soflbillsfan Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 According to Adam Schefter bills signed Ivory to a 2 year deal. Big fan of him playing backup to Shady. 2 years $5.5 million with $3.25 million in guarantees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuy82 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Nice between tackle compliment to Shady. Won't be primary back here so not worried about the wear and tear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a change of pace back who brings something different and won't be getting hundreds of carries, who cares if he's a little older? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also doesn't have that many miles on him (mostly because he's been hurt a lot but still). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hesitant on what to think of this signing. I guess he's more of an actual running back than Toldozer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played alright but Fournette dominated the show with other guys in the backfield like Yeldon and Grant so he was starting to get buried in the depth chart. Also keep in mind that Marrone and Hackett were running the offense just look at how it worked out when Spiller was in Buffalo, they kept misusing him so I think he will improve from what he did in jacksonville but I do not expect him to be that probowler that was with the Jets. Either way it fills a hole before free agency and draft start and this means no more TOLBERT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Nice signing. Doesn't completely rule out taking a RB late this year but at least now we don't have too. Lots of younger guys in Jones, Cadet, Green and Murphy to bring to camp and fight for the 3rd spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfaninptown Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Not a huge fan of this deal. 3.25 million guaranteed and 2 years 5.5 million seems a little high for a backup RB. I do believe he can be a decent change of pace and short yardage back, but I feel like we could have found another RB that could do that at half the price or we could just draft a RB in the middle to late rounds.

BigMountainGoat Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I would still be tempted to look at one of the high ceiling low floor RBs late in the draft. If someone like Akrum Wadley is there in the 5th he would be worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxmw22 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I like how (along with the vontae davis move) this has no influence on comp picks for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes definitely another bonus of signing them. bills should look at Mo Wilkerson as this will have the same result of not losing out on comp picks and get a solid DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this front office would much rather avoid that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that McDermott usually shies away from players with baggage, but I think a one year incentive laden prove it deal wouldn't be a terrible idea.
