Any trade market they had probably dried up as the draft went along. If the Bills had been in the mix, once Elam was drafted, we became a little less desperate to trade draft capital for him. As Schoen has said himself, Beane is a killer.
Last year of his deal and turning 31, guy would be foregoing a lot of money this year and likely take a lesser deal with someone in 2023. Would not be a smart move for Poyer.
