Bills getting McCoy seems to imply he will not be resigned. He is s very dynamic dual threat RB with relatively low wear and tear.

I'd be down if he didn't cost a lot.

I'd give him a 2yr/3mil deal. He's good, but he's so injury prone that any long term or high cost commit would be a bad idea.

If by low wear and tear you mean he is always torn then sure.

Edit:
Welp he's played in more games than I thought but I know he's had a bunch of nagging injuries.

Could be a potential PT replacement but I don't think we go that route.

Same way I feel about bringing in Spoon. Do it if money is right but don't expect 16 game starters. Plan to have better options on your team and if they work out then fine.

With the type of Injuries Weatherspoon has had I'd be worried he lost too much speed and that was his game.

Injury prone??

He missed 3 games from 2010-2013. He had a shoulder injury last year that took some time but he has been very durable the 1st four yrs in NFL.

I don't want Spiller.

Let's draft someone.

I think Ridley will come cheap and could be a huge bargain.

I also like Cortland Finnegan if he will be cheap

andre Johnson if he is cheap

We need to do it like 09...greer and sharper were bargain prices but played huge roles.

Finnegan is one I really like. he's super physical, he's very good and he is a passionate player.

He's had a lot of nagging injuries which caused him to miss parts of games and limited his snaps.

Just like Colston and Evans have played most of the last two-three years but have had nagging injuries which have limited their play. Graham too.

Games missed doesn't tell the whole injury history.

If Mark Ingram is going to get 4-6 mil per, then no. A bunch of teams will be in on spiller

Greer was a bargain in the same sense Lewis was. They both got second tier money.

Now Sharper at vet minimum was a HUGE bargain. That has to be one of the best FA signings ever all things considered.

he had a huge year and he had another pick six against the giants (the 90 yard variety too) called back because jonathan vilma's pinky kind of touched the side of eli manning's helmet

I'm not opposed to this, but who in the draft between rounds 3-5 would be better than Spiller? He is the Bush/Sproles mold with bigger size and better all around ability.

If Melvin Gordon somehow falls to us in the 2nd round, that would help us breathe a little.

he's done. I've read he played quite poorly last season

I'm down if cheep. He wants to win, and I think he would be interested to come here. His family is 5 hour drive from here, and he gets to play with Brees. To me this is a doable option.

I do not think Spiller has more ability than bush.

they both clock in at relatively the same 40 time, but bush's acceleration and agility were jaw dropping.

it's too bad he was never used like he was in Miami or his first year in Detroit

he was and is injury prone, he is not always utilized well, but at his best Reggie Bush was (and I think still can be) a beast

I would still rather get a mid round RB. BUT if the price is right, he could be a valued asset.

my sister and her boyfriend are friends with him and I hear the problem is what I expected

Belichick has a zero tolerance policy for fumbling and it started to create an issue because he was constantly thinking about fumbling

That's why he could be a bargain. One bad season doesn't mean a guy is done. Maybe he is, but I think he'd come very cheap. Worth a shot IMO

still an athletic monster, just played with absolute shite in Houston. Larry Fitzgerald couldn't complain in front of this guy. I agree, with a QB like Brees, he would be huge
