You know, I WOULD pay for Mcgahee...
I kind of see two ways for this to go.....
1. we sit on our RB situation this year and cross our fingers. In all likely hood we'll not have a formidable running game with a franchise QB on our roster. Which means we pursue a RB via FA or draft. Edge will be tagged costing us a first and a third, and a decent RB in the draft would cost us a first.
2. We trade for a young promising RB. Mcgahee is by far the most promising of all.
That said he has injury problems. He completely blew out his knee. I REALLY think he can be a hell of a RB, but I HIGHLY doubt the bills would consider trading him. I'd offer O-gun (a proven talent) straight up for Mcgahee and keep our first. They'd get one of a defensive player, and we'd roll the dice on the RB. I may throw in a low pick as well 5th, that could change to a 3rd if he kicks serious ***. It'd get rid of the o-gun situation, and if we end up with a franchise back, hooray we got one a year early. And without the learning curve that a brnad new rookie would bring.
