a trade just to make one I guess.

nothing that the other teams did scares me anyway. We did not need another RB that wasn't named Jacobs or Kamara.

The only good thing is we got rid of Moss...Me personally, I would not of made a trade for a RB unless is was one of the 2 I mentioned other then that I would of stayed with my guys.

Moss sucks, its an upgrade and Hines can slot in at WR.

Beane wasn't giving up the assets for a prime piece. He stated Bills will need the picks down the line.

I've seen reports that Hines next 2 years are not guaranteed. If it is Moss and the pick to get Hines for just this year, I am good with that. The guy can flat out fly.

Bills acquired Nyheim Hines from the Colts for Zack Moss and a 2023 conditional sixth-round pick.
The Bills drafted James Cook with a second-round pick earlier this offseason in hopes that he'd fill the pass-catching role they've longed to have in their backfield. Considered by many as the best pass-catching back in the draft, Cook will in all likelihood to a backseat to Hines, who has made a career for himself as a satellite back. Hines has caught 25 passes for 188 yards on 28 targets this season, but Josh Allen is far from the checkdown king that Hines has grown accustomed to playing with. Cook would have some upside if Devin Singletary were to miss any time, but is unlikely to see much work on receiving downs moving forward.

I think that when they pass it to him it won't be as a check-down. They will be trying to find scenarios where he can catch a short pass and go to the house.

Sure, but it becomes a problem the next 2 years. He also plays WR so they might like the versatility. It might allow them to not dress a RB or WR as he can play both. We know they love versatility.
- Slump Buster

Depth my guess, if Singletary were to go down they'd be in rough shape. Can be a returner as well.

I've decided Tage scores 50 this season. In two years he'll be known as a cross of Lindros and Ovechkin offensively. Buy his rookie card now. That is all.

7 points in 9 games. Room for improvement for sure, but this Mitts has a ton of promise to me.

I don't get the analogy at all - those two guys were physical freaks. Tage is a unicorn because of his ability to skate and shoot.

I put a qualifying word at the end of that sentence. You claiming Tage won't crash the net for a goal?

Agreed. I think some people are having a hard time ridding themselves of narratives that they've clung to for years. His skating and his aggressiveness are really standing out.

He has the OV cannon one timer already. He is physically imposing now. Think of what he will be at the end of next season when he's 20lbs heavier. He's never going to hit like them, but he can score all the same goals they did/do.

He's a lot faster than he looks when he's moving the feet. Weird looking skater, but effective. Nothing like watching Skinner or Dahlin skate.

He is fine the way he is. Also, there is absolutely no way that he is putting 20lbs on that frame.
