about a franchise back unless we want to roll the dice on Lynch, and there's no guarantee that even he will be a stud. He obviously couldn't be the only guy brought in (Brian Leonard), but it could be a worthy gamble.

          The pickings are getting pretty slim. Now that Rhodes and Duckett are out of the picture, it's down to Brown, Turner, or a first or second rounder.

            I'd still love to see Turner, I'm just pretty sure that OBD won't pony up (or shouldn't pony up) what it'll take to get him here. That leaves us pondering Chris Brown.

              Chris Brown is about as good as McGahee, except he's more of a slasher than a "power" guy. He'll be a good, solid signing to work in tandem with a draft pick!
              Good riddance Fairchild. Of course, the knowledge of your departure will only make TE more hateable than the typical Bills QB. Good luck, hope we don't mess you up like JP.

                  That's a bold claim. 6 yards a carry is a little more impressive than what Johnson did before we gave up the Fred Taylor pick for him.

                    The guys is a beast, and young i'd buy his jersey the first chance i could get. I think the bills are looking at a trade more then signing any of these guys. Lets face it, they are being awfully patient. Part of me thinks they have a deal already worked out with another team. Maybe draft day, or maybe lynch is their man, Maybe trading up Peterson? I believe something is set at the moment and we are going to have to wait till draft day to find out.

                      Yeah,,,, i think he will be similar to Lamont Jordan,,,, great change of pace RB but wont cut it as an every down player.

                        I just have this feeling the bills have their eyes on a guy already that will be available in rd 2 ...Keep your eye on Pittman from Ohio st or Jackson fron Nebraska-rd 4 guy....Leonard from rutgers is a dark horse in rd 2....

                          That exact thought has crossed my mind every time I see Turner's name mentioned.

                          I'm not being a smart ass - this is a genuine question - I don't follow college ball very closely, and I'm wondering what it was about Turner that made him a late 5th round pick? What has the guy done in the NFL to now warrant even the consideration of a 1st or 2nd round pick as a trade?

                          He comes in and spells the best back and best player in the league, and runs behind one of the best lines in the NFL - sure, he has some speed, but man, it just seems like a REALLY risky proposition - maybe not Rob Johnson-eque, but still VERY risky.

                            I have no problem at all with Chris Brown and a 1st or 2nd round RB in our backfield next year.
