Backfield brothers? I'd like to bring him in for a modest price.

He’s 27. I know RBs don’t make a ton these days, but I suspect he won’t a particular bargain
Fins will overpay
well somebody better.
28**60**128**133**144**160**163**200**204**248
So what?
This really has nothing to do with the Bills.
Maybe sign him if he takes the vet minimum. The Bills are set at RB.
I’m with you… even the vet minimum joke at the end. Don’t need him.Originally Posted by notacon

It would be a shock if we made a move.
Lol he's better than everyone on the roster.
Mr. Pink (06-09-2023)
It would be a gift if he played for what we would offer.
Agreed but we don't have the money to pay him and again running back in this league doesn't matter.
Let someone else overspend.
Will he play for S&H green stamps ?

So what?
His cap number for 2023 was $14.1M.
For team that does not rely on the RB run game, paying big bucks for an aging RB would be dumb.
I was lobbying for the Bills drafting a RB in the first round this year IF Bijan Robinson somehow fell to the Bills at #27. That, of course, did not come close to happening.
I promoted that idea because getting an elite RB on a five year, cost controlled rookie contract and then move on with no second big bucks extension is fast becoming the best way to proceed in today’s NFL.
The Bills are set at RB. James Cook is poised to have a break out year...interestingly he was just named to Adam Schein’s.....
Which NFL players will improve in '23? Dak Prescott, James Cook, Kyle Pitts among GUARANTEED risers
James Cook’s cap numbers??....#4
James Cook
Buffalo Bills · RB
When you lose a fumble on your first NFL carry, you get buried. That's what happened to Cook, who coughed up the football on his first snap of the nationally televised Kickoff Game against the defending champion Rams. The Bills wound up winning in blowout fashion, 31-10, but it took a while for the rookie to get back into the regular rotation. In fact, he didn't log 20 snaps in a game until December. However, he sprinkled in plenty of promise as a runner and receiver. And with last year's leading rusher (Devin Singletary) now in Houston, Cook is a prime candidate for a Year 2 breakout.
Freshly minted Madden cover boy Josh Allen is a dynamic MVP candidate, but he needs more balance in the offense. Veterans Damien Harris, Nyheim Hines and Latavius Murray can have roles in the backfield rotation, but Cook needs to be the straw that stirs the drink. It's why Buffalo took him in the second round of the 2022 draft. He has explosive potential as a playmaker in Ken Dorsey's offense.
2023 - $1.3M
2024 - $1.5M
2025 - $1.8M
With the addition of Latavius Murray ($1M 2023 cap) the Bills are in a very good place for the RB position.
If Calvin Cook wants to take vet minimum, that would be acceptable and smart for the Bills. He won’t. So, like Mr Pink said, “Let someone else overspend."
I agree on not paying for a RB. But I wouldn’t call 27 aging…. DeAndre is aging.
He wants bank, and the Dolphins and Jets both have it.

This year they do. Rodgers is only cheap this year and Tua will wanna be paid

All we have left is Plaid.
Cook will turn 28 before the season starts. RB’s have the shortest careers of any NFL position.
The NFL “in comparison to the other football positions...the NFL goes through running backs like Amazon goes through warehouse workers”.
Hopkins is only 3 years older than Cook. WR’s do not take a fraction of the beating RB’s do.
There are many reason why RB’s have the shortest careers in almost all of sports.
28 years for a NFL RB is absolutely an “aging” one. So is Hopkins at 31.
We're done with any of the bigger names that are still out there.
RB average 2.57….. WR 2.81 years… not a monsterous difference.
Yeah...I know that. But, in the real world, everyone knows that RB’s take a HUGE beating as compared to WR’s.
An aging RB is worth a LOT less than an aging WR....irrespective of the pretty substantial difference in value for the position.
With that said, I don't think that Hopkins OR Dalvin Cook are worth anything close to what they want to the Bills. Maybe some other team, but not Buffalo.
